Abstract: A decorative sheet for vacuum forming is difficult to peel off during vacuum forming between a first vinyl chloride-based resin layer and a second vinyl chloride-based resin layer and can give a design of various colors. This decorative sheet for vacuum forming includes: a first vinyl chloride-based resin layer containing a vinyl chloride-based resin and a coloring agent; and a second vinyl chloride-based resin layer which is laminated on the first vinyl chloride-based resin layer, contains a vinyl chloride-based resin, and is transparent, wherein the content of titanium oxide particles of the coloring agent is less than 1 part by mass, the first vinyl chloride-based resin layer contains inorganic particles, and at least some of the inorganic particles are calcium carbonate particles.

Abstract: A stainable decorative sheet having good adhesion between a paper base material and a nonwoven fabric with a surface excellent in tactile sensation and stainability, excellent transparency, and a method for coloring the stainable decorative sheet. The stainable decorative sheet includes a paper base material, an adhesive layer, a nonwoven fabric layer, and a transparency improving layer in a predetermined structure, wherein the nonwoven fabric layer partially has a filling part A and a filling part B in a part of voids among fibers of the nonwoven fabric layer.

Abstract: A decorative material including: a substrate; and a pattern formation layer provided on one surface of the substrate, the pattern formation layer having projections and recesses, wherein the pattern formation layer includes a plurality of areas that are arranged thereon and distinguished by difference in a surface profile, the surface profile of the first area is a rough surface, the surface profile of the second area includes a plurality of aligned projecting lines, the projecting lines each having a width of at least 10 ?m and less than 250 ?m, a height of more than 3 ?m and less than 350 ?m, and an interval to a projecting line adjacent thereto of more than 10 ?m and less than 160 ?m, and the surface profile of the third area is a smooth surface.

Abstract: The present invention provides a decorative sheet for recoating, in which the recoating layer is laminated with a sufficient adhesive strength, and the recoating layer has satisfactory ink receptivity for retaining a colorant. The decorative sheet for recoating includes: a base material; a recoating layer that is provided on at least one surface side of the base material, contains thermoplastic resin fibers as fibers of a constituent component, and has spaces among the fibers; and an adhesion layer between the base material and the recoating layer, which has been formed by melt deposition or flow deposition of at least a part of the thermoplastic resin fibers.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to an application programming interface. More specifically, the present invention relates to an application programming interface designed for handling interaction between an audio/video controller and an audio/video file system. In one exemplary embodiment, the application programming interface includes a number of function calls which direct the audio/video file system to perform a variety of functions. In addition, the application programming interface permits devices capable of handling different types of data, such as isochronous and asynchronous data, to communicate with the audio/video file system.

Abstract: A method of reading multimedia information which is capable of realizing optimal data access in consideration of the type and content of data to be accessed and the relationship to other data during access. The method involves reading first and second information from a storage medium, multiplexed with each other, where response time guarantee is of relatively higher importance for the first information and reliability is of relatively higher importance for the second information. Management of the read time is performed on both the first and second information. A plurality of processing methods are pre-defined as error countermeasure methods for the case where an error occurs in information read out when reading the first or second information in units of predetermined amounts. When reading information, one of the plurality of error countermeasure processing methods is selected and set for use.
