Abstract: An apparatus for controlling ink supply by varying the opening degree of an ink fountain key according to a measured density of a printed matter includes a control means for determining a reference correction value of the opening degree of the ink fountain key according to a density difference between a target density of the printed matter or a reference density and a measured density, and determining a correction value by multiplying the reference correction value by a coefficient having a value of more than 1. The control means controls the ink fountain key according to the correction value of the opening degree of the ink fountain key until the number of sheets printed from the start of the printing exceeds a predetermined number, and controls the ink fountain key according to the reference correction value after the number of sheets printed exceeds the predetermined number.

Abstract: Prior to printing work, the operator of the printing machine selectively inputs a kind of the printing paper (such as one of coated paper, mat-coated paper, and non-coated paper and so on) through a paper-type input portion 17.

Abstract: Solid-patches 11, 12, and 13 each printed with color-inks of cyan, magenta, yellow, and a gray patch 14 included in a color bar 15 are printed on a printed-matter 10. A measuring and calculation device 4 measures actual ink densities at each of the solid-patches and gray patches in the color bars 15 and obtains differential values between the actual ink densities and target ink densities at the gray patch 14. Then, both the amount of the primary-color-component and that of the color-impurity-component at the solid patches 11, 12, and 13 are respectively substituted into equations at every detection of the differential values and that of the gray patches. In this way, ink supply volume is adjusted as a result of converting the differential values into primary-color-component differential amount in each of the color-inks.

Abstract: A method of making a combination concrete panel wall, concrete window frame, and concrete sash glazing frame. The sill, lintel, and jambs of the window frame are fiber-reinforced concrete extrusions which are cut to length and cemented together. The hardened frame is placed in a concrete panel molding frame to locate and define a window opening. The concrete panel wall grout is then poured and dovetail-type mortise and tenon joints are precast in the exterior faces of the window frame which abut the poured concrete wall panel plastic grout, to permanently mold and interlock the window frame to the panel wall. The sash members are fitted about a window pane which is located in interior grooves in the sash members and then glazed. Sealing means interconnect the sash to the window frame to provide a condensation-resistant, water-tight, air-tight, heat and fire-resistant concrete wall closure.

Abstract: When forming a zinc-deposited base material for metallized capacitors, a primer layer for zinc-deposition made from at least one compound selected from the group comprised of an oxide of silicon, titanium and zirconium is formed on at feast one side surface of a base body comprised of a film or a thin condenser paper. Next, a zinc-deposited layer is formed on top of the primer layer. Then, a protective layer made from at least one compound selected from the group comprised of silicon-based oil, fluoro-based oil, alkylnaphthalene, polydiphenylether, fatty acids, fatty acid salts and paraffin wax is formed on top of the zinc-deposited layer. In this way, it becomes possible to form a zinc-deposited base material having excellent moisture resistance when used for metallized capacitors.
