A post-processing device includes an output unit that outputs a medium; a stacking unit on which the medium that is output is stacked; and a blow-out unit that is disposed below the output unit and that blows gas toward the medium that is output, wherein an amount of the gas blown is adjusted in accordance with a type of the medium.

Post-processing device and image forming apparatus

A post-processing device includes an output unit that outputs a medium; a stacking unit on which the medium that is output is stacked; and a blow-out unit that is disposed below the output unit and that blows gas toward the medium that is output, wherein a direction in which the gas is blown differs in accordance with a type of the medium.

The present invention is directed to identify genes involved in the growth of a plant and provide a transformed plant the growth of which is promoted utilizing the genes.

Transformation of a plant to promote root and/or leaf growth

A speech analysis unit and a window locating unit are implemented in a speech encoding apparatus. The speech encoding apparatus encodes input speech per analysis frame defined having a fixed length and is offset at fixed interval. the speech analysis unit extracts frequency spectrum parameters of the input speech taken within an analysis window. The location of the analysis window is specified by the window locating unit. The window locating unit selects the location of the analysis window which is used in extracting the frequency spectrum characteristic parameters at the speech analysis unit. In this case, depending upon the characteristic parameter of the input speech within and near the frame concerned, the window locating unit selects the location of the analysis window within the range which is not to be exceeding the range of the frame concerned.
