Abstract: A cushion member includes a tubular portion and an abutting portion. The tubular portion has, in its inside, a hollow that extends in a second direction perpendicular to a first direction that is a longitudinal direction of a storage portion. The tubular portion can be elastically deformed by an external force in the first direction. The abutting portion abuts on, in the first direction, a portion of the cover portion other than the lid. An evasive cut portion is formed at a portion of the tubular portion that faces the lid of the cover portion in the first direction, the evasive cut portion being a cut that is cut into from an end of the tubular portion in the second direction.

Abstract: Provided is an imaging element including a photoelectric conversion unit formed by stacking a first electrode, a photo-electric conversion layer and a second electrode. The photoelectric conversion unit further includes a charge storage electrode which is disposed to be spaced apart from the first electrode and disposed opposite to the photoelectric conversion layer via an insulating layer.

Abstract: A game machine comprises a physical lottery mechanism including a plurality of lottery portions, wherein an image display device having a transmissive screen through which each lottery portion can be seen is arranged on each of the front and back of the lottery mechanism; games different from each other are simultaneously performed so as to make a difference between a lottery portion to be used in a game for one side of the lottery mechanism and a lottery portion to be used in a game for the other side of the lottery mechanism, and display of the image display device is controlled so that a lottery state of a lottery portion being used in a game is seen through the transmissive region of the screen, while a lottery state of a lottery portion not being used in the game is less visible or invisible in the game.

Abstract: In an image forming apparatus, a reservation managing unit receives a reservation request from a mobile terminal device of a user, and registers reservation information. The reservation information indicates (a) a usage time zone specified by the received reservation request and (b) the mobile terminal device. The operation restriction unit changes an operation control mode from an operation permission mode to an operation prohibition mode if (a) the mobile terminal device detected by a terminal detecting unit is a mobile terminal device of a reserving user who reserved as the usage time zone a current or a next time zone and (b) there are no currently using users. The operation permission mode is a status where an operation of an unspecified user can be received, and the operation prohibition mode is a status where a user operation is prohibited until a release operation of the reserving user.
