Abstract: Particles each of which consists of an inorganic polyvalent metal compound as a nucleus and a coating of a metallic soap of the polyvalent metal coating the nucleus (coated particles); products and preparation processes using the particles; a lubricating coating forming agent wherein particles each of which consists of a polyvalent metal salt of phosphoric acid as a nucleus and a coating of a metallic soap of the polyvalent metal coating the surface of the nucleus are suspended in an aqueous solution of a water soluble inorganic salt and/or a water soluble organic acid salt; and a lubricating coating. The coated particles are novel particles which can be used as an ingredient of coating-type lubricating coating; are excellent in seizure resistance; can inhibit wear of tools at the time of plastic working since the friction coefficient of the surface of the particles is low; and are slow to cause pollution of working oils.

Abstract: A document processing system and method checks resources of a print environment during a “preflight check” and matches the resources to those needed to output contents of a document before printing the document. First, a PC environment is checked. If printer fonts are used, a printer check is performed. Next, the document is analyzed to determine resources needed to output the document. Then matching is performed between the PC and printer environments and the resources used in the document. If available fonts and color profile are not provided, or the resolution of an image included in the document varies from that of the printer, a warning (notification) is displayed to an operator, and the operator is allowed to edit the document as necessary. Accordingly, a print system, which can employ preflight check results regardless of the operator skill level is provided.

Abstract: The invention relates to a so-called ceramic green sheet used for manufacturing multilayer ceramic electronic parts. The invention is directed to formation of an insulating layer or a like layer having a complex shape with concavities and convexities while maintaining accuracy in its shape, accuracy in its formation position and uniformity in its thickness. In a process according to the invention, a layer made of a photosensitive material including a powder having a desired electric characteristic is formed on a light transmissive base member. Light such as ultraviolet light having a first pattern is radiated to the photosensitive material from the back side of the base member and light such as ultraviolet light having a second pattern is radiated to the photosensitive material from the back side of the base member so that the photosensitive material is exposed. Then the photosensitive layer after the exposure is subjected to development.

Abstract: Even in the case of coding the input image by dividing into tiles, a fine image quality adjustment is possible based on the characteristic of each tile. The input image signal is transformed to the coded data through the tile dividing unit 102, the wavelet transforming unit 103, and the entropy coding unit 106, and is stored in the code memory 107. In parallel to this processing, the distortion calculating unit 108 calculates the distortion in each coding pass of each code block, and stores it in the distortion memory 109. On the other hand, the complex tile deciding unit 111 decides whether a particular tile is the complex tile or not. The tile classifying memory 112 stores the decision output. A distortion data outputted from the distortion memory 109 is outputted to the multiplier 110, the multiplier 110 multiplies the distortion data by the weight coefficient selected by the weight coefficient selecting unit 113.

Abstract: Encoding efficiency is enhanced by actively combining a plurality of encoding methods. A picture element memory receives and stores picture elements within a predetermined range. A mode determinator selects an encoding mode based upon a reference picture element. A first encoding section and a second encoding section predicts the value of the encoded picture element, determines whether the prediction is correct, and then encodes the value of the encoding picture element based on the determination result and outputs a codeword for the encoding picture element. An encoding controller selectively operates the first encoding section and the second encoding section based upon one of the specific encoding modes and the other encoding mode other than the specific encoding mode selected by the mode determinator.
