Abstract: A sheet feeding unit includes a first supporting mechanism configured to support a first area of a recording medium in a range from a leading edge of the recording medium 5 to a first portion extending to an opposite direction to a sheet feeding direction of the recording medium, a second supporting mechanism configured to support a second area of the recording medium in a range from an upstream portion of the first area of the recording medium to a second portion toward a trailing edge of the recording medium, and a third supporting mechanism configured to support a third area of the recording medium in a range from an upstream portion of the second area of the recording medium to a third position after the second portion and toward the trailing edge of the recording medium.

Abstract: The present invention provides a novel method for treatment of schizophrenia which can improve wide-ranging symptoms of schizophrenia, especially positive symptoms and negative symptoms without being accompanied by extrapyramidal symptoms, which comprises orally administering as an active compound (1R,2S,3R,4S)—N-[(1R,2R)-2-[4-(1,2-benzoisothiazol-3-yl)-1-piperazinylmethyl]-1-cyclohexylmethyl]-2,3-bicyclo[2.2.1]heptanedicarboxyimide or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof (e.g., hydrochloride) at a daily dose of 5 mg to 120 mg once a day to a patient with schizophrenia, and a therapeutic agent to be used in said method.

Abstract: A method for delivering messages in which an electronic message sent from a sender to a receiver is delivered at the same time as an article or directly after an article being delivered and in which an electronic message delivered at the same time as an article can be updated. The above problems are solved by the step of accepting an article to be delivered, the step of accepting an electronic message by associating it with the article, and the step of sending the electronic message associated with the article to a receiver of the article in the case of receiving notification that delivery of the article is completed. Furthermore, the above method comprises the step of accepting an article to be delivered, the step of accepting an electronic message by associating it with the article, and the step of permitting updating the electronic message associated with the article before receiving notification that delivery of the article is completed.

Abstract: In a method for intermediating images, user group information concerning at least one user group to which the user belongs is extracted from a user group table recording a relationship between the user and the user group based on the authentication information of a user. The user group information extracted is sent to the user and obtaining information of a selected user group selected by the user and an image corresponding to the selected user group selected by the user is extracted. Then, the image corresponding to the selected user group is sent to the user.

Abstract: A cushioning apparatus provides an improved on a watercraft in order to improve the comfort of the ride, to reduce rider fatigue and to cushion impact forces experienced by the watercraft hull. The cushioning apparatus absorbs at least a portion of any impact force which the rider experienced from the hull, as well as provides a degree of movement between the rider and the hull in order to cushion such impact forces. The cushioning apparatus may also isolate the rider, at least to some degree, from vibrations experienced by the hull.

Abstract: The present invention describes a method and apparatus for monitoring and indicating engine oil deterioration during the period of the oil's useful life in an internal combustion engine. The system and method permits a determination of the rate of deterioration of the engine oil as a function of oil temperature or RPM of the engine and provides a continous output signal representing the remaining useful life of the oil which is provided to the driver when desired. The present invention therefore, estimates the time when the oil will reach an undesirable deterioration level during the course of operation of the engine rather than indicating, as many prior art systems, only when the oil reaches an undesirable level requiring an oil change.
