Abstract: The object is to provide a liquid container that can prevent foreign substances from flowing into a liquid ejection apparatus with a simple configuration. The liquid container for containing liquid to be ejected by a liquid ejection apparatus includes: a bag body configured to contain the liquid inside; and a flow path for supplying the liquid contained inside the bag body to the liquid ejection apparatus, wherein, inside a peripheral wall of the flow path, a first capturing unit extending in an anti-gravitational direction and a second capturing unit extending in a gravitational direction are arranged at different positions with respect to a direction in which the liquid flows.

Abstract: A non-pneumatic tire includes an inner cylinder (6) that is attachable to an axle (15a), an outer cylinder (4) that surrounds the inner cylinder from the outside in the radial direction of the tire, and an elastically deformable connection member (3) that connects the inner cylinder and the outer cylinder to each other. A light-emitting part or a reflecting part that reflects light is provided in at least one portion of the inner cylinder, the outer cylinder, and the connection member.

Abstract: The two-way communication system which provides program information distributed in a predetermined broadcasting system from a program information provider for a CATV subscriber through a CATV network, processes return information returned from the CATV subscriber, and transmits the processed information to the program information provider is disclosed.

Abstract: A CATV transmission center apparatus, a subscriber terminal device, a CATV distribution system, and a method of distributing a program, will solve the problems of the need to change transmission facilities for handling more channels, the costly CATV infrastructure per program, the expensive subscriber terminal devices, and the tedious and time-consuming process of selecting desired programs. When there is a request to view a program which is not being distributed from the subscriber terminal device to the CATV transmission center apparatus, an empty channel is searched for. If an empty channel is found, the requested program is distributed via the empty channel. All subscriber terminal devices are notified that the program which has started to be distributed is being distributed. The CATV transmission center apparatus distributes only those programs which are actually viewed by subscribers.

Abstract: An electrophotographic image transfer paper for a copier including a fixing operation, comprises a sheet of raw paper, and a receiving layer on the paper for reducing blistering of the sheet during fixing of an image on the sheet, the receiving layer including a coating on at least one side of the sheet, having a center-line-average surface roughness not more than 2.0 micrometer and an air permeability less than or equal to 4,000 seconds.

Abstract: Alcohol-containing powders having a high alcohol content with a high alcohol yield are prepared by mixing a hydrolyzed starch comprising at least 50% of oligosaccharides having a glucose polymerization degree of up to 8 and up to 10% of saccharides having a glucose polymerization degree of up to 2 in an alcohol-containing aqueous solution and spray-drying the resulting liquid mixture.
