Abstract: In order to obtain a cold rolled steel sheet having excellent press formability, a cold rolled steel sheet has, on a surface thereof, an organic-inorganic composite film containing: an organic resin; and a crystalline layered material. The organic-inorganic composite film has an average film thickness of 0.10 to 2.0 ?m and contains 0.5 part or more by weight of the crystalline layered material as a solid with respect to 100 parts by weight of a solid of the organic resin. The crystalline layered material preferably is, for example, a layered double hydroxide represented by [M2+1-xM3+x(OH)2] [An?]x/n.zH2O, where: M2+ is one or more of Mg2+, Ca2+, Fe2+, Ni2+, and Zn2+; M3+ is one or more of Al3+, Fe3+, and Cr3+; and An? is one or more of OH?, CO32 , Cl?, and (SO4) 2?.

Abstract: In order to obtain a cold rolled steel sheet having excellent press formability, a cold rolled steel sheet has an inorganic film containing a crystalline layered material having an average film thickness of 10 nm to 2000 nm on a surface thereof. The crystalline layered material preferably is, for example, a layered double hydroxide represented by [M2+1?XM3+X(OH)2][An?]x/n.zH2O, where: M2+ is one or more of Mg2+, Ca2+, Fe2+, Ni2+, and Zn2+; M3+ is one or more of Al3+, Fe3+, and Cr3+; and An? is one or more of OH?, CO32?, Cl?, and (SO4)2?.

Abstract: The present invention provides a paper sheet recognizing apparatus for recognizing paper sheets having different sizes and colors for each type, by using a sensing unit including a line sensor that detects a light quantity of reflected light or transmitted light obtained by irradiating a paper sheet being transported with a plurality of lights having different source wavelengths. The apparatus includes a storing unit that stores therein reference size data and reference light quantity data generated beforehand for each type of paper sheets to be recognition candidates; a first determining unit that selects a recognition target type from the recognition candidates based on detected size data of the paper sheet detected by the sensing unit and the reference size data; and a second determining unit that determines a type of the paper sheet by comparing detected light quantity data of the paper sheet detected by the line sensor with the reference light quantity data of the recognition target type.

Abstract: A banknote sorting and bundling apparatus (1) includes a banknote processing device (2) including a stacker (16), and a banknote bundling device (3) including a bundling unit (22) and a bundling-side stacking unit (21). The apparatus (1) further includes a banknote transport unit (13) that transports a banknote deposited in a hopper unit (11) through a banknote transport path (18) including a first transport path (18A), a second transport path (18B), and a third transport path (18C), a diverting unit (13A) for diverting the banknote being transported through the banknote transport path (18) to the stacker (16) or the bundling-side stacking unit (21), and a post-bundling transport unit (26) for dispensing a bundle of banknotes bundled by the bundling unit (22) to a bundle dispensing outlet (23) provided near the hopper unit (11).
