Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a pigment composition and an ink (in particular, a waterborne ink) that can reduce a viscosity increase over time when an azo lake pigment is used as a pigment and also have excellent color strength and gloss in printed products. The pigment composition according to the present invention includes a divalent metal lake azo pigment, and 0.1% by weight to 20% by weight of a divalent metal salt of a mono- or di-carboxylic acid compound. The divalent metal of the divalent metal salt is preferably an alkaline earth metal ion. The mono- or di-carboxylic acid compound is preferably a mono- or di-carboxylic acid compound having a carbon number of 4 to 20.

Abstract: A workpiece material is fed between rollers to bend the workpiece material while rolling, wherein the workpiece has a first thickness portion and a second thickness portion connected to each other with a setting angle of 90 degrees. The first thickness portion increases from an inner side toward an outer side, and a thickness on an outer peripheral side of the first thickness portion is M, and a thickness of a cross section of the second thickness portion is N. The workpiece material is rolled in such that at a completion of bending, a thickness of a cross section of a first thickness portion is m, an outer radius of the first thickness portion is R, an inner radius of the first thickness portion is r, and a thickness of a cross section of a second thickness portion is n, and M equals to m(R/r), and N equals to n(R/r).

Abstract: A bending method feeds a long workpiece material made of metal and having a plurality of thickness portions disposed at different angles between rollers and bends the workpiece material. An initial shape of the workpiece material is a straight line or a bend with a bend radius larger than a target bend radius, a thickness of a cross section of the workpiece material along a bend radius direction is set to increase from an inner side toward an outer side of the bend radius direction, the workpiece material is fed between the rollers and rolled in a way that an amount of rolling in a region corresponding to the outer side of the bend radius direction is larger than an amount of rolling in a region corresponding to the inner side, and the workpiece material is bent to have the target bend radius from the initial shape.

Abstract: An apparatus and a method are disclosed that form an anodic oxide coating on part of the outer surface of a profile having an irregular cross-sectional shape. A partial anodizing apparatus that is used to partially anodize a profile having an irregular cross-sectional shape includes an electrolytic bath that is divided into two or more partial baths. The profile is held using the two or more partial baths so that part of the profile is situated outside the electrolytic bath to form a sealed electrolysis chamber.

Abstract: A surface treatment method improves the surface properties of a metal member while maintaining the metal surface texture, and a metal member is obtained by the surface treatment method. The surface-treated metal member is obtained by bringing a solution of a fluorine-based polymer into contact with a surface of an anodic oxidation coating that is formed on a surface of a metal and has not been subjected to a sealing treatment, and subjecting the anodic oxidation coating to a steam sealing treatment, the surface-treated metal member comprising a fluorine-based polymer layer having a thickness of 100 nm or less, and a composite sealed layer that is formed continuously under the fluorine-based polymer layer, the composite sealed layer having a configuration in which the fluorine-based polymer is present inside pores formed in the anodic oxidation coating.

Abstract: A multipurpose arena with a suspended roof and an interior which can be adjusted to accommodate events requiring different space arrangements. The roof is made of sections suspended between opposed supporting pylons and assumes a catenary shape. Rail-mounted, motor-driven, stands can be shifted from place to place depending on the event or events being catered. Partitions divide the arena into separate private compartments wherein separate events can be held simultaneously in each compartment.
