  • Publication number: 20240353337
    Abstract: [Problem to be solved] An object of the present invention is to provide a Raman spectroscopy analysis method that identifies the number of irradiation times of laser light at which a sample to be analyzed is damaged by the laser light during multiple Raman spectroscopy measurements and performs structural analysis of the sample to be analyzed using data on Raman scattering light obtained when the sample to be analyzed is in an undamaged state.

  • Patent number: 12098049
    Abstract: A medium processing apparatus includes a conveyor, a tray, a binder, a mover, and a switcher. The switcher includes a first passage, a second passage, and a movable wall. The movable wall guides a guided portion of the binder to the second passage when the guided portion moving along the first passage from an end side to a center side contacts the movable wall; causes the guided portion to pass when the guided portion moving along the second passage from the end side to the center side contacts the movable wall; guides the guided portion to the first passage when the guided portion moving along the second passage from the center side to the end side contacts the movable wall; and causes the guided portion to pass when the guided portion moving along the first passage from the center side to the end side contacts the movable wall.

  • Publication number: 20240300771
    Abstract: A medium processing apparatus for processing a medium ejected from an image forming apparatus includes a conveyor, a slit, a medium processing device, a stopper, and detectors. The conveyor conveys the medium ejected from the image forming apparatus. The slit communicates with an opening of a housing into which a medium is manually inserted from outside and includes a placement face on which the inserted medium is placed. The placement face has a first side and a second side orthogonal to the first side. The first and second sides are not parallel to a direction in which a side face of the housing extends. The medium processing device processes the medium conveyed by the conveyor or the medium placed on the slit. The stopper regulates edges of the medium along the first and second sides of the placement face. The detectors are disposed on the stopper to detect the medium.

  • Publication number: 20240294351
    Abstract: A liquid application device for applying liquid to a plurality of media to be crimped by a crimping device includes a liquid applier and a liquid-applier moving mechanism. The liquid applier applies liquid to the plurality of media. The liquid-applier moving mechanism moves the liquid applier to a first position at which the liquid applier applies liquid to a medium on a conveyance path in the liquid application device and a second position at which the liquid applier applies liquid to the plurality of media inserted through a liquid application slit of the liquid application device.

  • Publication number: 20240253923
    Abstract: A sheet processing device includes an upstream device, a downstream device, and a controller as circuitry. The upstream device includes multiple rollers to convey a sheet in a conveyance direction and perform a sheet processing. The downstream device is downstream from the upstream device in the conveyance direction. The downstream device includes a sheet sensor to detect the sheet. The controller controls a timing to rotate the multiple rollers of the upstream device to perform the sheet processing in response to a detection of the sheet by the sheet sensor.

  • Publication number: 20240246787
    Abstract: A sheet folder includes a conveyor conveying a sheet, a first folding roller and a second folding roller that form a first nip, a third folding roller forming a second nip with the second folding roller, a first guide movable between a first guide posture and a first retracted posture, a second guide movable between a second guide posture and a second retracted posture, and a motor. The motor rotates the second folding roller forward to convey the sheet toward the first nip, reverse to convey the sheet toward the second nip, moves the first guide to arrange in the first guide in the first guide posture or the first retracted posture, and moves the second guide to arrange the second guide in the second guide posture or the second retracted posture.

  • Publication number: 20240182258
    Abstract: A sheet folding apparatus includes a conveyor, a first folding roller, a second folding roller, a third folding roller, a guide, a motor, and a driving force transmission mechanism. The motor causes the second folding roller to perform either forward rotation in which the second folding roller rotates to convey a sheet on a main conveying path in a conveying direction and to convey the sheet on a reflux conveying path from a joining position toward a branching position or backward rotation in a direction opposite to the forward rotation. The driving force transmission mechanism rotates the guide toward a first posture from a second posture in conjunction with the forward rotation of the second folding roller and rotates the guide from the first posture toward the second posture in conjunction with the backward rotation of the second folding roller.
