Abstract: Establishing a reading station for reading images on an document disposed in a transport path between paired transport rollers and paired discharge rollers to sequentially feed documents on a sheet supply tray enables a compact device and arranging a detection sensor that detects the trailing edge of an document to detect the discharge thereof to a discharge tray at a position on the discharge tray side from the pressing point of the paired discharge rollers, and the positioning of a detection sensor to detect the leading edge of an document to control the start of reading documents, at a position upstream of the transport roller prevents distortion of the document and enables the certain detection of documents.

Abstract: An image reading apparatus for reading originals, which is transported one at a time, at a predetermined reading station is provided with a first reading station for reading one side of the originals at a bottom of a U-shaped transport path for guiding the originals from a document supply tray to a discharge tray and a second reading station for reading the other side of the originals in a straight portion of a discharge tray for stable reading of the originals. A guide unit forming the second reading station is detachable from below to improve maintainability, and is equipped with an adjustment device for easy adjustment of inclination of the reading unit for reading the originals that pass through the second reading station.

Abstract: The Thermangel has many practical advantages which have been previously mentioned such as cost-effectiveness of patient care, improved patient outcomes, convenience, enhancing the current clinical practice of medicine. All age groups stand to benefit from the invention of the Thermangel. We will be better able to manage the health of many people by utilizing this thermocorrecting device. In addition, with an aging population and a nursing shortage we must find ingenious ways to cut cost and improve care.
