A sludge drying apparatus includes a waste fluid bath for storing a waste fluid containing a sludge, an extracting unit for extracting the sludge from the waste fluid stored in the waste fluid bath, a transfer belt for transferring the sludge extracted by the extracting unit, a drying unit for drying the sludge to be transferred by the transfer belt, and a recovering unit for recovering the sludge transferred by the transfer belt and dried by the drying unit. The recovering unit includes a roll brush provided adjacent to the air outlet so as to horizontally extend in the direction perpendicular to the direction of extension of the transfer belt, and a recovery box for recovering the sludge separated from the transfer belt by the roll brush.

A sludge drying apparatus includes a drying unit for drying sludge as it is transferred by a transfer belt. The drying unit includes a box that covers an upper surface of the transfer belt and extends in a direction of extension of the transfer belt, an air inlet formed at one end of the box, an air outlet formed at the other end of the box, a fan provided outside the box for sucking air in the box from the air outlet and thereby intaking outside air from the air inlet into the box, a dividing portion for dividing the air discharged from the fan into two parts, and a return inlet formed between the air inlet and the air outlet for returning one of the two parts of the air divided by the dividing portion into the box.

A conversion circuit includes: a conversion section configured to convert each of analog pixel signals into digital pixel data; a timing acquisition section configured to acquire specified timing, in which the specified timing defines a display period during which display of each of the analog pixel signals is performed in a cycle of a synchronization signal; a timing setting section configured to set timing that defines an extension period that is longer than the display period, in which the timing is other than the specified timing; an enable signal generation section configured to generate an enable signal, in which the enable signal indicates the extension period as a period during which the digital pixel data is valid; and an output section configured to output the digital pixel data that is valid, in accordance with the enable signal.

A communication control device executes a call-out process of calling out a recipient telephone device while specifying an importance level via a telephone network in response to a request from a transmitter telephone device. A recipient received a call operates a mobile communication terminal after a telephone call ends, accesses an information providing server via a wireless LAN access point and the Internet, and inputs information evaluating whether or not an importance level specified for the received call is appropriate. The information providing server provides the input evaluation information to a storage device. The communication control device determines whether or not to execute a call-out process based on the evaluation information stored in the storage device when there is a call-out request from a transmitter.
