Abstract: A printing apparatus including a transport guiding portion with high manufacturing yield, is provided. A printing apparatus includes a printing portion which is able to print on a medium, a transport portion which transports the medium, and a transport guiding portion on which a transport surface on which the medium is transported is formed and which has a plurality of bent portions, in which the transport guiding portion is provided with a first guiding member which has a bent portion and forms the transport surface on a transport direction upstream side of the medium and a second guiding member which has a bent portion and forms the transport surface on a transport direction downstream side of the medium.

Abstract: The system for treating ships' ballast water, which is attached to a ship that sails a sea route having a plurality of calling ports, comprises: a disinfectant reservoir that stores a disinfectant; a data acquisition means that acquires stored disinfectant information regarding a remaining amount and an effective chlorine concentration of a disinfectant stored in the disinfectant reservoir; a data storage means that stores supplier information regarding a disinfectant supplier at each of the plurality of calling ports and sea route information regarding a call sequence and a call schedule for the plurality of calling ports; and a data calculation means that determines whether or not an order for the disinfectant has to be placed, on the basis of the stored disinfectant information.

Abstract: A liquid ejecting apparatus includes: a transport roller that transports a medium in a transport direction; a head that moves in a direction orthogonal to the transport direction, and ejects liquid to the medium; a cutter that moves in the transport direction and the orthogonal direction and cuts a part of the medium positioned in a predetermined range from a first position to a second position in the transport direction; and a controller that performs a first process of forming an image on the medium by controlling the transport roller to transport the medium in the transport direction and controlling the head moving in the orthogonal direction to eject the liquid, and performs a second process of forming a cutting line on the medium by controlling the cutter to cut the part of the medium over the predetermined range during the first process.

Abstract: A liquid discharge apparatus includes a transportation portion which transports a medium in a transportation direction, a cutting portion which moves in an intersection direction intersecting with the transportation direction and cuts the medium, and a head portion which is provided so as to be aligned with the cutting portion in the intersection direction, has a cutout portion on which the cutting portion is arranged, moves in the intersection direction and discharges liquid onto the medium.

Abstract: The separation material for separating and recovering a blood coagulation factor comprises a porous matrix having linked thereon one or more ligands each consisting of a radical exhibiting an affinity for the blood coagulation factor to be recovered, said matrix having a specific surface area of at least 1.5 m.sup.2 per milliliter of the separation material with respect to pores having diameters of at least 0.1 .mu.m and being derived from a porous particulate material having an exclusion limit molecular weight of at least 1.5.times.1.sup.6 as determined with polyethylene glycol. The separation material is prepared by the process steps of subjecting a porous particulate material having an exclusion limit molecular weight of at least 1.5.times.10.sup.

Abstract: A process for dewatering aqueous sludges of organic nature by adding to the sludge a cationic organic flocculant to effect a first stage agitation of vigorous intensity, and then adding thereto an anionic organic flocculant to perform a second stage agitation of mild intensity and subjecting the thus formed flocs to a dewatering operation, which process comprises the use of a cationic organic flocculant composed of any combination of A- and B-components, wherein the A-component consists of one or more polymers selected from the group consisting of A.sub.1 - and A.sub.2 -components, in which the A.sub.1 -component consists of polymers having a structural unit of vinylimidazoline or partially hydrolyzed products thereof and the A.sub.
