Abstract: A printer includes a media feeder to feeding media in a feed direction, a print head to eject droplets of ink onto the media, heaters to heat the media, and a controller to perform a printing operation corresponding to received print data by causing the media feeder to feed the media heated by the heaters and causing the print head to eject the droplets of ink onto the media based on the print data, the controller being configured or programmed to move the media and/or the heaters during the print idle time before performing the printing operation.

Abstract: A computer-readable recording medium storing a data collection program for easily performing a process to collect data from a plurality of core systems at desired timing, and combine and analyze the data and data in a local database. An access request decomposer determines at least one remote database to be accessed, based on an access request accepted by an information management unit, and decomposes the access request into remote access requests each for accessing each of the remote databases. An access unit accesses the remote databases based on the remote access requests created by the access decomposer and extracts data from the remote databases. An aggregation unit aggregates the data extracted by the access unit, and then the aggregation result is displayed.

Abstract: Retrieving is conducted by employing table disclosure/non-disclosure information for managing a user who conducts a retrieving and disclosure or non-disclosure information of a table, and an information management dictionary having a disclosure condition for managing a user who conducts retrieving and each data item in the table. In addition, server information for managing information of another server is employed to conduct duplicating data or the information management dictionary.

Abstract: The invention provides a diorganopolysiloxane having a hydroxy- and amino-functional reactive group bonded only to one of the terminal silicon atoms of the linear molecular chain ends. The diorganopolysiloxane compound, which is useful as a modifying agent of various kinds of synthetic resins, is represented by the general formulaR.sub.3 Si--O--SiR.sub.2 --O.sub.n SiR.sub.2 --CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 OCH.sub.2 CHOHCH.sub.2 NR.sup.1 R.sup.2,in which R is a monovalent hydrocarbon group, R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are each a hydrogen atom or a monovalent hydrocarbon group selected from the class consisting of alkyl groups having 1 to 18 carbon atoms and aryl groups having 6 to 15 carbon atoms, at least one of R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 being not a hydrogen atom, or R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are each a divalent group jointly forming a morpholino group together with the nitgoren atom and the subscript n is zero or a positive integer not exceeding 1000.

Abstract: A silicone grease composition composed of an organopolysiloxane fluid and a thickneing agent is admixed with from 0.5 to 20% by weight of a copper dialkyl dithiocarbamate or, in particular copper diethyl dithiocarbamate as a lubrication improving agent so that the grease composition is imparted with greatly improved boundary lubrication under extreme-pressure conditions between steel and steel as well as improved thermal stability.

Abstract: Planographic master with which a dry planographic printing plate is prepared comprises a substrate and an overlying layer of a photocurable organopolysiloxane composition. The composition comprises (a) an organopolysiloxane having aliphatically unsaturated linkages in the molecule, (b) an mercapto-containing organopolysiloxane, and (c) a photosensitizer. The dry planographic printing plate is prepared by providing imagewise patterns on the organopolysiloxane layer of the planographic master, the organopolysiloxane layer having been cured or being cured by irradiation with ultraviolet light to effect crosslinking by the photochemical addition reaction of the aliphatically unsaturated linkages and the mercapto groups. The printing plates, having ink-receptive image areas and ink-repellent non-image areas, can be used in dry planographic printing, and exhibit quite sufficient printability, especially for office use, to produce satisfactory printed copies.

Abstract: A planographic dry offset master plate composed of a substrate and, formed thereon, a crosslinking agent-cured layer of a diorganopolysiloxane in which 5 to 40 mole % of the organic groups directly bonded to silicon atoms are phenyl groups. The master plate is especially suitable for plate-making by an electrostatic process and a direct image process. The resulting printing plate has good durability and are free from scumming during printing.
