  • Publication number: 20240103256
    Abstract: An imaging lens includes a positive first lens group and a second lens group, which are continuous in order from the position closest to the object side, as lens groups. During focusing, the distance between the first lens group and the second lens group changes. A stop is disposed closer to the image side than a lens which is second from the object side. A combined refractive power of all lenses closer to the object side than the stop is positive. The imaging lens includes an LA positive lens and an LB positive lens that satisfy a predetermined conditional expression at a position closer to the object side than the stop. An Abbe number of the LB positive lens is the maximum among Abbe numbers of all positive lenses closer to the object side than the stop.

  • Patent number: 4475221
    Abstract: A copying machine managing apparatus identifies information recorded on a plurality of using section magnetic cards and on an administrative department magnetic card. The plurality of using section magnetic cards are respectively assigned to using sections and bearing thereon respective using section codes. When one of the using section magnetic card is inserted in a slit of the copying machine managing apparatus, the using section code is identified and a copying machine associated therewith is made operable. The number copies produced by the particular using section is accumulated by a digital computer at each production of a copy and stored in an RAM. The accumulated number is at the same time indicated on an indicator window of the managing apparatus. When the administrative department magnetic card is inserted in the slit, the accumulated number of copies for each using section is successively read out from the RAM and indicated on the indicator window.
