The present invention relates generally to the field of fishing drag scales. More specifically, the present invention relates to a fishing reel drag set device that is comprised of a body, an upper and lower housing, two eyelets and a power supply. The device may be adjustable or non-adjustable (i.e., static), wherein the adjustable version allots the user multiple tension settings for the line and the static version has only one tension setting. Other visual and audible elements such as colored LEDs, a speaker relay and visual and audio indicators are provided to help identify if the drag in the fishing line is too heavy or too light. Accordingly, the device can be applied to any fishing rod and fishing line to aid a fisherman in using a desired drag setting when attempting to catch a fish.

A medium processing apparatus includes a housing, a binder, first and second sensors, and circuitry. The housing has a space in a part. The binder is disposed in the space to perform a binding operation on a sheet bundle. The first sensor is in the space to detect a first side of the sheet bundle in a first direction, and output a first detection signal. The second sensor is adjacent to the first sensor in the space to detect a second side of the sheet bundle adjacent to the first side in a second direction, and output a second detection signal. The circuitry is to input the first and second detection signals, output a notification that the binding operation is executable by the binder, and cause the binder to perform the binding operation in response to receiving an instruction to start the binding operation.

An end edge detector and method for sensing and indicating an end edge along a roll of material. A sensor retained by a housing detects the end edge and triggers an output signal indicative thereof. The sensor can be formed by a light source for producing an illuminated area on the roll of material in combination with a light radiation detector. Light received by the radiation detector is processed to produce an electronic control signal, and an output signal is triggered when the light received reaches a predetermined threshold electronic control signal indicative of light scattering by the end edge. Alternatively, the sensor can comprise a probe with a tip that extends from the housing for traveling along the surface of the roll of material. Deflection of the probe by contact with the end edge trips an electrical contact switch and triggers the output signal.
