Patent number: 9221292Abstract: A label includes an optical function layer configured to pass light of a certain wavelength, a light absorption pattern facing one major surface of the optical function layer and configured to absorb the light of the wavelength, and a light reflecting layer facing the other major surface of the optical function layer and configured to reflect the light of the wavelength. The light reflecting layer is configured to raise an absorbance at the wavelength when heated.Type: GrantFiled: March 27, 2014Date of Patent: December 29, 2015Assignees: TOPPAN PRINTING CO., LTD., SEIKO EPSON CORPORATIONInventors: Satoshi Gocho, Atsushi Kijima, Yoshihiro Koizumi, Masaru Takahashi, Takakazu Fukano

Patent number: 8646888Abstract: An ink cartridge has a label portion on a wall surface of one periphery of a case forming an ink accommodating unit. The label unit has a lamination structure in which a plurality of layers with different properties and states are laminated, and includes an optical functional layer that allows light (first wavelength of light) with a predetermined wavelength to pass and an optical reflective layer that reflects the first wavelength of light, and the optical reflective layer is a surface side of the case. When the optical reflective layer is heated from a thermal head of a heating unit directed to the label portion, the optical reflective layer irreversibly raises absorptivity of the first wavelength of light with respect to a received range.Type: GrantFiled: October 1, 2012Date of Patent: February 11, 2014Assignee: Seiko Epson CorporationInventors: Satoshi Gocho, Atsushi Kijima, Yoshihiro Koizumi, Yoshihiro Nakamura, Akihito Matsumoto, Takeshi Iwamuro, Nobumasa Fukushima, Masaru Takahashi, Takakazu Fukano

Patent number: 6955839Abstract: According to the present invention, there is provided a laminated composite including an optical layer having a light reflectivity, and a latent image formation layer containing a liquid crystalline polymer material and provided on one of major surfaces of the optical layer, wherein the latent image formation layer includes at least one oriented portion in an orientation state and at least one non-oriented portion in a non-orientation state, and the oriented and non-oriented portions constitute a latent image which is unrecognizable by a direct visual observation and recognizable by a visual observation through a polarizing member. Also, according to the present invention, there is provided an information recording medium and a member of imparting a forgery-preventing characteristic including such a latent image formation layer.Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 2001Date of Patent: October 18, 2005Assignee: Toppan Printing Co., Ltd.Inventors: Satoshi Gocho, Atsushi Kijima, Akira Kubo, Noriyuki Ito, Naoaki Shindo

Patent number: 6755279Abstract: A controllable muffler system is sued for use with an engine that produces a power by burning fuel. The system comprises a first passage section extending from the engine for having an exhaust gas of the engine flow therethrough. The first passage section has a catalytic converter mounted thereon. The system further comprises a dual passage section including second and third passage sections which extend separately from an end of the first passage section. The second passage has a control valve for controlling the flow rate of the exhaust gas flowing therethrough. The system further comprises a fourth passage section extending from respective ends of the second and third passage sections to the open air. The fourth passage section has a rear muffler mounted thereon. The system further comprises a control unit which controls the control valve of the second passage section in accordance with an operation condition of the engine.Type: GrantFiled: September 12, 2001Date of Patent: June 29, 2004Assignees: Calsonic Kansei Corporation, Nissan Motor Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yukio Kaneko, Tanomo Norikawa, Shinichi Horiuchi, Kai Takeuchi, Atsushi Kijima

Patent number: 5278129Abstract: A rewritable thermosensitive recording medium having a recording layer, the transparency of which reversibly changes depending on the temperature thereof. Further, the recording layer contains a matrix material and an organic low-molecular-weight material dispersed in the matrix material as main components thereof. Moreover, an alicyclic dicarboxylic acid compound is added to the organic low-molecular-weight material dispersed in the matrix material. Furthermore, by adding the alicyclic dicarboxylic acid compound to the organic low-molecular-weight material, the eutectic point of the organic low-molecular-weight material and the alicyclic dicarboxylic acid compound becomes higher than the melting point of the organic low-molecular-weight material.Type: GrantFiled: November 6, 1992Date of Patent: January 11, 1994Assignee: Toppan Printing Co., Ltd.Inventors: Niro Watanabe, Atsushi Kijima, Yuji Nakatsu, Susumu Watanabe

Patent number: 4152465Abstract: Green beany flavors and odors characteristic of soybean can be removed to a satisfactory extent from a textured soy protein by a method comprising (i) the first step of treatment wherein the soy protein is retained at a temperature of from 80.degree. to 145.degree. C. for a suitable period of time while the water content of said soy protein is maintained at a predetermined value, and (ii) the second step of treatment wherein said moistened soy protein treated in the first step is kept in contact with a flow of superheated steam at a temperature of from 105.degree. to 160.degree. C.Type: GrantFiled: July 1, 1977Date of Patent: May 1, 1979Assignee: Meiji Seika Kaisha, Ltd.Inventors: Atsushi Kijima, Shigenobu Tozaki, Masahiko Yamada
