Abstract: An animal habitat value evaluation system includes: a terminal device; and an information processing device, wherein the terminal device includes: a first memory; and a first processor configured to: receive an input of an evaluation target region; transmit the input to the information processing device; and display information regarding a display screen from the information processing device, and the information processing device includes: a second memory; and a second processor configured to: receive and accept the evaluation target region from the terminal device; refer to a habitat information database storing animal habitat information in each region; calculate an animal-derived value in a case of determining that an animal inhabits in the received evaluation target region; generate a display screen in which the calculated animal-derived value and the evaluation target region are displayed in association with each other; and transmit the information regarding the generated display screen to the terminal

Abstract: An information presentation device includes a processor that executes a procedure. The procedure includes: for respective decision making entities, calculating assessment indexes of a plurality of respective assessment criteria, based on characteristic information representing a characteristic of each of the decision making entities; selecting, from the plurality of decision making entities, at least one decision making entity having a characteristic similar to that of an information presentation target decision making entity that is a target of information presentation, based on an assessment index calculated for each of the decision making entities; and acquiring and presenting information related to decision making by the selected decision making entity from a storage section storing information related to decision making for each of the plurality of decision making entities.

Abstract: A habitat determination method includes: calculating, by a computer, a first indicator, which is a number of trees per predetermined area with respect to a tree which allows tree mammals to inhabit; and determining, by the computer, according to the calculated first indicator and a characteristic of each tree mammal, whether or not each tree mammal is inhabitable.

Abstract: A cut sheet feeder for an image forming apparatus is basically formed of one sheet feed mechanism for picking up stacked cut sheets at a single sheet feed position, a sheet feed unit vertically movable relative to the sheet feed mechanism, a cassette detachably attached to the sheet feed unit and containing the cut sheets, and a sheet feed table vertically movably situated inside said sheet feed unit and carrying a large number of the cut sheets.. The feeder further includes a cassette presence detection device for detecting presence or absence of the cassette on the sheet feed unit, a cover detection device for indicating an opening status of a cover for the sheet feed unit, a mode establishment device for establishing a cassette feed mode or a table feed mode, and a mode control device for controlling the sheet feed unit.

Abstract: A cut sheet feeder for use with an image forming apparatus is formed of a sheet feed mechanism for picking up stacked cut sheets one at a time from a single sheet feed position and for feeding each sheet to an image recording portion; a sheet feed unit which is vertically movable relative to the sheet feed mechanism and to which a cassette containing cut sheets may be attached in a detachable manner; a sheet feed table which is vertically movable within the sheet feed unit and which carries a large number of cut sheets; a cassette presence detection device for detecting the presence and absence of a cassette on the sheet feed unit and for outputting a signal indicating either the presence or the absence of the cassette; a power switch for starting and stopping the cut sheet feeder; and a mode establishment device.

Abstract: A cut sheet feeder for use with an image forming apparatus, is formed of: a sheet feed mechanism for picking up stacked cut sheets one at a time from a single sheet feed position and for feeding each sheet to an image recording portion; a sheet feed unit which is vertically movable relative to the sheet feed mechanism and to which a cassette containing cut sheets may be attached in a detachable manner; a sheet feed table which is vertically movable within the sheet feed unit and which carries a large number of cut sheets; a plurality of detectors for detecting the positions of the sheet feed unit, the sheet feed table and the cut sheets relative to the sheet feed position; and a sheet overload detector. The overload is detected by the detectors with respect to the relative position between the sheet feed unit and the sheet feed table with reference to the sheet feed position.
