Abstract: A magnetic property determination apparatus that detects a magnetic property of each magnetic material included in a paper sheet transported through a transport path and determines the magnetic materials. The magnetic property determination apparatus includes a magnetic detection unit that generates on the transport path a bias magnetic field having a magnetic field direction inclined to a transport surface of the paper sheet by a specific angle and detects the magnetic charge of the magnetic materials by detecting variation of the bias magnetic field; and a magnetization unit that is arranged upstream of the magnetic detection unit in the transport direction and magnetizes the magnetic materials by generating on the transport path a magnetization magnetic field having a magnetic field direction oriented in a direction different from the direction of the bias magnetic field. At a position at which the magnetic detection unit detects the magnetism, the magnetic materials are in a state in which the magnetic materials are magnetized in mutually different magnetization directions according to coercive force thereof.

Abstract: An optical sensor of the present disclosure detects light reflected by a transported sheet and/or light transmitted through the sheet as well as light emitted from the sheet. The optical sensor includes: a light source configured to irradiate a sheet with excitation light and detection light; a controller configured to keep the light source turned off during each of light-off periods after the emission of the excitation light; and a light receiver configured to receive light resulting from reflection of the detection light by a sheet and/or light resulting from transmission of the detection light through the sheet in each of the light-on periods and receive phosphorescence emitted from the sheet in each of the light-off periods. The controller is configured to generate data of one pixel by summing up output values based on respective phosphorescence components received by the light receiver in each of the light-off periods.
