Abstract: An actuator capable of attaining high output. The actuator includes a frame structure part that forms a frame structure surrounding a housing part, and a volume change part housed in the housing part. The volume change part increases a volume thereof by input of external energy. The frame structure part has a higher Young's modulus than a Young's modulus of the volume change part. The housing part has an anisotropic shape, with a maximum width in first direction of the housing part longer than a maximum width in second direction different from the first direction of the housing part.

Abstract: The invention provides a fluoroelastomer composition that can be crosslinked at an industrially sufficient rate without the use of a graphene having specific surface properties and can provide a fluoroelastomer molded article having higher tensile strength and better abrasion resistance than conventional fluoroelastomer molded articles even though having a similar tensile modulus to conventional fluoroelastomer molded articles. The fluoroelastomer composition contains a fluoroelastomer that contains a crosslinkable group-containing monomer unit and an elongated sheet-shaped graphene. The graphene exhibits a ratio (L/W) of a maximum length (L) and a width (W) of 2 to 105, and the graphene exhibits a ratio (L/T) of the maximum length (L) and a thickness (T) of 1×101 to 1×107.

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to achieve increase in feed-out speed while having a freedom of selecting stacked objects from a wide range of objects by securing a stable separating and feed-out function of feeding out stacked objects one by one from a surface thereof. A stacked object feed-out apparatus A1 separates and feeds out the stacked paper sheets P from a paper sheet at a surface position to a business machine 9, the stacked paper sheets P stacked on a paper sheet housing member 1.

Abstract: A bundle processing apparatus includes a receiving conveyor for receiving a plurality of bundles, each bundle including a number of packs and each pack including a plurality of paper sheets, a removing conveyor for removing bundles from the receiving conveyor, a counter for counting the number of packs included in each bundle removed by the removing conveyor, a length detector for detecting the length of each bundle, a stacking device for stacking a bundle when the number of packs counted by the counter is equal to a predetermined number and the length detected by the length detector is equal to a predetermined length, a device for rejecting a bundle when the number of packs counted by the counter is not equal to the predetermined number or the length detected by the detector is not equal to the predetermined length, and a storage device having a storage box for storing the stacked bundles.

Abstract: Uninspected bundles of paper sheets are supplied to each of a plurality of pre-processors in units of bundles. Each pre-processor removes a band from the uninspected bundle, prints a serial number in association with the received paper sheets on the band, and holds the band. A number of reusable paper sheets from which the band is removed are counted by and stored in a corresponding inspection device. Each inspection device stores the serial number printed on the band by the preprocessor. In each inspection device, the paper sheets to be re-inspected are sorted by a separator card in units of bundles and stored as rejectable notes in a rejectable note cassette. A center console receives data such as a count result, band number, cassette number, card number, and the like, from each inspection device, and sequentially stores these data in units of inspection devices.
