Abstract: A system for decoding compressed data comprising an address memory of a FIFO type or RAM type, and an addition/subtraction circuit in which addition/subtraction is carried out between the address of a reference color change element and a relative distance between the reference color change element and a color change element in question, so that position data for the color change element in question is obtained, and the obtained position data of the color change element in question is written-in to the address memory.

Abstract: A new image recording method, such as an electrophotographic method or electrostatic recording method, where a plurality of recording papers, each having visualized images, can be produced from an electrostatic latent image which is formed only once on the electrostatic latent image forming material. A recording material having a high resistance value and dielectric factor is laid on the electrostatic latent image forming material after an electrostatic latent image corresponding to a image to be recorded has been formed on said electrostatic latent image forming material. An electrostatic latent image on the recording material corresponding to the electrostatic latent image on the electrostatic latent image forming material is visualized by supplying developer to the surface of the recording material not facing or opposite to the electrostatic latent image forming material. Thereafter the developer on said recording material is fixed.

Abstract: An electrophotographic recording device suitable for a Form Overlay System, by which a latent image is formed on a surface of a light-sensitive recording medium, consisting of a first area which is maintained at an original potential, a second area which is maintained at a partially reduced potential and a third area which is maintained at a potential of zero.

Abstract: An electrostatic transfer process and apparatus for transferring an image comprised of letters, symbols and patterns onto a sheet of plain recording paper from an electrostatic latent image forming material comprised of a conductive substrate and an insulating layer formed on the substrate. The insulating layer surface of the electrostatic latent image forming material is uniformly charged with electrostatic charges. The charges of only image forming areas of the insulating layer surface are subsequently erased so that an electrostatic latent image is formed in the image forming areas. Thereafter, the electrostatic latent image forming material moves past a developing electrode to which is applied a voltage of the same polarity as that of the charges applied to the insulating layer of the electrostatic latent image forming material.
