Abstract: An air baggage tag readable by a bar code reader is composed of a recording layer, a substrate, a pressure sensitive adhesive layer, and release paper, wherein the substrate has a laminate structure composed of (A.sup.1) a fine void-containing stretched thermoplastic resin film and (A.sup.2) a substantially void-free uniaxially stretched thermoplastic resin film having a transverse Elmendorf tear strength of at least 80 g, the thickness of the uniaxially stretched thermoplastic resin film (A.sup.2) is from 10 to 60% of the total thickness of the substrate, and the recording layer is provided on the side of the stretched thermoplastic resin film (A.sup.1) opposite to the stretched thermoplastic resin film (A.sup.2) and has printed thereon a bar code. The baggage tag has high tear strength while exhibiting satisfactory printability and therefore, when attached to each piece of air baggage, is not easily torn apart even on being pulled.

Abstract: A thermal transfer recording sheet comprising a support having thereon a thermal transfer image-receiving layer, said support comprising a thermoplastic resin film containing from 3 to 60% by weight of a petroleum resin, where the thermoplastic resin film is preferably a microvoid-containing film, and the thermal transfer recording sheet exhibits excellent surface smoothness and, in case of a microvoid-containing support, also exhibits excellent cushioning properties so that the recording sheet has improved contact with a thermal head to provide a transferred image rich in gradation and which does not curl even after thermal recording.

Abstract: A recording material comprising a thermosensitive recording layer (B) or a thermal dye transfer type image receiving layer (B') laminated on a surface layer (b) of a support (A), wherein the support (A) comprises the surface layer (b) comprising a uniaxially stretched thermoplastic resin film laminated onto a base layer (a), wherein the base layer (a) comprises a biaxially stretched film of a thermoplastic resin containing 10 to 45% by weight of an inorganic fine powder, and wherein said support (A) satisfies conditions (1) to (3):(1) the surface layer (b) of the support (A) comprises at least two layers: an outer layer (b.sup.1) comprising a uniaxially stretched film of a thermoplastic resin containing 0 to 30% by weight of an inorganic fine powder; and an inner layer (b.sup.2) comprising a uniaxially stretched film of a thermoplastic resin containing 30 to 80% by weight of an inorganic fine powder, wherein the thickness of the outer layer (b.sup.

Abstract: A fuel injection control apparatus for an internal combustion engine includes a basic injection quantity calculation unit for calculating a basic injection quantity on the basis of an intake air quantity and an engine speed. A deposit detection unit detects a deposit quantity indicating a quantity of deposit deposited in an air intake system of the internal combustion engine, the deposit containing carbon particles. A correction unit calculates a real injection quantity using the basic injection quantity and the deposit quantity when the internal combustion engine is operating in a steady state within a predetermined period after the internal combustion engine is started.

Abstract: A support for a dye transfer type thermosensitive printing sheet is disclosed, which comprises a porous film base having a biaxially stretched film of a thermoplastic resin containing an inorganic fine powder having adhered thereon a thermoplastic resin film having a centerline-average roughness of not more than 0.5 .mu.m as a surface layer on which a dye transfer type thermosensitive printing layer is to be provided, said surface layer having a thickness of from 0.3 to 1.5 .mu.m and a Bekk's smoothness of from 2500 to 7000 seconds, and said support having an opacity of not less than 70%, a density of not more than 0.91 g/cm.sup.3, and a compression ratio of from 15 to 35% under a stress of 32 kg/cm.sup.2. A dye transfer type thermosensitive printing sheet using the support of the invention has excellent surface smoothness and exhibits considerable compressibility and, therefore, shows improved adhesion or contact with a printing head to form an image rich in gradation.

Abstract: A support for a thermosensitive recording material comprising a surface layer of a thermoplastic resin film having a center line average roughness of 0.6 .mu.m or less laminated on the surface of a porous film base material of a biaxially stretched film of a thermoplastic resin containing an inorganic fine powder, wherein the properties of said support meet the following conditions (a) to (c);(a) the thickness of the surface layer is from 0.3 to 2.0 .mu.m and the Bekk smoothness of the surface layer is from 1,000 to 8,000 seconds,(b) the opacity of the support is at least 70%, the density of the support is 0.91 g/cm.sup.3 or less, and the compression ratio of the support under a stress of 32 kg/cm.sup.2 is from 15 to 35%, and(c) the coefficient of thermal shrinkage at 120.degree. C. for 30 minutes is 2.5% or less in the longitudinal direction and is 2.0% or less in the width direction.

Abstract: A process for producing synthetic label paper which comprises preparing a multi-layer film comprising a film of a thermoplastic resin containing an inorganic fine powder having provided on the back side thereof a layer of a heat-sealable resin having a melting point lower than that of said thermoplastic resin, embossing the heat-sealable resin layer, and stretching the embossed multi-layer film at a temperature of from the melting point of said heat-sealable resin to a temperature lower than the melting point of said thermoplastic resin. The label paper, when used for in-mold decorating of a container, gives a blister-free appearance to a container, causes no deformation of a container, and exhibits sufficient nerve for fitting to an inner wall of a mold.

Abstract: There is disclosed a method for hot lubricated metal extrusion in which a billet is extruded into a solid or tubular form by means of a die and/or a mandrel with an organic lubricant interposed within a container, the method comprising feeding a combustion improver or a mixture of a combustion improver and water into an extruded product thereby burning off the carbide of the lubricant deposited on the surfaces of the extruded product.
