Abstract: A sheet cutter is operable by one hand for maintaining a sheet on a placing table and by other hand for cutting the sheet to ensure safety of finger of the one hand. The sheet cutter includes a pressing operating member adapted to be depressed from a non-pressing position to a pressing position for maintaining the sheet on the placing table against a biasing force of a spring, and a cutting operating member for travelling a cutter unit between one end and another end of the placing table, wherein the pressing operating member and the cutting operating member are arranged at different positions with a certain interval to set their operating directions orthogonal to each other. Accordingly, a sheet on the placing table can be cut by operating the cutting operating member horizontally with the other hand while operating the pressing operating member vertically with the one hand.

Abstract: A sorting device has sensors, a plurality of a feature extracting unit, a feature searching unit, a determining unit and a sorting unit. The sensors detect physical quantities of an object. The feature extracting unit extracts values of a plurality of types of feature values from the physical quantities detected. The feature searching unit specifies identification information of the object based on values of various feature values extracted with reference to a feature database which associates and stores the values of the various feature values and the identification information of the object in advance. The determining unit determines sorting information of the object based on the identification information of the object specified with reference to a sorting database which associates and stores the identification information of the object and the sorting information in advance. The sorting unit sorts the object based on the sorting information determined.

Abstract: A trimming apparatus trims by cutter blades running from one end of a sheet bundle to the other end thereof, includes a bed surface for the sheet bundle, cutter blades for cutting the sheet bundle supported on the bed surface, a drive device for running the cutting blades from one end of the sheet bundle to the other end thereof, a support member having a support face, and a shift device for moving the support member between a working position for the support member supporting cut sheet dust pieces and a retreating position not to hinder the cut sheet dust pieces from dropping. The shift device displaces the support face from the working position to a retreating position after the cutter blades move at a predetermined distance toward the other end of the sheet bundle from one end thereof.

Abstract: A delivery sorting processing system of an embodiment recognizes recognizable semantic information from an image of a delivery, extracts a candidate for a delivery destination area from the semantic information, and determines priority according to a possibility of being relevant to a candidate for a delivery destination area of the delivery. The system determined a delivery destination of a delivery based on information included in a candidate for a delivery destination area selected by an operator's operation and stores the candidate for a delivery destination area determined to have the high priority and a candidate for a delivery destination area selected by the operator's operation in association with each other in a storage section, in a case where a predetermined condition is not satisfied. The system determines whether there is a match between the candidate for a delivery destination area determined to have high priority.
