Abstract: An automatic excretion-processing device (1) includes a cup (2) attached to a human body and configured to receive an object which is excreted from the human body, a processing unit (3) configured to transfer the object in the cup outside of the cup, an acquisition unit (4) configured to image the inside of the cup and to acquire a captured image of the object, and a determination unit (5) configured to extract a feature of the object with reference to a result of iterative learning using the captured images of the object in different states on the basis of the captured images acquired by the acquisition unit and to classify the state of the object.

Abstract: This invention relates to a photosensitive polymer composition containing as essential components (A) a soluble polymer, (B) a photopolymerizable compound having an ethylenic double bond in the molecule there of and (C) a photopolymerization initiator, the soluble polymer comprising a water-soluble polymer and an alcohol-soluble polymer, the composition having a sea-and-islands structure comprising sea containing the water-soluble polymer as a main component and islands containing the alcohol-soluble polymer as a main component, and the islands are independently in the form of sphere or oval having a diameter of 0.1 to 20 microns.The photosensitive polymer composition affords a printing plate having high image reproducibility and water-developability and capable of withstanding the coating of an aqueous polymer according to a printing method.

Abstract: A magnetic recording medium composed of an oriented polyethylene terephthalate film as a support layer and a thin magnetic metallic layer formed on one surface (A) of the support layer and optionally a lubricant layer formed on the other surface (B) of the support layer; characterized in that(1) the surface A has a center-line average (CLA) of not more than 0.005 .mu.m,(2) the surface A has a peak-to-valley (PV) value of not more than 0.06 .mu.m,(3) the number of protrusions having a height of 0.27 to 0.54 .mu.m on the surface A is at most 0.2 per mm.sup.2, and(4) the surface A is substantially free from protrusions having a height larger than 0.54 .mu.m.

Abstract: A polyester film characterized by having many uneven units on its surface, each of said uneven units being composed of a fine projection and a depression existing therearound, and a process for producing aforesaid polyester film, which comprises pre-heating an unstretched polyester film containing internal particles attributed to an inert additive having an average particle diameter of 0.05 to 5 .mu.m and/or a catalyst residue to a temperature of 80.degree. to 120.degree. C.; stretching the film in a first axial direction to 2.6 to 3.5 times at a temperature of 110.degree. to 145.degree. C.; thereafter, stretching the film in a second axial direction at right angles to the first axial direction to 3.0 to 4.0 times at a temperature of 100.degree. to 150.degree. C.; and then heat-setting the stretched film at a temperature of 160.degree. to 240.degree. C.

Abstract: A magnetic recording material formed from a base film of a crystalline polymer and having a magnetic layer coated on one surface of the base film which is sufficiently smooth to prevent the occurrence of dropout and the other surface of the film being finely rugged to thereby impart good running property to the magnetic recording material.

Abstract: A method for heat bonding a polyester film directly with other film or shaped articles of polyester at a temperature below its melting point by using corona discharge treated polyester film, said polyester being predominantly alkylene terephthalate units and/or alkylene 2,6-naphthalate units and the film therefor.
