An electric power management system includes a power generation apparatus for generating electric power, a power meter for receiving grid-connected information and a power conditioner for outputting the electric power generated by the power generation apparatus to the electric power system based on the grid-connected information. The grid-connected information is information related to stabilization of electric power of an electric power system from a management center for managing the electric power of the electric power system.

Electric power management system

A power distribution system includes: a remote electricity monitoring device which is provided at each power supply destination, and remotely reads, via communication means, an consumed power amount and an surplus power amount stored in a power storage device at each supply destination; and a management server which manages the power supply of each supply destination while collecting, via the communication means, the consumed power information and the surplus power information, both of which are read by the remote electricity monitoring device. The management server distributes the power among the supply destinations in line with the relationship between the power amounts based on the consumed power information and surplus power information.

An apparatus for editing color image capable, by having a desired color in an original designated and an editing mode selected, of image editing for an image in the designated color in such an editing mode as trimming, masking, erasing, and conversion to another color. A desired color in an original image is designated by a designated color input portion and thereby designated color data for separated colors are obtained. Thereafter, the original image is scanned and image data for separated colors are obtained. The thus input image data are electrically edited in the selected edit mode based on the designated color data and the edited image data are output to an image forming unit and thereby an edited color image is obtained.

Image forming apparatus capable of editing color image

Image recording apparatus wherein a film is exposed to a laser beam so that an image is recorded on the film, the apparatus having a cartridge for winding the image-recorded film. The cartridge comprises a reel, a first and a second casing for housing the reel in such a manner as the reel can be dismounted, the casings capable of being integrated and disintegrated by moving in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the reel, a first guide unit disposed in the first casing for forcing the film wound around the reel toward the center of the reel elastically and a second guide unit disposed in the second casing for forcing the film wound around the reel toward the center of the reel.

A film conveying apparatus includes a portion for feeding a film, a portion for drawing the film and a slack detecting apparatus for detecting slack of the film therebetween. The slack detecting apparatus includes a light emitting portion and the light receiving portion, and when the light from the light emitting portion to the light receiving portion is intercepted by the film, it is determined that the film has slack. When the slack of the film is detected by the slack detecting apparatus, emission of light from the light emitting portion is stopped for a prescribed time period.

Film conveying apparatus

A focusing device for use in micro film readers or the like for projecting micro images to give in-focus conditon exactly and readily. The present device includes a memory for storing a distance data representing the distance between an original and a projective lens at in-focus position thereof, and a sensor for measuring the distance between an original and the projective lens wherein the projective lens is moved to the in-focus position by a focusing motor in response to the distance data stored in the memory and a signal representing the measured distance generated from the sensor.
