An image forming apparatus includes an image forming unit to form an image on a sheet, an intermediate processing tray where sheets conveyed through a first conveyance path are stacked as a sheet bundle, a sensor disposed at a second conveyance path to detect a conveyed sheet bundle, and a stacking tray in which sheets discharged through a discharging path diverging from the first conveyance path are stacked. In response to a sensor detected paper jam, a control unit determines the intermediate processing tray as the discharging destination for a sheet among the remaining sheets, and determines the stacking tray as the discharging destination for a sheet among the remaining sheets. After the paper jam is cleared, the control unit causes execution of bookbinding and cutting for a sheet bundle including the remaining sheets stacked in the intermediate processing tray.

The invention further relates to a yarn storage system (1000) comprising a plurality of containers (101), to a textile production assembly (2000) and to methods of producing yarn (200) and textiles.

A control unit of a paper processing apparatus controls a driving unit such that pressing by a pressing member is released after an end portion of a paper bundle pressed by the pressing member is cut by a cutting blade, and controls, when determining that a front end portion of a removal member does not reach the pressing member at a position of the pressing member in a state in which the pressing by the pressing member has been released, the driving unit to move the pressing member to a position at which the front end portion of the removal member reaches the pressing member after the paper bundle is taken out.

An image forming apparatus has an image forming unit, a punch mechanism, a display unit, a hole formation request receiving unit, a demand input receiving unit, a region designating unit, an extraction unit, a selection unit, and a punch mechanism control unit. The demand input receiving unit receives an input of a demand about punch hole formation from a user. The region designating unit designates a region in which a punch hole is to be formed by the punch mechanism through the display unit. The extraction unit extracts punch hole formation portion candidates having a printing rate lower than a predetermined value in the designated region. The selection unit causes a user to select the hole formation portion satisfying the demand. The punch mechanism control unit performs control so that the punch hole formation by the punch mechanism is carried out in the selected hole formation portion.

A yarn storage container for storing a yarn, said storage container (101) comprising a, preferably tubular, container (101), having an axial length (L), a, preferably tubular, wall (501) and a first and second axial extremity (113-115), the first axial extremity (113) of said container (101) having an opening (123) for receiving an end of a yarn (200), said second axial extremity (115) of said container (101) being air-permeably closed, said wall (501) is air permeable by means of a plurality of openings (521-523) present along the axial length of said container (101). The invention further relates to a yarn storage system (1000) comprising a plurality of containers (101), to a textile production assembly (2000) and to methods of producing yarn (200) and textiles.

A medium processing device includes: a conveying portion configured to convey a medium along a conveyance path; and a medium processing portion. The conveyance path includes: an upstream path; a downstream path; and a merging path including a processing position. The conveying portion includes a first roller pair arranged on the downstream path and a second roller arranged on the merging path. The first roller pair is configured to be set to a nip state during execution of a conveying operation to convey the medium from the merging path toward the downstream path. The first roller pair is configured to be set to a nip release state during execution of a medium processing operation while the medium is positioned at a nip position of the first roller pair.

A yarn storage container for storing a yarn, said storage container (101) comprising a, preferably tubular, container (101), having an axial length (L), a, preferably tubular, wall (501) and a first and second axial extremity (113-115), the first axial extremity (113) of said container (101) having an opening (123) for receiving an end of a yarn (200), said second axial extremity (115) of said container (101) being air-permeably closed, said wall (501) is air permeable by means of a plurality of openings (521-523) present along the axial length of said container (101). The invention further relates to a yarn storage system (1000) comprising a plurality of containers (101), to a textile production assembly (2000) and to methods of producing yarn (200) and textiles.

A sheet product package and method of making discrete plastic sheets includes a package enclosure with a dispensing opening structure and a plurality of discrete plastic sheets arranged in a stack. The plurality of discrete plastic sheets are disposed within the package enclosure, and each of the plurality of discrete plastic sheets is electrostatically charged. In the method of making the dispensable plastic sheets, electrostatically charged discrete plastic sheets are formed and arranged in a stack. The method may include forming a continuous plastic film, cutting the continuous plastic film into discrete plastic sheets, and, after cutting, electrostatically charging the discrete plastic sheets.
