Abstract: A sheet stacker includes a lifting mechanism, a tray, a conveyor, processing circuitry, an upper-limit sensor, a lift pause sensor, a lower-limit sensor, and a lowering pause sensor. The tray stacks multiple sheets. The conveyor above the tray conveys a sheet. The processing circuitry controls, via the lifting mechanism, a height position of the tray. The upper-limit sensor detects that an uppermost sheet of the sheets has reached an upper-limit position. The lift pause sensor detects that the uppermost sheet has reached a lift pause position lower than the upper-limit position. The lower-limit sensor detects that the tray has reached a lower-limit position. The lowering pause sensor detects that the tray has reached a lowering pause position higher than the lower-limit position. The upper-limit sensor, the lift pause sensor, the lower-limit sensor, and the lowering pause sensor are disposed in a space in which the tray is lifted and lowered.

Abstract: A method for learning and applying a similarity measure between geophysical objects is provided. Similarity measures may be used for a variety of geophysics applications, including inverse problems. For example, an inverse problem may seek to minimize or maximize an associated objective function, which summarizes the degree of similarity between observed data and simulated data. However, when comparing between two or more geophysical objects in the context of the inverse problem, it is difficult to determine whether the observed difference between the two or more geophysical objects is due to noise or intrinsic dissimilarity between the objects. In this regard, an application-specific similarity measure, which may be tailored to the specific application, such as the specific inverse problem, may be generated and applied in order to better solve the inverse problem.
