Abstract: Document data stored in a document storage area are extracted line by line to analyze the structure of the document data. The document layout information is extracted from the analysis result. The extracted layout information is stored, as learning data, in a document layout information learning area. In format conversion, the document data to be output, which is extracted in the same manner as described above, is converted on the basis of the learning data. Document data having a consistent layout is output to a CRT or a printer in accordance with the converted layout information.

Abstract: A composite paint film formed on a steel sheet of an automotive vehicle body. The composite paint film comprises an electrodeposition paint film (I) coated on the steel sheet, and an intermediate coat paint film (II) coated on the first paint film. The electrodeposition paint film is formed of an epoxy-based cationic electrodeposition paint composition and has a minimum melt viscosity not less than 0.2 during hardening. The epoxy-based cationic electrodeposition paint composition includes an amine-added epoxy resin (1) of the type which may be hardened with a blocked isocyanate, a colloidal silica-containing gelled particulate (2), and an alkyltin ester compound of a liquid aliphatic carboxylic acid. The above-mentioned colloidal silica-containing gelled particulate is formed by dispersing a mixture of an acrylic copolymer having a hydrolizable alkoxysilane group and a cationic group and a cationic acidic colloidal silica in water to carry out a cross-linking reaction in particles of the colloidal silica.

Abstract: When laser rays are radiated on metallic compounds sucn as oxides, hydroxides, sulfides, carbonates, chromates and titanates, colors of these metallic compounds can be changed at high speeds. By application of this discoloration technique, it is made possible to cause discoloration selectively even at very minute areas of molded articles of these metallic compounds. Therefore, this technique can be applied advantageously and effectivey to recording, image reproduction and formation of electric circuits. If these metallic compounds especially oxides, are made semiconductors prior to irradiation of laser rays, the discoloration effects can be greatly enhanced. In conducting this method, laser rays having a wavelength from the visible to infrared region can be effectively employed.
