  • Patent number: 6255029
    Abstract: A process for preparing a color toner for developing an electrostatic image comprising a step of polymerizing monomers to obtain resin particles, wherein the color toner comprises primary particles or secondary particles of resin particles, and a metal complex dye represented by the following formula (1) or formula (2), wherein, X1 and X3 each are a group of atoms bonding with each other which can form at least bidentate coordination bond with a metal ion; Y1 represents an aromatic hydrocarbon ring, a 5- or 6-membered heterocyclic ring or —L4═Y2; Y2 and Y3 each represent an aromatic hydrocarbon ring or a 5- or 6-membered heterocyclic ring; L1 and L4 each represent a substituted or an unsubstituted methine group or a nitrogen atom; L2 and L3 each represent a substituted or an unsubstituted methine group; M represents a metal ion which can form at least a bidentate coordination bond with said group of atoms bonding with each other represented by X1 and X3; m represents an integer of

  • Patent number: 5765065
    Abstract: A single-use camera which includes: a film winding knob, capable of rotating in the winding direction, for winding a film so as to feed the film frame by frame; a reversion-preventing member, having an engagement with the film winding knob, for preventing the film winding knob from rotating in the opposite direction to the winding direction; a releasing member for releasing the engagement of the reversion-preventing member with the film winding knob when the film is wound by the film winding knob so that the noise, generated from the reversion-preventing member, is prevented.

  • Patent number: 5534122
    Abstract: A chlor-alkali diaphragm electrolysis cell comprising pairs of interleaved cathodes (C) and anodes (B), said cathodes having surfaces with openings and are provided with porous corrosion resistant diaphragms, said cell further comprising feed brine inlets and outlets (H, I, L) for the removal of produced chlorine, hydrogen and caustic, said anodes (B) are expanded by internal extenders (F) and have electrode surfaces with openings for releasing produced gaseous chlorine, characterized in that each of said expanded anodes (B) comprises a plurality of pressing means (O,Q) made of corrosion resistant material having elastic properties to maintain the electrode surfaces of the anodes against the diaphragm and said pressing means are longitudinally positioned inside the anodes having very low operating voltages.
