Abstract: A money processing device includes at least one money container that contains money; a controller operable to control a process on the money container; and a storage. The storage stores a condition for deciding which of a plurality of check processes to be performed, wherein the plurality of check processes include: a quick check process in which the money in the at least one money container is not counted when an event in which an amount of money held in the at least one money container may become indefinite has not occurred; and a general check process in which the money in the at least one money container is counted regardless of the presence or absence of an occurrence of the event. The controller executes one of the quick check process and the general check process based on the condition stored in the storage.

Abstract: The present invention provides an artificial leather including an entangled fiber mass of ultrafine fibers having a monofilament fineness of 0.01 dtex or more and 0.50 dtex or less and a polymeric elastomer; wherein at least one surface is napped; the cross-sectional profile curve of the napped surface has an arithmetic mean height Pa of 26 ?m or more and 100 ?m or less; the arithmetic mean height Pa of the cross-sectional profile curve of the opposite surface is 20% or more and 80% or less of the cross-sectional roughness Pa of the napped side; the existence frequency of asperity peaks found in the cross-sectional profile curve of the napped surface is 1.8 or more and 20 or less per 1.0 mm; and a woven or knitted fabric lamination is present near the opposite surface at a depth position of 10% or more and 50% or less.

Abstract: A mixed fiber nonwoven fabric comprising at least two types of fibers, namely, fibers of polyolefin based resin component A and fibers of polyolefin based resin component B, a fiber group containing fibers of polyolefin based resin component A being referred to as first fiber group, the first fiber group having a number average fiber diameter of 0.3 ?m to 7.0 ?m, part of the fibers of polyolefin based resin component B that have a fiber diameter in the range of 15 ?m to 100 ?m and not less than 5 times the number average fiber diameter of the first fiber group being referred to as second fiber group, the fibers of the second fiber group maintaining a form of fibers and existing in the cross section of the mixed fiber nonwoven fabric at a rate of 7.0 fibers or more per millimeter of the cross-sectional length, the melting point of polyolefin based resin component B being lower by 5° C. to 40° C.

Abstract: Provided are a mixed-fiber nonwoven fabric suitable for air filters and a filter medium using the mixed-fiber nonwoven fabric. The nonwoven fabric includes at least two types of fibers having different melting points, which fibers are low melting point fibers made of a polyolefin resin component A, and high melting point fibers made of a high melting point resin component B having a higher melting point than that of the polyolefin resin component A. The number average fiber diameter of the high melting point fibers is larger than that of the low melting point fibers. At least one high melting point fiber having a fiber diameter of 20 ?m to 100 ?m is present per 1.00 mm of the length of the cross section of the nonwoven fabric. The number average fiber diameter of all fibers constituting the nonwoven fabric falls within the range of 0.3 ?m to 10 ?m.

Abstract: A nonwoven fabric includes mixed fibers having different fiber diameters. A group of fibers having a fiber diameter of 5.0 ?m or less (fiber group A) is present at a volume fraction of 20 to 80 vol %, a group of fibers having a fiber diameter of 50.0 ?m or more (fiber group B) is present at a volume fraction of 1 to 40 vol %, and a group of fibers having a fiber diameter of more than 5.0 ?m and less than 50.0 ?m (fiber group C) is present at a volume fraction of 0 to 79 vol %. The ratio of the median fiber diameter (B?) of fiber group B to the median fiber diameter (A?) of fiber group A (B?/A?) is 35 or more.
