Abstract: A heat-bondable paper sheet (1) which is appropriate for backing of paper to be used for sliding door, shoji (paper sliding door), wall, and ceiling in a Japanese style house, for writing and drawing, or for plywood, and which can be heat-bonded by the use of heat of an iron. A heat-shrinkable and pressure-sensitive thermoplastic adhesive layer (3) is provided on one side of a sheet (2) roughened by crepe or emboss finishing or the like. Regardless of slight roughness of the surface of a ground sheet to which the heat-bondable sheet is bonded, the heat-sensitive adhesive layer (3) is easily melted with heat and enables bonding without causing creases when the sheet is lightly pressed, whereby bonding with the use of a steam iron which has been impossible up to now is made possible.

Abstract: In the connection of rectangular air-conditioning channels, prefabricated flange connections are used. These consist of a frame (12) with four corner angles (63) and four frame legs. The frame (12) must hold together until it is pushed onto the channel end and is spot-fixed there. Previously, for the connection of corner angles (63) and frame legs, use was made of centre-punch presses or other presses. By means of the invention, it becomes possible to secure the corner angles (63) on the frame legs with a striking instrument. To this end, a bead (24) is bent into the frame legs, the walls (33, 34) of which are guided in an elongated slot (92) of the leg halves (94, 97) of the corner angle (63). With their front region (123, 124) they pass into a deformation space (122) where they are deformed so that corner angles (63) and frame legs (33, 34) no longer separate from one another. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Cross-luminance and cross-color artifacts can be eliminated if in an extended encoder the chrominance information is made pairwise equal at two time instants and the luminance information (i.e. the high horizontal frequencies) is also made equal at these two time instants. In an extended decoder, the high-frequency luminance information can be separated again from the modulated chrominance information by, for example, (i) subtracting the information of the pairs at the above-mentioned time instants and by dividing them by 2 (this yields chrominance), and by (ii) averaging the information of the pairs at these time instants (this yields high-frequency luminance).

Abstract: A printing ink comprises a clear, transparent, polymeric carrier material and uniform, colloidal size charged color particles evenly dispersed therein. The carrier and the particles are adhesively bonded to one another so as to form a matrix which can collectively respond to an externally imposed electrostatic field to promote co-movement of a "bite" of ink to an imaging medium without change of the bulk particle/carrier ratio. During the printing process, the ink is melted and exposed to electrostatically charged latent image areas on a heated image cylinder, resulting in the transfer of the ink thereto in proportion to the electrostatic field strength. The ink exhibits a relatively sharp liquid-to-solid transition, thereby enabling rapid ink solidification and complete transfer from the imaging medium to the relatively cool printing substrate. Also disclosed is a printing method and apparatus that facilitate continuous, variable and on-demand color printing in conjunction with the ink. Use of essentially monodispersed, color-coated, colloidal size, spherical particles in the ink results in excellent color purity and chromaticity range.
