Abstract: If at least the front surface layer and back surface layer of a plastic card formed from a plurality of layers are formed as antibacterial layers including (e. g.) coating layers, printed layers or sheets containing a powdered antibacterial agent, and this configuration is applied to hospital examination cards or various other types of cards that are handled by large numbers of persons, the spread of infections, etc., via said cards can be prevented even if said cards are not subjected to a disinfection treatment.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for inspecting the quality of transparent protective overlays. The inspection method and apparatus enables accurate inspection of formed transparent protective overlays and enables implementation of more quantitative control of transparent protective overlay quality. Such method and apparatus automatically and accurately inspects the quality of transparent protective overlays placed on substrate surfaces to determine whether the transparent protective overlay formed to protect information such as images, text, or symbols recorded on the surface of a card-type or other easily portable information-recorded medium is of acceptable quality.

Abstract: The present invention provides a lenticular sheet in which cylindrical lens parts including a radiation curable resin are formed on one side of a transparent support, and at least a light-diffusing layer and light-blocking stripes are formed on the flat surface located on the opposite side of said sheet. Cylindrical lens parts with a fine pitch of 0.3 mm or less can be obtained; furthermore, finely pitched light-blocking stripes can be accurately formed in the desired positions.A projection screen constructed by combining the aforementioned lenticular sheet with a Fresnel lens sheet is ideally suited for viewing a liquid crystal projection TV with a high image definition.

Abstract: A dispensing and closing package for liquid products has a cap which also serves as a measuring cup. The cap fits on the outer circumference of a dispensing cylinder. A passageway is provided adjacent to a common point between the cap and the dispensing cylinder running between the container body and the inside of the cap.
