Abstract: A method for preparing a printing plate is disclosed. The method comprises contacting a heat sensitive medium, comprising a support and provided thereon a heat transfer layer containing a colorant, a heat fusible substance and a photo-curable composition, with a recording material having a hydrophilic recording surface through the heat transfer layer, applying heat in an image pattern to the contacted materials to transfer the image onto the recording material, and exposing the transferred image to actinic radiation to cure the transferred image.

Abstract: A thermal transfer image receiving material and a method for preparing therefrom a proof for printing are disclosed. The material comprises a support and provided thereon, a peelable layer and a first image receiving layer in this order, and the method comprises the steps of;contacting a thermal transfer layer onto the thermal transfer image receiving material,imagewise exposing the contacted materials to light,transferring the exposed portions of the transfer layer to the first image receiving layer, said transferring comprising transferring of at least yellow, magenta, and cyan color images on the first image receiving layer to form a color image, andtransferring the formed color image to a second image receiving layer.

Abstract: A heat mode recording material comprising a support and a heat sensitive layer positioned on the support, the heat sensitive layer comprising: (a) an ionomer resin obtained by ionically cross-linking with at least one metal ion, a copolymer comprising an alpha-olefin and an alpha-methylene aliphatic monocarboxylic acid; and (b) a hydrophilic binder. A method for recording image information using the above material is also disclosed and claimed.

Abstract: There are disclosed a photopolymerizable composition comprising an organic solvent-soluble ethylenic unsaturated compound, an organic solvent-dispersible, water-insoluble granular dispersion and an organic solvent-soluble photopolymerization initiator having mutually dissolved or dispersed in a solvent composed mainly of an organic solvent, and an image-forming material using the composition.According to this invention, there are provided a photopolymerizable composition which is developable with water in a short period of time, has high film strength and water resistance of a photosensitive layer, high lipophilic properties and superior film-forming capability and can produce a highly sensitive resist as well as an image-forming material using said composition.

Abstract: A hydraulic circuit for a hydraulically driven vehicle comprising a pair of variable displacement hydraulic pumps, a pair of hydraulic motors each connected with the respective variable displacement pumps in a closed loop, and a straight run compensator valve connected between the respective closed loops for equalizing fluid pressure in both closed loops when the vehicle is set in a straight run thereby assuring a steady straight run of the vehicle irrespective of the difference in displacement of the respective variable displacement pumps.

Abstract: A hydraulic circuit for a hydraulically driven vehicle comprising a pair of variable displacement pumps each driven by a common engine, a pair of variable displacement motors each connected with the respective variable displacement pumps in a closed loop circuit and driven thereby, a fixed displacement charge pump driven by the engine, and a pair of shuttle valves each connected in parallel with the respective closed loop circuits and has formed therein a neutral position and two offset positions wherein in the neutral positions of the shuttle valves both the closed loop circuits are connected with each other through the shuttle valves.
