Abstract: A printing sheet used in a stamp includes a porous layer in which ink can be impregnated and a fibrous layer provided to a side of the porous layer opposite to the pattern. The porous layer carries a pattern on a surface thereof, the pattern including a non-print portion which blocks the permeation of the ink and a print portion which allows the permeation of the ink. The fibrous layer prevents the deformation of the porous layer. The fibrous layer is so constituted that ink can be impregnated therein.

Abstract: A stamp making device includes (1) a data input unit, (2) an original printing unit which forms an original film by printing an image on a transparent film based on inputted image data, (3) an irradiation unit including a transparent support plate and a light source, (4) an original feeder which feeds the original film on the transparent support plate, and (5) a biasing unit which biases the porous resin member against the original film on the transparent support plate. The irradiation unit applies the light to the porous resin member through the original film, in a state the porous resin member is biased to the original film by the biasing unit, so that an irradiated portion of the porous resin member is melted.

Abstract: A personalized product producing system enables customers to order a personalized product, such as a name card, a stamp, or a sticker/label, inexpensively and conveniently. Customers operate their own cellular phones to send personalized information to be engraved in a stamp or printed on a name card or sticker/label in the form of e-mail to a host computer. The host computer edits the information and sends personalized product producing data to a stamp personalized product producing device. The personalized product producing device produces a personalized product based on the received data.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a pattern sheet for plate-making capable of easily forming a positive image through the use of a photographic negative film. In this method, as a first step, a negative film with a printed negative image is placed on a surface of a light transmission sheet carrying a photosensitive color-developing layer containing a photosensitive color-developing material which makes a color development in response to light. Further, as a second step, the light is applied thereto from the negative film side after the first step. As a result of the application of the light, a color development takes place in the photosensitive color-developing layer due to the light passing through the negative image, thus causing a positive image to be formed on the surface of the light transmission sheet.

Abstract: A method for producing a steering wheel to which a liquid pressure transfer print is applied. In this method, by adjusting a transfer angle formed when the steering wheel is pressed onto a transfer film and selecting a part in a rim section at which the wheel begins to be brought into contact with the transfer film, a joint line of a transfer pattern is made invisible from the driver-side, and pattern-missing and pattern-distortion can be eliminated or decreased, resulting in a fine and precise liquid pressure transfer print being applied to the steering wheel. This method is characterized by that a front-face of the steering wheel is faced to the transfer film floated and advanced on a liquid-surface, the transfer angle is determined to be e.g., 30 to 45.degree., and first contact of the steering wheel with the transfer film occurs at a larger rim arc which is apart from portions where spokes are connected to the rim section, respectively.

Abstract: A stamp member including a first porous sheet in which ink can be impregnated, and a second porous sheet which is harder than the first porous sheet. A compressive strength of the second porous sheet being not less than 5 kg/cm.sup.2 when the second porous resin is compressed by 25%. The first and second porous sheets are fixed to each other at a plurality of points.

Abstract: A stamp unit has a transparent film which protects a stamp surface of the stamp material at the time of transportation of the stamp unit, during storage until a user starts to produce a stamp after purchasing the stamp unit, and during production of the stamp plate. The transparent film is thermally adhered on the lower edge of the holder member and is capable of protecting the surface of the stamp material until the start of the stamp printing. The transparent film is capable of easily and economically adhering to the stamp material without adhering to a thermal adhesion jig.

Abstract: A process which makes possible to produce a glycosylated amino compound (e.g. protein) easily in short period without denaturation of protein. The sugar (e.g. glucose) and protein (e.g. serum) are mixed, and the mixture is dried under reduced pressure, so that sugar and protein quickly react with each other to produce the glycosylated protein. The drying under reduced pressure is preferably lyophilization which is conducted under the following conditions: the temperature is about -20.degree. C., the pressure is about 2 mmHg, and the treatment time is 12 hours. Unreacted glucose is then removed by the dialysis process, thus providing the required glycosylated protein sterilization need not be carried out. This process makes it possible to produce a glycosylated protein in about one day as compared to 7 days by the conventional process, so that the denaturation of protein is less likely to occur.

Abstract: The relationship of variations in the retention time of a specific component of a measurement blood sample with respect to changes in change-over time of the eluting solution is determined. The retention time of the specific component of the measurement blood sample is measured under a particular analyzing condition. In case of a departure of the retention time from a predetermined reference range, a change-over time of eluting solution is obtained in accordance with the relationship, so that the retention time of the specific component can fall within the reference range. The change-ever time of eluting solution is updated as an analyzing condition for the subsequent analysis by using the obtained values.
