摘要:
A stiffness detector (10) includes a bending portion (4) configured to bend a paper sheet (7) to be carried. The stiffness detector transmits acoustic waves to an incidence point on an inner surface of the paper sheet which is bent by the bending portion and is carried, thereby exciting Lamb waves. The stiffness detector receives leaky waves of the Lamb waves emitted from a detection point on the inner surface of the paper sheet. The stiffness detector specifies a maximum crest value based on the received signals, and judges whether the paper sheet is an unimpaired sheet based on the specified maximum crest value.

According to one embodiment, there is provided a fluorescence and afterglow detection device to detect fluorescence and afterglow on a sheet printed with fluorescent ink and phosphorescent ink while the sheet is being conveyed, including: a first illuminator (21) to irradiate the sheet (1) that is being conveyed, with excitation light; a fluorescence detector (28) to detect fluorescence in an irradiation range of the first illuminator (21); an afterglow detector (29) to detect afterglow outside the irradiation range of the first illuminator (21), downstream of the fluorescence detector (28) in the conveying direction; an operation controller (41) to perform control to switch a conveying speed of the sheet (1); and a second illuminator (22) that is provided between a reading range of the afterglow detector (29) and a reading range of the fluorescence detector (28), to irradiate the sheet (1) with excitation light in a case where the conveying speed of the sheet (1) set by the operation controller (41) is not greater than a preset speed.

According to one embodiment, an image reading apparatus includes an illumination unit (21) to irradiate a surface of a sheet (1) with light from an oblique direction at a predetermined angle of incidence (α), a reading unit (24) to receive light reflected from a reading range on the sheet (1) and to acquire a sheet image, and a reflecting mirror (22, 25) that is disposed in a direction of an angle of emission (α) that is equal to the angle of incidence (α), that has a specular surface that is parallel to the reading range (D), and that reflects light reflected from the sheet (1) toward the reading range (D) with the specular surface.
