Abstract: A transparent conductive laminate in which a transparent conductive layer (an ITO film) mainly comprising indium, tin and oxygen is formed on one main surface of a transparent substrate such as a polymeric film and which is excellent in moist heat resistance and scuff resistance and which can be applied to various kinds of transparent electrodes. The transparent conductive layer has a stable amorphous structure, and its resistivity is 1x10 -2  Ω·cm or less, and its electron mobility is 20 cm 2 /(V·sec) or more. This transparent conductive laminate can be prepared by forming an amorphous film mainly comprising indium, tin and oxygen and having a resistivity of more than 1x10 -2  Ω·cm on the substrate by a sputtering process under a high oxygen concentration atmosphere, and then subjecting the film to a heat treatment in the range of 80 to 180 °C to decrease the resistivity to 1x10 -2  Ω·cm or less, while the amorphous structure is maintained. This transparent conductive laminate can suitably be utilized as the transparent electrode of an electroluminescence light-emitting element equipped with a layer containing zinc sulfide as a light-emitting layer, and in this case, the deterioration of luminance during continuous light emission can be remarkably inhibited.

Abstract: A tube pump for use in an ink-jet recording device comprises: a rotor plate (104) mounted for
rotation about a first axis, a flexible tube (103) adapted to be inserted in an ink path of said
recording device, a tube guide (106A) having an arcuate shape concentric to said first axis, part
of said tube being mounted on the tube guide, a lever (107) pivotally mounted on said rotor
plate (104) about a pivot axis parallel to said first axis, a roller (105) mounted on the lever for
rotation about a second axis parallel to but radially displaced from said first axis, and urging
means (108) urging the lever toward the circumference of said rotor plate. The roller (105) is
shiftable relative to the lever between a first position and a second position wherein, in the
second position, the second axis is closer to the first axis than in said first position. When the
rotor plate is rotated in one direction and the roller is turned to a location inside the angular
range of said arcuate tube guide (106A), it is moved to its first position and elastically pressed
against said tube (103) backed by said tube guide so as to close the tube. When the rotor plate
is rotated in the opposite direction the roller is moved to the second position and the pressure on
the tube is relieved.

Abstract: For input image data ('A') before conversion, each
pixel is converted into N (=3) parts. In this case, the
three sub-pixels of data corresponding to a recording pixel
(black pixel) are converted into recording sub-pixels on
both sides of the three ('B'). This eliminates the density
variation within a single pixel. Therefore, it is possible
to reduce the dot spacing at slanted area, for example, and
hence eliminate jaggies, providing a reproduced image easily
recognized.

Abstract: The present invention provides an electrophotographic image forming apparatus capable of forming a high quality image by eliminating an expansion/contraction, displacement in color or nonuniformity of color of the image formed on a transfer member (7). An image carrier gear for driving an image carrier (1) is driven by a driving means gear (9) at an image carrier driving position (11a) and transmits driving force to conveying force transmitting gear (8) at a transfer driving position (11b). The conveying force transmitting gear (8) transmits conveying force to the transfer member (7). A time during which the image carrier (1) moves from a latent image forming position (1a) to a transferring position (1b) is equalized almost with a time during which the image carrier gear moves from an image carrier driving position to a transfer driving position. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A process for (especially continuously) coating glass strip in a float line with a metal-based reflective layer, of melting temperature not greater than the temperature at which the strip acquires dimensional stability, is carried out after the strip has acquired dimensional stability by contacting the metal, in powder or molten form in a controlled inert or reducing atmosphere, with the strip surface at a temperature at which the powder melts and coalesces or the molten metal spreads to form a continuous solid layer when the strip temperature falls to or below the metal melting temperature. Preferably, the metal is a single metal, an intermetallic compound, a metal alloy or an eutectic compound, especially one or more of Al, Zn, Sn and Cd, optionally including Si.   Also claimed are (i) glazing obtained by cutting float glass strip which has been coated by the above process with a ≤ 30 nm thick aluminium reflective layer for solar protection purposes; and (ii) a mirror obtained by cutting float glass strip which has been coated by the above process with a ≥ 30 nm thick aluminium reflective layer.   Further claimed is a glass substrate having a metallic reflective layer (3) of intermetallic compound, alloy or eutectic compound type, especially based on one or more of Al, Zn, Sn and Cd and optionally including Si, the novelty being that the substrate (1) also has an 'internal' and/or 'external' complementary layer (2, 4) which is provided below and/or above the reflective layer (3) and which provides chemical and/or mechanical durability.
