  • Patent number: 7463395
    Abstract: A method for recording information into a rewritable thermal label of a non-contact type by irradiation with a laser beam is provided. When a prescribed drawing is conducted by irradiation with a laser beam focused on the rewritable thermal label of a non-contact type using an optical scanning apparatus, the optical scanning apparatus is driven continuously without activating oscillation for the laser beam, and the drawing is conducted by activating the oscillation for the laser beam and scanning with the laser beam only when a locus of a laser beam which would be emitted if the oscillation for the laser beam would be active (a virtual laser beam) moves at a substantially uniform speed. Damages to the recording face of a recording medium after repeated recording and erasure of information by a non-contact method are decreased, and the recording medium can be used repeatedly 1,000 times or more.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6703121
    Abstract: Provided is an adhesive sheet for a precision electronic member which generates less amount of gas under high temperature atmosphere and which is suited as a low polluting adhesive sheet for a precision electronic member. The adhesive sheet for a precision electronic member has an adhesive layer comprising an acrylic copolymer obtained by copolymerizing a monomer mixture which comprises alkyl (meth)acrylate having 4 or less carbon atoms in an alkyl group and vinyl acetate in a proportion of 50:50 to 99.5:0.5 in terms of a weight ratio and in which a total content thereof is 80% by weight or more, wherein an amount of gas generated in heating at a temperature of 120° C. for 10 minutes is 1.0 &mgr;g/cm2 or less in terms of a n-decane amount.

  • Patent number: 6040026
    Abstract: There are disclosed a pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet which comprises a substrate sheet, a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer formed on one side of the substrate sheet and a release layer comprising a cured product from an ionizing radiation-curing type releasable resin formed on the other side of the substrate sheet; and a laminate which comprises a plurality of these pressure-sensitive adhesive sheets that are superimposed on one another so that the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer and the release layer directly face each other and the whole surfaces of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layers are covered with the release layers. The above pressure-sensitive adhesive sheets and the laminate formed therefrom can be produced with good workability with a simplified apparatus without the generation of curls, and thus are well suited for use as display labels etc.
