Abstract: A printer includes a thermal head and a controller. The thermal head performs thermal printing on a thermosensitive medium having a background area with a background color being an unprinted color and a pre-print area, which is an area colored in advance, with a pre-print color different from the background color. The controller performs printing processing of causing the thermal head to execute the thermal printing in which a print area, which includes at least a part of the pre-print area, of the thermosensitive medium is printed with a print color different from both the background color and the pre-print color, and an overlapping area of the pre-print area, which overlaps with the print area, is printed with a specific color different from the pre-print color.

Abstract: A print information processing system includes a terminal device, and a server. The terminal controller controls an image capturing device to capture an image representing at least part of a cassette and acquiring the captured image. The cassette accommodates print medium therein. A server storage stores information concerning a specific content including at least one of print data and information available for editing the print data. The system performs a detection process detecting the cassette by analyzing the captured image and a determination process determining whether the detected cassette satisfies a specific condition. The server controller performs an information transmission process transmitting the information concerning the specific content to the terminal device in a case where the determination process determines that the detected cassette satisfies the specific condition.

Abstract: The disclosure discloses an adhesive tape cartridge including an adhesive tape roll. The adhesive tape roll winds an adhesive tape around a predetermined axis in a housing. The adhesive tape includes a base layer, and a first particle-containing adhesive layer. The first particle-containing adhesive layer is disposed on first side of the base layer in a thickness direction and comprises an adhesive to which particles having an average particle diameter of 10 ?m or more are added. On condition that the first particle-containing adhesive layer is virtually divided into two equal parts as a first region on the first side in the thickness direction and an second region on an second side in the thickness direction, a volume proportion of the particles to the adhesive in the second region is larger than a volume proportion of the particles to the adhesive in the first region.

Abstract: A test chip includes a substrate, a lid member, a separation portion, a first flow path, and a first holding portion. The substrate includes a surface on which a flow path is formed. The lid member covers the surface of the substrate. By centrifugal force, the separation portion separates components of a test object liquid into a separated component and a residual component having a larger specific gravity than a specific gravity of the separated component. The first flow path guides the separated component from the separation portion to a receiving portion. The first holding portion holds at least part of the residual component overflowing from the separation portion in a case where the separated component separated in the separation portion is moved from the separation portion to the receiving portion. The first holding portion is connected to at least one of the separation portion and the first flow path.

Abstract: A test object receptacle, capable of measuring a test object in a wide range of concentrations with good accuracy and within a short time, contains a plurality of fine protruding portions inside grooves. The test object receptacle can fix antigens, antibodies and test objects faster than without the protruding portions. Furthermore, the protruding portions are so formed that the surface area thereof increases gradually to the downstream with respect to the movement direction of the test object in the grooves, the detection intensity (intensity of color development) of the test object is not saturated downstream of the grooves even when the test object has a high concentration. For this reason, the test object can be detected within a short time and the measurements can be conducted within a wide concentration range.
