  • Patent number: 11981525
    Abstract: A sheet processing device sandwiches a sheet-shaped medium in a two-ply sheet in which two sheets are overlaid and partially bonded. The sheet processing device includes a separator, a conveyor, and a switching member. The separator separates the two sheets of the two-ply sheet. The conveyor is disposed downstream from the separator in a sheet conveyance direction and conveys the two-ply sheet. The switching member is disposed downstream from the conveyor in the sheet conveyance direction.

  • Patent number: 11978211
    Abstract: A phase image is formed by calculation from a hologram image of a cell, and segmentation is performed for each pixel for the phase image using a fully convolution neural network to identify an undifferentiated cell region, a deviated cell region, a foreign substance region, and the like. When learning, when a learning image included in a mini-batch is read, the image is randomly inverted vertically or horizontally and then is rotated by a random angle. A part that has been lost within the frame by the pre-rotation image is compensated for by a mirror-image inversion with an edge of a post-rotation image as an axis thereof. Learning of a fully convolution neural network is performed using the generated learning image. The same processing is repeated for all mini-batches, and the learning is repeated by a predetermined number of times while shuffling the training data allocated to the mini-batch. The precision of the learning model is thus improved.
