  • Publication number: 20250082209
    Abstract: A biological information measurement device includes a pulse acquisition mechanism configured to detect a pulse of a human body, a pulse interval calculation mechanism configured to calculate, based on the pulse, a pulse interval between one beat and a beat immediately before the one beat, and a display mechanism configured to display a level indicator visually indicating at least one of the pulse interval or an amount of change from another pulse interval immediately before the pulse interval. The level indicator indicates, per beat of the pulse detected, the pulse interval or the amount of change.

  • Patent number: 12139360
    Abstract: A postprocessing device includes a processing tray, a first transport roller, a second transport roller, a sidetrack, a sidetrack roller, and a controller. The controller shunts a preceding recording medium to the sidetrack by rotating the sidetrack roller, determines, on a basis of a length of the preceding recording medium in a transport direction, a timing to stop the rotation of the sidetrack roller such that, when the sidetrack roller is made to start rotating at a predetermined timing to start, a leading edge of a following recording medium transported by the second transport roller becomes aligned with a leading edge of the preceding recording medium, stops the rotation of the sidetrack roller at the determined timing, and transports the preceding recording medium with the following recording medium stacked thereon, to the processing tray, by rotating the second transport roller and the sidetrack roller at the reference timing to start.

  • Publication number: 20240228217
    Abstract: A sheet post-processing device includes a conveying member, a processing tray, a processing section, a reference plate, an alignment member, and a frame. The processing tray stacks sheets carried in by the conveying member. The alignment member moves the sheet carried in onto the processing tray in an alignment direction so as to aid alignment of the sheets. The alignment member includes a roller holder, an alignment roller, and a guide member. The guide member has a sheet guide part protruding from a swinging end of the roller holder to the downstream side in the alignment direction than the alignment roller. When the number of the sheets placed on the processing tray varies, an angle of the guide member with respect to the roller holder varies so that a distance between a top sheet placed on the processing tray and the sheet guide part becomes substantially constant.
