A voltage generation apparatus includes a booster circuit which outputs a direct-current voltage after having performed boosting processing, the voltage value of the direct-current voltage being specified on the basis of a pulse width of a series of pulse signals inputted, a direct-current to alternating-current conversion circuit which generates a ringer voltage to be supplied to a device connectable to a telephone line by converting the direct-current voltage outputted by the booster circuit to an alternating-current voltage, and a control unit which outputs a series of pulse signals to the booster circuit. the series of pulse signals having a feeding-voltage pulse width corresponding to a target voltage value of a feeding, voltage or a ringer-voltage pulse width corresponding to a target voltage value. the feeding-voltage pulse width and the linger-voltage pulse width being pulse widths having been set in a voltage adjustment stage.

Voltage generation apparatus and voltage generation method

Disclosed is an image combining device includes a read unit and a control unit. The read unit includes a transparent holder and an image read section of flatbed type. The transparent holder holds a flat medium, and plural matching reference points are marked in an edge region. The image read section reads the medium placed on a reading window. A size of the medium is larger than the reading window. Each of the partial images, generated by the image read section, includes an image of a part of the medium and a part of the matching reference points. The matching reference points are arranged along a part of an edge of the image of the medium. The control unit combines the plural partial images based on the matching reference points included in the plural partial images, and generates a combined image including an image of the medium.

Image combining device and image combining method

A call signal generating device, whose pair of output terminals is connected to a telephone set, includes a rectifier rectifying an inputted high frequency signal and maintaining an output polarity in one of two polarities; and a polarity reverser generating a call signal by periodically reversing the output polarity of the rectifier and supplying it to the telephone set via the pair of output terminals.
