The recording medium comprises a subbed support and a heat fusible coloring material layer which contains at least one compound having a plurality of polar groups and/or polar bonds selected from the group consisting of a hydroxyl group, an amino group, an imino group, a carboxyl group, an ester bond, an ether bond, an urethane bond and an amino bond.

Abstract: Transfer sheets and ribbons having a thin foundation carrying two superposed heat-transferable coatings. The base coating is cohesive, nonadhesive, substantially colorless and free of coloring matter and oil, and functions as a heat sink to insulate the top layer against excessive melting. The supercoating is more adhesive than the base coating, contains coloring matter and has excellent bonding properties for the base layer and also for receptive sheets including those having very smooth or glossy surfaces and relatively smooth closely-woven fabrics.Heat-transferred images are strongly adhered to the receptive sheet and produce no visible loss of clarity or sharpness if smudged by contact since the portion of the images exposed to contact is free of coloring matter.

Abstract: A thermal transfer sheet comprising a heat resistive base, a thermally transferable ink layer on one side of the base, and auxiliary particles distributed in the layer so that they partially emerge from the surface of the layer to present an irregular surface. The transferable ink layer comprises a mixture of a coloring agent and a hot melt binder, the mixture being transferable to a writing surface in response to application of heat to the other side of the base to provide continuous tone rendition.

Abstract: A lightweight impact-resistant window panel, for example for adhesive glazing to the airframe of an unpressurized aircraft, has outer and inner glass plies which are laminated with an intermediate impact-resistant plastics ply. An inner ply of impact-resistant plastics is bonded to the rearward face of the inner glass ply. The aggregate thickness of the impact-resistant plies is in the range from about 1 mm to about 7.5 mm.

Abstract: A personal protection device having a flexible support, and a breakable capsule at a front surface of the support, which capsule contains skunk essence. Upon attack, the user bends the support to break the capsule in the direction of an assailant in order to repel the assault.

Abstract: Transparency medium for automatic printers comprises transparent film sheet with central window area and surrounding margin area and a backer sheet bonded to the film sheet only in the margin area. Preferably, a sequence of such backer sheets, including side edges suitable for automatic feeding (such as by tractor pin holes) on a separate edge portion, are separably connected at adjoining forward and rearward edge lines to form a fan folded supply of indefinite length.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a thermal transfer (printing) material comprising a base material of a biaxially oriented polyethylene 2,6-naphthalate film of a Young's modulus in the longitudinal direction of not less than 600 kg/mm.sup.2 and a thermal transfer layer coated on the film.

Abstract: A colored image recording material comprising a support and hot-melt inks each comprising at least one coloring material, a photosetting resin and a polmerization initiator and applied on one side of the support can provide colored images excellent in resolving power and image storing properties by an image forming method.

Abstract: In a system for protecting metal objects, e.g. pipes intended for inground implantation, from corrosion and/or other degradative forces by wrapping an adhesive tape over the surface thereof, the improvement wherein opposed edges of the tape are tapered.

Abstract: A thermal transfer recording sheet comprising a support containing plate-like or lamellar inorganic fine particles therein and a thermal transfer coloring ink layer formed on one side of the support, and if required a heat resistant layer formed on another side of the support, hardly provides wear of a thermal head surface while maintaining good take-up characteristics of synthetic resin film used as a support.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a thermal transfer (printing) film comprising:a base film,a stick-preventing layer provided on one side of said base film, said stick-preventing layer being provided at a rate of 0.01 to 1.9 g/m.sup.2 on one side of said base film, the center line average roughness of the surface of said stick-preventing layer being 0.03 to 0.15 .mu.m, the coefficient of parallel slipping of said stick preventive layer against glass surface being not more than 1.0, and the tensile strength of the film formed with said stick-preventing layer on one side thereof being not less than 8 kgf/mm.sup.2 when said film was elongated by 5% in the longitudinal direction, anda heat-melting ink layer provided on the other side of said base film.

Abstract: The present device is an overlay member, such as a glass piece, which permits a viewer to see, for instance a work of art, without being distracted by reflected images emanating from the overlay or glass surface. The present overlay has a base member having rough surfaces on both sides and has a coating, or plurality of layers of anti-reflection material such as silicon dioxide and titanium dioxide, which is arranged to reduce image reflection, from the surface, by light interference. The rough surfaces of the base member substantially disperse the reflecting light, which does occur after the reduction by the anti-reflection coating, so that the viewer sees no image reflection.

Abstract: An improved membrane roofing arrangement is designed to eliminate the problem of "blistering" in prior art single membrane system.The membrane roofing arrangement comprises a perforated underlay sheet interposed between a single membrane and the roof, the perforated sheet preventing adhesion of the membrane to the roof at the non-perforated portions of the underlay sheet. In this manner, paths are provided between the membrane and roof for venting vapor to the edges of the membrane and/or suitable vents, thereby eliminating blistering of the membrane.
