A rapid reaction hood system includes at least one linear conveyor and a hood attached to the at least one conveyor and including a slot configured to collect dust emissions. The rapid reaction hood system also includes at least one proximity sensor positioned on the hood and configured to detect a distance from the hood to a roll of material. The conveyor is configured to move the hood linearly in response to a detection by the at least one proximity sensor.

A paper sheet storage device includes a supply reel that supplies a rolled tape; a winding drum around which a banknote is wound together with the tape supplied from the supply reel; a first detection unit that detects a supply amount of the tape supplied from the supply reel; and a second detection unit that detects the winding drum of which the outer diameter becomes equal to or larger than a predetermined outer diameter when the banknote is wound around the winding drum together with the tape.

A conveying apparatus includes: a conveyor configured to convey a web while unwinding the web from a web roll; a brake configured to apply brakes to rotation of the web roll; and a controller configured to perform control to unwind the web from the web roll and convey the web with the conveyor while giving tension to the web by applying brakes to the rotation of the web roll using torque of the brake. The controller is configured to determine the torque of the brake during deceleration of the web to be a value depending on an inertial load of the web roll.

A converting line for coreless roll products includes a rewinding machine and a controller. A log of convolutely wound web material is wound in the rewinding machine during a wind cycle. A diameter of the log, a caliper of the web material, and an amount of tension of the web is determined at a plurality of time points during a time period of the winding cycle. The controller is enabled to generate a signal to change an operating condition of the converting line based upon at least one of a diameter determination at a time point during the wind cycle, a caliper determination at a time point during the wind cycle, a wound web amount determination at a time point during the wind cycle, and a tension determination at a time point during the wind cycle.

A printer includes: a holding member configured to hold a roll of paper; an elastic member configured to support the holding member so that the holding member is slidable in a vertical direction; a first detection unit configured to detect a position of the holding member; and a second detection unit that detects a near-end of the roll of paper based on a detection result by the first detection unit.

A printer includes a printer body and a lid. The printer body includes a recording paper holder configured to accommodate a roll of recording paper and a projection provided on a bottom surface of the recording paper holder that contacts the recording paper. The lid is attached to the printer body to be opened and closed relative to the printer body.
