An image forming apparatus includes an image forming unit, a casing, a door, a switching portion, an operating portion, and an operation regulating portion. The operating portion is moved to a first operating position in which the switching portion is set to the first state and, a second operating position in which the switching portion is set to the second state. The operation regulating portion is switched between a regulating state in which the operating portion is regulated not to move from the second operating position to the first operating position, and an allowable state in which the operating portion is allowable to move from the second operating position to the first operating position. When the operating portion is operated to be moved from the first operating position to the second operating position, the operation regulating portion is changed to the regulating state.

A MEMS microphone includes a diaphragm having conductivity, first and second variable capacitors respectively including first and second fixed electrodes, a first voltage output section that outputs a first voltage changed according to a change in a capacitance of the first variable capacitor, and a second voltage output section that outputs a second voltage changed according to a change in a capacitance of the second variable capacitor. The first and second fixed electrodes face the diaphragm. The capacitances of the first and second variable capacitors are changed in accordance with a vibration of the diaphragm. A first bias voltage is applied to the first fixed electrode. A reference voltage is applied to the second fixed electrode. A second bias voltage is applied to the diaphragm. A difference between the second bias voltage and the reference voltage is half of a difference between the first bias voltage and the reference voltage.

A sheet conveyance device includes a rotary shaft, a conveyance roller, a driving source, and a gear. The gear rotates integrally with the rotary shaft and transmits a driving force from the driving source to the conveyance roller. The gear includes a tooth portion engaging with another gear, a wall surface forming a hole into which the rotary shaft is inserted, a deformable portion, and a pressing part. The deformable portion has a cantilever shape at least partially provided in an area provided with the tooth portion in a gear rotation axis direction. The pressing part protrudes from the wall surface toward the rotation center of the gear, and is elastically deformed by being pressed by the rotary shaft. The pressing part presses the rotary shaft toward the wall surface on a side opposite to the deformable portion in a state where the gear is attached to the rotary shaft.

An image forming apparatus includes a single fan, a first air outlet port disposed so as to supply air sent from the fan to an image surface of the sheet, a second air outlet port disposed so as to supply the air sent from the fan to a surface opposite to the image surface of the sheet, and a control unit configured to control the fan. The control unit includes a first mode of controlling a rotational speed of the fan at a first rotational speed in a case where the sheet is not present in a position facing the first air outlet port and control the rotational speed of the fan at a second rotational speed lower than the first rotational speed in a case where the sheet is present in the position facing the first air outlet port.

In a state where a communication session between a terminal device and a mediating unit is established, an information processing device transmits information in accordance with a processing request generated by the mediating unit based on input data of the terminal device so that an output based on the transmitted information is performed in the terminal device. The information processing device receives the processing request from the mediating unit, obtains guide information in accordance with the processing request, and intermittently and sequentially transmits a plurality of pieces of process information and, in a case where the communication session is disconnected before transmission of all the process information is completed, transmits information for executing an output in accordance with a transmission situation of process information when the communication session is disconnected to the terminal device.

An image forming apparatus has: a cassette which stores a sheet; a pickup roller which picks up the sheet inside the cassette; a feed roller which feeds the sheet picked up by the pickup roller toward an image forming portion; and a retard roller which is pressed against the feed roller and forms a separation nip. In addition, the image forming apparatus has a conveying guide which guides the sheet picked up by the pickup roller to the separation nip. A first guide member of the conveying guide is configured to be slidable in a drawing direction when the feed roller is replaced, and the conveying guide is formed of a material whose property of light transmittance of light having a wavelength of 360 nm to 420 nm is 80% or more. The feed roller is detachable from the one end of a shaft in a state in which the cassette is drawn out along the rail and the conveying guide is slid in the drawing direction.

Among images contained in information on a posted specific recipe, a predetermined number of the images that are equal to or greater than two are selected as procedure images based on a difference in images. The procedure images concerns a procedure of the specific recipe. Next, procedure outline content, which concerns the procedure of the specific recipe, is generated using the predetermined number of the procedure images. Further, information that contains the procedure outline content is presented as a search result of a search for a recipe.

A sheet conveyance apparatus includes a first guide provided in an apparatus body, a second guide provided in an openable portion, a flag member supported by the apparatus body pivotally, a detection unit configured to detect pivoting of the flag member, and a jam release guide provided in the apparatus body. In a state where the openable portion is open, the flag member is protruded into a space that is created between the openable portion and the apparatus body by an opening operation of the openable portion. The jam release guide is disposed at a position not hampering conveyance of the sheet in a state where the openable portion is closed, and is disposed to come in contact, together with the flag member, with a jammed sheet to regulate a posture of the jammed sheet in a state where the openable portion is open.
