  • Patent number: 11022925
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a post-processing apparatus includes a first sensor, a second sensor, and a control unit. The first sensor detects an object in a predetermined area in which a predetermined post-process is performed on a sheet conveyed from an image forming apparatus. The second sensor detects an object at a position closer to an opening in the area than the position of the first sensor with respect to the opening through which the sheet passes when the post-processed sheet is discharged from the area. When the second sensor detects an object before the first sensor detects the object, the control unit performs a predetermined process for preventing the occurrence of a failure.

  • Publication number: 20170051241
    Abstract: A culture container includes a container main body and a filmlike member. The container main body has a recessed part and a bottom part 17 in which a plurality of microwells for containing a cell-culture solution is formed. The filmlike member is a member that is disposed above the plurality of microwells inside the recessed part and limits the movement of each spheroid that has grown inside its corresponding microwell such that the spheroid does not separate from the corresponding microwell. Thus, spheroids can be stably formed in the culture container.

  • Patent number: 9045307
    Abstract: According to an embodiment, a first discharging unit and a second discharging unit discharge a sheet. A first conveying path extends from a scanning unit to the first discharging unit. A second conveying path branches off from the first conveying path at a branch point of the first conveying path and extends to the second discharging unit. A conveying member discharges the sheet to the first discharging unit when a discharging destination of the sheet is the first discharging unit, and the conveying member makes part of the sheet project from the first conveying path to the first discharging unit, locates an upstream tip end of the sheet in a sheet conveying direction, at a position downstream in the sheet conveying direction from the branch point, and conveys the sheet to switchback to the second conveying path, when the discharging destination of the sheet is the second discharging unit.

  • Patent number: 9041753
    Abstract: A sheet discharging device includes a first conveying path that guides a sheet to be conveyed. A second conveying path branches from the first conveying path. A sorting section sorts a sheet being conveyed on the first conveying path into either a downstream side of the branch point or the second conveying path. A first discharge tray is placed at a position downstream of the first conveying path and receives a sheet discharged from the first conveying path at a first sheet loading surface. A second discharge tray is placed at a position downstream of the second conveying path and below the first discharge tray, and receives a sheet discharged from the second conveying path at a second sheet loading surface whose distance to the first sheet loading surface increases toward a downstream side thereof in a sheet discharging direction.
