Abstract: In a case where an active system virtual server detects stopping of a heartbeat received from a standby system virtual server, the active system virtual server notifies a coordination apparatus of the detection of the stopping of a heartbeat. In addition, the active system virtual server reports whether or not a service is operating to the coordination apparatus. The coordination apparatus instructs the standby system virtual server to restart the system in a case where the stopping of a heartbeat and the operation of a service are received. The standby system virtual server restarts the service, restarts an operating system, or restarts the operating system in a case where the restart of the service is not successful, in response to an instruction for restarting the system.

Abstract: A driving device includes: a frame disposed in the driving device to support a driven unit driven by the driving device, the frame including a first portion, a distance from which to an outer wall of an accommodation device that accommodates the driving device is shorter, and a second portion, a distance from which to the outer wall is longer than the distance from the first portion to the outer wall; and a driving unit disposed between the second portion and the outer wall, at least a part of the driving unit being away from the outer wall by the distance between the first portion and the outer wall or more.

Abstract: A sheet containing apparatus includes a first container unit that contains a sheet having a first size and that tilts with respect to a horizontal direction such that a first end and a second end in a width direction of the apparatus are located at different heights with the first container unit installed in a sheet containing apparatus body when viewed in a first direction, and a covering portion that is movable to a covering position at which the covering portion covers at least a part of the first container unit in the first direction and an open position at which the covering portion uncovers the first container unit in the first direction. When viewed in the first direction, a tilting division line is adjacent to the first container unit and tilts with respect to the horizontal direction, and at least a whole of the tilting division line is covered by the single covering portion in the first direction with the covering portion positioned at the covering position.

Abstract: A document reading device includes: an image capturing member that captures an image of a document; a placement portion that is disposed below the image capturing member and that has a boundary line between multiple surfaces at a position at which the boundary line is covered by the document when the document has a maximum size that the image capturing member is capable of imaging and the document is placed on the placement portion; and a document reading member that reads the document that is placed on the placement portion.

Abstract: A document reading device includes an imaging unit that images a document, a placing portion that includes a first placing portion and a second placing portion and that has a placing surface on which the document is placed, the placing surface being formed by the first placing portion and the second placing portion, and a detector that detects an edge of the document that is placed on the placing surface by using a color difference or a luminance difference between the placing surface and the document. An end portion of the first placing portion adjacent to the second placing portion extends toward the second placing portion beyond an end portion of the second placing portion adjacent to the first placing portion.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes an apparatus body having an image forming part that forms an image on a recording medium and a medium storage part in which a recording medium to be supplied to the image forming part is stored; and a front opening/closing covering that is an openable and closable covering that covers at least a part of the image forming part and a part of the medium storage part on a front face of the apparatus body, wherein the front opening/closing covering is constituted by a single opening/closing covering that covers at least a range from one end to the other end in a left-right direction of the part of the medium storage part in a left-right direction of the apparatus body.
