Abstract: When a decryption-key request is transmitted from a client computer to a management server via a network apparatus, the network apparatus instead of the client computer adds location information to the decryption-key request. When the decryption-key request reaches the management server, location information stored therein is compared with location information associated with the decryption-key request. When the two pieces of the location information are the same, a decryption key is transmitted to the client computer. Thus, only when the management server receives the decryption-key request via the network apparatus which adds the specific location information to the decryption-key request, the management server transmits the decryption key to the client computer. This allows the encrypted data to be accessed within a specific area.

Abstract: There is provided an anti-bacterial mildewproofing laminate, comprising at least two films or sheets each having organic substance permeability different from one another; and at least one adhesive layer which comprises an anti-bacterial mildewproofing agent containing parachlorometaxylenol as an active ingredient, and which intervenes between the adjacent films or sheets so that they are clad to one another.

Abstract: An electron beam irradiation apparatus comprising an electron beam source which is capable of generating an electron beam and irradiating in one direction, a first magnet member having a through hole and being disposed to allow the electron beam irradiated from said electron beam source to pass therethrough, a second magnet member which is disposed opposing to the first magnet member through a gap which allows a target to pass therethrough and has the polarity different from that of the first magnet member, a target supporting/shifting means which allows the target to pass through said gap and cooling means which cools said both magnet members. A base material coated with a paste of magnetic particles is used as the target and vertical orientation of the magnetic particles and hardening of the paste can be simultaneously conducted.

Abstract: Finely divided gamma crystal phase quinacridone pigments are prepared by a process wherein a crude quinacridone of an arbitrary crystal phase is dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide in the presence of a caustic alkali and water and then a mineral acid or a mixture of a mineral acid with at least one diluent selected from water, dimethyl sulfoxide and a monohydric alcohol having 1 to 3 carbon atoms is incorporated into the so-formed solution, thereby neutralizing the caustic alkali present in the solution to precipitate a finely divided gamma phase quinacridone.

Abstract: Isoindolinone pigments of an extremely high purity, which are represented by the following general formula: ##STR1## wherein R represents a carbocyclic bridge member such as:an unsubstituted phenylene or diphenylene group,a phenylene or diphenylene group substituted by chlorine atoms, methyl groups or methoxy groups, ora group expressed by the formula ##STR2## where X is oxygen or a methylene group; or R represents a heterocyclic bridge member such as: a pyridylene group; orR represents a direct bond,are prepared by a process wherein a crude isoindolinone pigment is dispersed in an aromatic hydrocarbon; (a) an alcoholate or hydroxide of an alkali metal and (b) a lower alcohol and/or water are incorporated in the crude isoindolinone pigment dispersion thereby forming an alkali metal salt of the isoindolinone pigment; and then, the so formed pigment salt is contacted with an acid thereby hydrolyzing the pigment salt into the free acid form.

Abstract: 6,7,14,15-Tetrahydropyrido[2,1-b]pyrido[1',2':1,2]pyrimido[4,5-g]quinazolin e-7,15-dione is oxidized with a quinone as an oxidizing agent to produce 7,15-dihydropyrido[2,1-b]pyrido[1',2':1,2]pyrimido[4,5-g]quinazoline-7,15- dione.
