Abstract: Provided is a method for peeling a PSA sheet adhered on a polarizing plate. The PSA sheet has a PSA layer. The PSA layer includes a layer A forming at least one surface of the PSA layer. Of the polarizing plate, the surface to which the PSA sheet is adhered is corona-treated or plasma-treated. The peeling method includes a water-peel step in which the PSA sheet is peeled from the polarizing plate, in a state where an aqueous liquid exits at the interface between the polarizing plate and the PSA sheet at the front line of peeling the PSA sheet from the polarizing plate, with the aqueous liquid allowed to further enter the interface following the movement of the peel front line.

Abstract: A vehicle including an internal combustion engine and an automatic transmission capable of transmitting and receiving torque to and from an output shaft of the internal combustion engine is controlled. During operation of the internal combustion engine, a process that calculates a diluted water amount based on an operation state of the internal combustion engine is executed. The diluted water amount is the amount of water contained in lubricating oil in the internal combustion engine. Further, a process that controls the automatic transmission such that torque per unit period in the internal combustion engine becomes smaller when the diluted water amount is relatively large compared to when the diluted water amount is relatively small, while continuing the operation of the internal combustion engine, is executed.

Abstract: A mail enclosing and sealing apparatus (50) in which an envelope (1, 200) is pulled out from an envelope guide (54) in an envelope hopper (52) which stacks the envelopes one by one, the envelope being fed to a gripper means (60) displaced on an envelope transferring belt (58) being driven intermittently, and transferred under the movement of the belt (58) while being held by the gripper means (60), with a flap portion being opened at a given position (S2), and is then transferred to a further position (S3), with the envelope (1, 200) being opened by an opening means (62), and an enclosure (66) transferred from an other route (64) being enclosed in the envelope, then the envelope (1, 200) with the enclosure (66) is transferred to a further position (S4), then said envelope (1, 200) being displaced in a direction crossing the flow of the belt (58) and route (64) to be sealed; wherein the position adjustment of the opening means (62) and the adjustment of the side guide widthwise direction control axis (90) for

Abstract: An enclosure inserting and sealing machine of the type in which, envelopes received in an envelope hopper are delivered one by one sequentially with each envelope being centered by an envelope centering mechanism in the widthwise direction of the envelope relative to the envelope delivering line. The envelope delivered is opened at the position of an envelope opening mechanism with the front and rear sides of the envelope being respectively sucked by suction caps of the envelope opening mechanism. Enclosures such as a paper, a letter and the like are inserted into the opened flap of the envelope. At least the suction cap of the rear side of the envelope is formed in a pair in the widthwise direction of the envelope. A suction position centering mechanism is provided to drive the pair of suction caps in the widthwise direction of the envelope thereby centering the suction caps. A linkage mechanism is provided to link and drive the suction position mechanism with the envelope centering mechanism.

Abstract: A paper feeding device for a printer provides presser rollers which are located on a normal line drawn from center of a platen to a tangential line drawn from circumference of a sprocket wheel to a platen circumference. Thus, papers are stiffened and stable paper feeding is maintained.
