    Abstract: A paper sheet conveying apparatus includes: a conveying path in which a paper sheet is conveyed; a plurality of conveying rollers; a plurality of driving motors; an out-of-step detection portion; a stop control portion; and a driving restart control portion. The plurality of conveying rollers are disposed along the conveying path. The plurality of driving motors rotates the conveying rollers. The out-of-step detection portion detects an out-of-step in each of the driving motors. The stop control portion stops each of the driving motors when an out-of-step is detected. The driving restart control portion drives, after each of the driving motors is stopped, a first driving motor in which an out-of-step has occurred, and a second driving motor in which no out-of-step occurs, under a driving start condition that an amount of rotation of the second driving motor is less than an amount of rotation of the first driving motor.

    Abstract: The hole punching device includes rotary-to-reciprocating motion converters that convert rotational motion of a punch shaft connected to a punch motor into up-and-down motion of punch blades, and a short circuiting switch that short-circuits between terminals of the punch motor. The hole punching device further includes a braking current detector that detects braking current flowing through inter-terminal resistance of the punch motor, a braking current comparison unit that turns on the short circuiting switch once and compares a detected braking-current value detected by the braking current detector with a preset reference braking-current value, and a brake time determination unit that determines the time to turn on the short circuiting switch to apply a short circuit brake based on the comparison result obtained by the braking current comparison unit.

    Abstract: A sheet conveying portion conveys a sheet along a conveyance path by a conveyance amount corresponding to a number of pulses in a pulse signal supplied to the sheet conveying portion. A punching portion makes a punch hole in the sheet. The supplied pulse number counting portion counts the number of pulses supplied to the sheet conveying portion while a predetermined part of the sheet moves from a first position to a second position on the conveyance path. A required pulse number calculating portion calculates the number of pulses required for a punch target position on the sheet to move to a punching position on the conveyance path, based on the counted number of supplied pulses and an interval between the first position and the second position. A conveyance control portion supplies a pulse signal to the sheet conveying portion, based on the calculated required number of pulses.

    Abstract: Provided is a touch panel apparatus capable of easily setting a touch sense produced by oscillatory waves of plural piezoelectric elements according to a user's taste. To this end, a touch sense pattern table (51) stores a plurality of touch sense pattern values made up of plural parameter values of a voltage table (52), plural parameter values of a frequency table (53), and plural parameter values of a phase difference table (54). A vibration diving control part (18) applies a driving signal to the piezoelectric elements of first to third groups to vibrate the touch panel (12) based on the parameter values acquired from the voltage table (52), the parameter values acquired from the frequency table (53), and the parameter values acquired from the phase difference table (54), correspondingly to the plurality of the touch sense patterns stored in the touch sense pattern table 51.

    Abstract: A post-processing apparatus includes a blade, a transfer mechanism, a sheet folding roller pair, a motor, a drive control device, and a control device. The blade presses into the sheet to form a fold line in the sheet. The transfer mechanism moves the blade toward and away from the sheet. The sheet folding roller pair conveys the sheet with the fold line formed by the blade by pinching the sheet at a nip between the sheet folding roller pair. The motor rotatively drives the sheet folding roller pair. The drive control device controls drive of the motor. The control includes a control circuit. When, through the processor executing a control program, the control device controls the transfer mechanism to withdraw from the nip the blade having been pressed into the sheet and the nip by the transfer mechanism, the control device controls the drive control device to stop the motor.

    Abstract: A sheet processing system includes a drive portion and a supply processing portion. The drive portion is provided in a post-processing apparatus configured to execute predetermined post-processing on a sheet conveyed from an image forming apparatus configured to form an image on the sheet, and generates a driving force to be transmitted to a constituent member of the post-processing apparatus in response to supply of a current. The supply processing portion supplies a current to the drive portion from arrival of a predetermined specific timing outside an execution period of output processing for outputting the sheet after image formation using the image forming apparatus and the post-processing apparatus until start of the output processing.
