An information processing apparatus includes: a detector that detects a voltage of a power system to which the information processing apparatus itself is connected, from among a plurality of power systems to which are respectively connected a plurality of electrical devices respectively available for communication; a receiver that receives running information expressing running conditions of each of the plurality of electrical devices; and a reporting unit that uses a detection result of the detector and a reception result of the receiver to report whether or not an electrical device corresponding to the running information received by the receiver is connected to the power system to which the information processing apparatus itself is connected.

A recording medium processing apparatus includes a housing that accommodates a processing unit, which is capable of processing a recording medium, and that has an internal space a part of which is open; an internal stacker that is disposed in the internal space and that allows the recording medium to be stacked thereon; a light source that is disposed in a part of the internal stacker and that emits a light beam toward a predetermined position on the internal stacker, the light beam notifying a user of a state in which the recording medium is or is not stacked on the internal stacker; and a reflection member that is disposed in a part of the internal stacker and that reflects the light beam from the light source laterally outward from the internal stacker.

A power detection device includes a first zero-crossing detector, a current detector, and a second zero-crossing detector. The first zero-crossing detector detects zero-crossing timing of an alternating voltage of power supplied from a commercial power supply and outputs a voltage zero-crossing signal. The current detector detects current of the power. The second zero-crossing detector detects zero-crossing timing of the current detected by the current detector and outputs a current zero-crossing signal. A power factor is obtained based on a phase difference between the voltage zero-crossing signal and the current zero-crossing signal, and active power is calculated based on a root-mean-square value of the alternating voltage, a root-mean-square value of the current, and the obtained power factor.

An electronic apparatus includes a first thermoelectric converter that converts thermal energy dissipated from a heat source into electrical energy, a second thermoelectric converter provided on a side of a low-temperature portion of the first thermoelectric converter and that converts electrical energy into thermal energy, and a power supply controller that controls supply of power to the second thermoelectric converter such that the low-temperature portion of the first thermoelectric converter is cooled or heated.

A power estimating apparatus includes a functional unit, at least one converter, a detection unit, and an estimating unit. The functional unit uses an alternating-current power supply. The at least one converter is connected to a branch point between the alternating-current power supply and the functional unit and includes a smoothing capacitor so as to convert an alternating current from the alternating-current power supply into a direct current. The detection unit obtains a total amount of currents supplied to the functional unit and the at least one converter. The estimating unit uses the total amount to estimate an amount of the current supplied to the functional unit. The total amount is obtained by the detection unit in a charge and discharge period during which the smoothing capacitor performs a charge and discharge operation.

An image processing apparatus includes a first controller, a second controller, and a third controller. The first controller controls an output unit that outputs an image. The second controller controls a reading unit that reads an image. The third controller controls, in response to receipt of a power reduction request, the first controller or the second controller to restrict performance of the output unit or the reading unit so as to satisfy the power reduction request.
