Patent number: 11571921Abstract: In one aspect, the present invention relates to a thermosensitive recording medium comprising at least: —a support layer; —a thermosensitive colouring layer over the support layer, the thermosensitive colouring layer containing a leuco dye; and —a protective layer over the thermosensitive colouring layer; wherein the thermosensitive colouring layer comprises a developer having the general formula (I) below: wherein R1 to R3 each independently represent a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, a C1-C6 alkyl group, a C1-C6 alkoxyl group, a C1-C6 fluoroalkyl group; characterized in that the protective layer comprises particles of wax with an average particle size of at least 0.05 ?m and at most 2.0 ?m. In further aspects, the present invention relates to a label for attachment to a product comprising the thermosensitive recording medium of the invention, and to a consumer product package to which a thermosensitive recording medium or a label of the invention has been attached.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2019Date of Patent: February 7, 2023Assignee: Ricoh Company, Ltd.Inventors: Pauline Bie, Daiki Iwata, Erkan Kocak

Publication number: 20220275797Abstract: Provided is a diaphragm pump including: a diaphragm that forms a part of a wall part of a pump chamber having a space for housing liquid to be delivered and that is elastically deformable to reciprocate in an inward and outward direction relative to the pump chamber; and a drive unit for elastically deforming the diaphragm toward the inner side in the inward and outward direction. The diaphragm has a lower dead point located inward of a neutral position in the inward and outward direction, in which the diaphragm is not elastically deformed at the neutral position. The drive unit is configured to support the diaphragm on an outer side in the inward and outward direction when the diaphragm lies at the lower dead point after reaching the lower dead point.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 25, 2020Publication date: September 1, 2022Inventor: Daiki Iwata
