Abstract: Disclosed is a sheet transport device having: a registration roller to transport a sheet after correcting a skew of the sheet; a drive source to drive the registration roller; a frame body; and a rotation resisting body which is connected to the registration roller on one side and is connected to the frame body on the other side, to create a resisting force against a rotation of the registration roller in a sheet transport direction.

Abstract: In a communication device which can realize a protocol conversion by a single device without preparing respective packages for existing various protocols, a protocol attribute included in a packet received is detected, protocol processing order data indicating a protocol processing order based on the protocol attribute are generated, and a plurality of protocols within the received packet are processed based on the protocol processing order data.

Abstract: A fixed-high-power-switching microscope including a usual variable power optical system which can be switched to a fixed high power high resolution optical system, as necessary, is provided. The microscope includes a second optical axis for the fixed high power bypassing the variable power optical system. A prism (reflecting element) movable into and out of a first optical axis switches a viewing optical path from the first optical axis for the variable usual power to the second optical axis for the fixed high power, as necessary, providing a clear magnified image at high magnification and high resolution.

Abstract: An electronic ticket management system includes an event organizer for planning an event, an electronic ticket seller for distributing electronic ticket information which authenticates the right to attend the event, an information storage chip for storing the electronic ticket information, and an electronic ticket platform center for managing the distribution of the electronic ticket information. The electronic ticket platform center forms an electronic ticket information master based on event information registered by the event organizer, and relates ticket issuing information registered by the electronic ticket seller to the electronic ticket information master. The electronic ticket platform center also issues the tickets by writing the electronic ticket information into the corresponding information storage chip based on ticket issuing information.

Abstract: A mobile terminal which has a tag section and menu section in a display. The tag section displays tags indicating menu names. A controller displays contents of one of tags on the menu section when the tag is selected by operating left and right selection keys. This allows to immediately switch to other menu just by selecting a tag shown on the display. Accordingly, an easy-to-use mobile terminal which requires fewer operations is achieved.

Abstract: A battery pack for use as a backup power supply device for various electronic devices has a rechargeable battery group having a plurality of cylindrical rechargeable batteries connected in series and/or parallel and arranged in horizontal flat arrays as a flat block, and an electronic circuit for controlling charging of the rechargeable battery group. Two heat radiating plates sandwich opposite surfaces of the rechargeable batteries of the rechargeable battery group and are held against circumferential surfaces of the rechargeable batteries. A battery case houses an electronic circuit positioned at an end in the direction of the arrays of the rechargeable batteries and surrounds the rechargeable battery group to accommodate them therein. The battery case supports the heat radiating plates so as to be exposed to the exterior. The battery pack is compact and free of thermal problems with the rechargeable batteries.

Abstract: In the case when EPG data of multiple channels is displayed on a display, if the data is attempted to be downsized uniformly and displayed, information of each displayed program is displayed smaller. Hence, such information becomes very difficult for humans to see.

Abstract: A microscope suitable for use together with MRI, and a support stand for the microscope are provided. A microscope 1 is a non-magnet type where any electric motor is not used, and hence does not induce fluctuations of magnetic field having effects on image quality of an MRI 3 by focusing or zooming. Hence, the microscope of the invention is suitable for use together with MRI 13. Since a clutch C is of non-magnet type, a support stand 2 does not induce changes in the surrounding magnetic field environments if the clutch is operated, and hence it is suitable for use, for example, in proximity to the MRI.
