Patent EP-0559471-A1 (EP)
Inventor: ITO AKIO
IPC: H04N1/62
Filed: 1993-03-04
Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes an input unit, a color discriminating unit, a pattern generating unit, and an image forming unit. The input unit inputs an image having a plurality of colors. The discriminating unit discriminates the colors of the image input from the input unit. The pattern generating unit generates a pattern image in accordance with the discrimination result obtained by the discriminating unit. The image forming unit forms the pattern image (e.g. red and black pattern), generated by the pattern generating unit, on a recording medium. The image forming unit forms the pattern image in different colors in accordance with the discrimination result obtained by the discriminating unit. 
     Prior to the printing of the pattern image a histogram is generated to designate the pattern colours.

Abstract: A method for preparing optical-grade polycarbonate compositions comprises the melt-polycondensation of an aromatic dihydroxy compound and a diester carbonate in the presence of a catalyst, followed by the addition of additives [B] while the polycarbonate [A] obtained as the reaction product is in a molten state, and mixing. 
     Preferably following mixing the optical-grade polycarbonate composition is subject to filtration with a polymer filter. 
     The method provides optical-grade polycarbonate compositions, that have not only excellent clarity and water resistance, but also excellent retention stability such as heat stability and hue stability when molten and a low content of inclusions and impurities, and that undergo little heat deterioration.

Abstract: Marking devices for use with plants are described which are provided with elongate bodies in which detailed information concerning a particular plant may be provided on a plant label (24). The upper end of the body may carry a number of differently coloured and/or patterned sections which are normally covered by a skirt of a cap (20) for the device. The skirt is apertured to enable a user to provide that one or more of the sections is visible to give a quick indication of the particular treatment a plant may need. 
     An alternative arrangement provides that a number of different caps are provided - of different colours. 
     The marker may be supported adjacent a plant by being provided with a spike (14) at one end of the body. In the alternative the body, or a cap - if provided - may be apertured and receive a wire or cord by means of which the marker may be hung on a plant or a support adjacent a plant. 
     The body may be provided with a window (22) through which the information on a plant label may be read.

Abstract: Il est décrit un granulat se présentant sous la forme d'un produit en vrac, apte à l'écoulement, renfermant, comme constituant principal, des activateurs de blanchiment pour le lavage des textiles, intégrés, sous la forme d'une phase solide finement dispersée, dans une phase pratiquement anhydre, essentiellement constituée de matières solides, traversant le grain du granulat et servant de liant. Cette phase servant de liant est formée d'un mélange homogénéisé d'agents tensioactifs anioniques et d'auxiliaires de solubilisation qui sont adaptés, dans leur proportions, de telle façon que la phase mixte de liant se ramollisse pour devenir liquide ou plastique, à la température de travail de la formation du granulat, et ceci, même sans addition d'eau. Les granulats activateurs de blanchiment sont obtenus par mélange préalable des activateurs finement divisés avec les constituants du liant et, éventuellement, avec d'autres adjuvants, après quoi le mélange de produits est homogénéisé, à des températures de préférence modérément élevées, en une masse qui peut être comprimée en forme de boudin, puis extrudée sous pression élevée, les boudins sortants étant tronçonnés pour donner des grains ayant la forme voulue, et éventuellement arrondis.

Abstract: On récouvrait jusqu'à maintenant des matériaux de construction, tels que le béton, avec des silicones et des silicates, afin de les protéger contre l'eau mais ce type de traitement ne constitue pas une prévention contre la croissance des algues ou d'autres espèces. On a déterminé actuellement que les matériaux de construction peuvent être protégés de la croissance des algues au moyen d'un traitement avec un composé contenant de l'étain présentant une liaison covalente avec un groupe de silylation, de manière à minimiser le dedoublement des liaisons covalentes dûes à l'hydrolyse ou à la photolyse, ce qui rend le traitement écologiquement fiable. Un desdits composés est représenté par la formule (n_-Bu)3SnCH2CH2Si(OEt)3. On peut soit incorporer le composé d'étain dans les matériaux brutes de constitution du matériau de construction ou l'appliquer aux matériaux de construction finis. Quand on applique le composé d'étain à un matériau de construction présentant des trainés d'algues, celles-ci sont censées disparaître.

A first wall (38) is provided on the housing for contacting the fluid reservoir, and a second wall (24) is movable from a first position distanced from the first wall to form the chamber (17) therebetween, and a second position relatively closer to the first wall (38). Advancing the movable wall from the first position to the second position expels fluid from the collapsible reservoir. Preferably, the first and second walls (24, 38) are provided with non-planar complementary surface configurations for contacting the collapsible reservoir (18). Retraction mechanisms for retracting the movable wall from the second position to the first position, and user readable indicium of the status of the dispensation cycle are also disclosed.

Abstract: A carrier for one or more reaction zones incorporated in the form of channels in this carrier, each of which zones is equipped with a colour indicator, is to be improved in such a way that a simply carried out, individually alterable coating of the reaction zones with the required indicators, which may be different, can be realised with uniform coating density. This is achieved by means of a carrier which is configured as a sandwich-type film composite which includes a reagent carrier film (12) which comprises a special plastic material, namely a perfluoroethylene-propylene (FEP) which has been surface-treated by means of a corona discharge (FEPc). A particularly favourable embodiment for the reaction zones on the reagent carrier film (12) comprises the reactants being applied to the reagent carrier film (12) in the form of a dot matrix (13) applied by means of a drop (droplet) generator (20). <IMAGE>
