  • Patent number: 8246036
    Abstract: A paper sheet handling machine 1 comprises a casing 92 and at least two stacking units 30, 40 provided in the casing 92. Each stacking unit 30, 40 is configured to stack therein paper sheets respectively taken in the casing 92 by a take-in unit 10. From among the paper sheets transported by a transport unit 20, the paper sheets, each judged to be stored in the stacking unit 30 or 40 by a recognition unit 28, are diverted from the transport unit 20 and fed into the stacking unit 30 or 40, by each diverter 60, 62. A reject unit 50 is connected with the transport unit 20 on the downstream side of the diverters 60, 62. To the reject unit 50, the paper sheets that are not diverted from the transport unit 20 by the respective diverters 60, 62 are fed.

  • Patent number: 8056903
    Abstract: In a rod sealing system, which comprises a buffer ring, a rod seal, and a dust seal, provided successively in this order from a fluid hydraulic side toward the outside in an annular clearance between two members in reciprocating motion, the buffer ring is made up of a thermoplastic polyurethane molding product obtained by subjecting a thermoplastic polyurethane molding product prepared by reaction of (A) a high molecular weight polycarbonatediol having a number average molecular weight Mn of 500-6,000, (B) an aromatic diisocyanate, and (C) a low molecular weight diol as a chain elongation agent in an NCO/OH ratio of 0.95-1.20, to heat treatment under conditions that a glass transition point (Tg) of hard phases becomes 170° C. or higher, preferably 170-230° C., and an endothermic peak area (?H) at Tg becomes 5 J/g or more, by differential scanning calorimetry.
