    Abstract: An image reading apparatus includes a document table, a reading device, a communication line, a rail, and a transport mechanism. On the document table, a document is placed. The reading device reads the document placed on the document table, and outputs image data. The communication line is configured to electrically transmit the image data. The rail extends along a reading direction in which the reading device reads the document placed on the document table, the communication line being fixed to the rail. The transport mechanism transports the reading device along the rail, thereby transporting the reading device along a reading route through which the reading device reads the document placed on the document table. The transport mechanism electrically connects the reading device to the communication line.

    Abstract: A playing card scanner apparatus for helping the visually impaired play card games includes a housing having a transparent housing top side dimensioned to be larger than a standard playing card. A scanner, a central processing unit (CPU), and a rechargeable battery are coupled within the housing. A charging port is coupled to the housing and is in operational communication with the rechargeable battery. A speaker port is coupled to the housing and is in operational communication with the CPU to receive an earpiece or headphone. A scan button is coupled to the housing to activate the scanner and produce a reading of the number and suit of the standard playing card through the speaker port.

    Abstract: A management device capable of communicating with a device to be managed that performs a task includes a storage that stores a task list used to manage the task, and a controller. The controller acquires the task to be performed in the device to be managed and information regarding the device to be managed, generates a task group in a case that no task group is present to which the acquired task belongs, and registers the acquired task in the task list in a case that a task group is present to which the acquired task belongs, and the task for the device to be managed is not present in the task group.

    Abstract: An image reading apparatus includes a transparent member, a casing, a reading unit and a supporting member supporting the reading unit inside the case and movable along the transparent member inside the casing. A flat cable includes a first end portion connected to a connecting portion provided on the reading unit and a second end portion connected to another substrate other than the reading unit, is curved in a direction toward a bottom surface of the casing from the transparent member and is laid along the bottom surface. The supporting member includes a holding portion to hold the flat cable so that the flat cable is along the transparent member. In a direction perpendicular to the transparent member, a distance between the holding portion and the transparent member is shorter than a distance between the connecting portion and the transparent member.

    Abstract: A transport apparatus includes a transport device, an abutment member, and a displacement device. The transport device transports a sheet in a first direction, corresponding to a sheet transport direction. The abutment member is located on one side of the transport device, in a second direction intersecting the first direction, to be abutted against a side of the sheet on the one side in the second direction. The displacement device displaces the sheet toward the one side in the second direction, in contact with the sheet.
