Abstract: A moving environment system capable of opening a door in a state in which a robot is away from the door by an appropriate distance while also reducing unnecessary opening of the door is provided. A moving environment system includes: an autonomous mobile robot; and an automatic door including a sensor configured to detect an object that has entered a predetermined detection area, in which the detection area includes a detection area for a passerby and a detection area for an autonomous mobile robot, the detection area for the autonomous mobile robot is set so as to include an area through which a frequency of people passing is equal to or smaller than a predetermined frequency, and the autonomous mobile robot passes through the automatic door via the detection area for the autonomous mobile robot.

Abstract: A thermal dye transfer sheet having a dye layer provided on at least one side of a substrate, which is used for thermal dye transfer recording system carrying out recording by transferring a dye or dyes in the dye layer to a dye-receiving material by heating means, wherein the dye layer contains a pyrazolonemethine type dye of the following formula: ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 can be respectively independently selected and are a lower alkyl group which may be substituted, a lower alkenyl group which may be substituted or an aryl group which may be substituted; andR.sup.3 and R.sup.4 can be respectively independently selected and are a lower alkyl group which may be substituted, a dialkylamino group, a --COOR.sup.5 group or a --CONR.sup.6 R.sup.7 group, in which R.sup.5 is a lower alkyl group which may be substituted, a lower alkenyl group which may be substituted or an aryl group which may be substituted and R.sup.6 and R.sup.

Abstract: An image transfer device for transferring a clear image to a transfer object includes transport device for a transferring film, an image writing device for transferring ink from a transfer ribbon onto the film by a thermal head, a stage for fixing a transfer object, a guiding means for a inked image of the film onto the object on the stage, a transfer roller for transferring the inked image to the object, and a peel roller disposed in the vicinity of the transfer roller for peeling the transferred film from the object.

Abstract: An intermediate transfer medium comprises a heat-resistant base sheet and provided thereon a release layer and an image-receiving adhesive layer on which an image pattern is formed by a sublimation transfer means in accordance with image data, said image-receiving adhesive layer, on which said image pattern has been formed, being transferred to a transfer substrate together with said release layer to produce an image-recorded article, wherein said image-receiving adhesive layer is comprised of a thermoplastic resin having a glass transition point of 50.degree. C. or above and a filler added to the thermoplastic resin and selected from the group consisting of an inorganic filler having a melting point of 200.degree. C. or above and an organic filler having a softening point or decomposition point of 200.degree. C. or above.
