Patent EP-1380902-A1 (EP)
Inventor: KAWADA KAZUMASA
IPC: B41M5/28
Filed: 2003-07-10
Abstract: A color image forming method and apparatus using larger
microcapsules (40) each of which contains a plurality of kinds of smaller
microcapsules (41M, 41C, 41Y, 41K) scattered within the larger
microcapsule (40), reacting substances (44, 45) that are mixed with each
other to perform a coloring reaction being scattered inside and outside the
smaller microcapsule (41M, 41C, 41Y, 41K). A protective wall (43) of each
smaller microcapsule (41M, 41C, 41Y, 41K) is broken with a corresponding
predetermined ultrasonic stimulus depending upon color component
information to thereby cause the reacting substances (44, 45) to diffuse
with each other to perform a coloring reaction and hence image printing.
The conditions for breaking the protective walls (43) of the respective
smaller microcapsules (41M, 41C, 41Y, 41K) that contain a color former
component (44) vary from smaller microcapsule to smaller microcapsule, or
are determined depending upon the outer shapes, materials and thickness
of the protective walls (43) of the smaller microcapsules.

right sampled peripheral skin temperature data; processing the sampled peripheral
skin temperature data; processing the sampled peripheral skin temperature data
including filtering, differentiation, and conversion to the frequency domain to
derive spectral signatures whose magnitudes are indicative of the level of ADHD
manifestation. The effectiveness of the medication is calculated by comparison to

Abstract: A fixation device for use in association with anterior lumbar interbody fusion procedures includes a couple of spaced plates (12,13) which may have integral spikes (19) on facing surfaces thereof for pressing into spinal processes of adjacent vertebrae. One of the plates (12) may have a spherical socket (17) which captures a spherical head (16) end of a post (14) whose other end is received through an aperture (19) in the other plate (13). The socket mounting is arranged to enable the post to pivot therein for at least two degrees of freedom to a limited extent, enabling angulation between the two plates so as to accommodate the different thicknesses and orientations of the spinal processes on adjacent vertebrae. The reception of the post in the second plate enables adjustment of spacing between the plates to accommodate effective installation of the assembly on the spinal processes by a compression instrument, and permanent reliable maintenance of that spacing following removal of the compression instrument. The cross-sectional configuration of the post and receiver aperture (19) in the plate (13) may inhibit rotation of the plate relative to the post about the post axis, and a set screw (22) in the apertured plate (13) may engage a flat (14F) on the post fixing the inter-plate space as adjusted.
