Abstract: A laminated body for printing with a temporary display layer is configured so that the temporary display layer capable of being peeled, which includes at least one layer capable of printing and displaying, and a substrate layer including at least one layer are laminated. A surface side of the temporary display layer that does not contact with the substrate layer has a property of absorbing ink that contains a sublimable dye and includes a resin composition that does not generate a blocking phenomenon during a heat treatment for sublimating the sublimable dye to diffuse into the substrate layer and to dye the substrate layer. This laminated body allows the dye in the temporary display layer to sublimate by the application of heat so as to print an image in the substrate layer. By peeling the temporary display layer, original display can be presented with excellent long term durability and dimensional stability against heat.

Abstract: A transmit packet generated by a CPU 1 is held in a buffer 100a (100b). From among packets received from Ethernet 820a (820b), a packet, a destination of which is a communication device 800, is held in the buffer 100a (100b). A packet which should be transmitted is transmitted from a transfer judging circuit 200 to Ethernet 820a or 820b through a MAC unit 300a or 300b. If a transfer judging circuit 200 judges a packet from the Ethernet 820a to be a packet, a destination of which is another communication device, with reference to a destination MAC address, this packet is transferred to the Ethernet 820b through MAC 300b. If a usage rate of a transferring FIFO buffer 130a (130b) exceeds a threshold value in the process of transmitting a packet held in a transmitting FIFO buffer 120a (130b) on a priority basis, the priority order of a transfer packet is made higher than that of a transmit packet so that the transfer packet is transferred to the Ethernet 820a or 820b in preference to the transmit packet.

Abstract: A primary winding of a transformer is serially connected to a horizontal deflection coil. An amplitude regulating circuit outputs a first correction voltage in response to a voltage generated on a secondary winding of the transformer. A phase regulating circuit regulates the phase of the first correction voltage output from the amplitude regulating circuit and outputs a second correction voltage. An addition circuit adds the second correction voltage to a sawtooth wave voltage generated by a sawtooth wave voltage generation circuit. A correction current output from an amplifier in response to the second correction voltage output from the phase regulating circuit cancels a current component generated on a vertical deflection coil by a horizontal deflection current.
