Abstract: First, a user who will try a service of a print system registers trial from a user system in the print system. When the trial of the print system from the user system is permitted and registered, the print system provides an RIP processing or a printing processing to a user in response to a processing request from the registered user system within a range set for the trial without charge or with a discount accounting.

Abstract: A method for producing a fabric, by a loom equipped with healds, a reed and a back roller, characterized by using synthetic filament yarns as the warp yarns and the weft yarns to be supplied to the loom, using a drive system having a cam for the shedding and closing motions of the healds, and keeping the dwell angle of the healds in a range from 85 to 120 degrees. The back roller is equipped with a positive easing mechanism, and the easing quantity by the easing mechanism is adjusted in a range from about 5 to about 15 mm. Where the warp yarns positioned in the selvages of the fabric among the warp yarns are called selvage yarns and the warp yarns additionally added to the selvage yarns are called insert yarns, then the number of insert yarns per 10 selvage yarns is in a range of from 1 to 10, and one selvage yarn each and one insert yarn each are guided through each dent of the reed.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a drawn plastic product with high strength, high modulus and excellent thermal dimensional stability and a method for preparation thereof.Practically, a drawn plastic product with high strength, high modulus and excellent thermal dimensional stability is obtained by drawing a plastic product, for example, a polyester or a polyamide product, in a low temperature plasma.

Abstract: In a picture forming apparatus for reproducing original images, an image processing device separates a signal corresponding to an original image into a plurality of separated color signals, an image converter converts the color signals into recording signals wherein each of the recording signals corresponds to a different color of coloring material used by the picture forming apparatus to reproduce the original image, a determining circuit determines the minimum value of the recording signals, and a color removal circuit performs under color removal on each of the recording signals in accordance with the determined minimum value.

Abstract: A halftone image generating apparatus for use in a halftone image generating system for generating threshold value data corresponding to positions in a main scanning direction and a subsidiary scanning direction, comprising a threshold value data generating circuit for generating the threshold value data in a matrix pattern having a variable number of lines and rows, and for converting input picture image data having chromatic gradations into binary value data by comparing the input picture image data to the threshold value data, and a circuit for forming a scanning mesh dot image corresponding to the input picture image data.

Abstract: An edge processing system for use in a color image processing device for reproducing images having a plurality of colors through its execution of repeated developing processes for the individual recording signals of the developed colors, comprises a low-pass digital filter for eliminating mesh dot components of the recording signals to smooth halftone images; a high-pass digital filter for detecting an edge part composed of high frequency components of the recording signals; a hue detector for detecting the hue of the recording signals to produce hue signals; an edge emphasizing signal generator for generating edge emphasizing signals according to the hue signals of the hue detecting means and the output signals of the high-pass digital filter; and a synthesizer for modulating and synthesizing the edge emphasizing signals and the output signals of the low-pass digital filter.

Abstract: A method of gradation and selection of micro picture elements in a picture display where the picture is reproduced as a plurality of dots each corresponding to a picture element comprised of a plurality of micro picture elements. Each picture element is shaped and the gradation selected such that the number of colored micro picture elements in point-contact of contiguous picture elements is not larger than two.

Abstract: An apparatus for draining condensate from vapor equipment comprises a cylindrical casing connected in fluid communication with the vapor equipment and defining a flow path for conveying vapor and condensate, an orifice disk disposed in the casing to traverse the flow path and having a plurality of orifices formed therein, and at least one partition disposed in the casing upstream or downstream of the orifice disk with a predetermined spacing therefrom, the partition covering a predetermined portion of the flow path. The structure is applicable to a variety of valves including sluice and ball valves.

Abstract: A method for producing bread crumbs comprising: forming a mixture obtained by adding 0.5-6.0% soy bean protein to wheat flour and mixing therein salt, fats, emulsifier, pH adjustor, coloring matter and flavoring material as secondary material, adding .alpha.-converted starch to the mixture, adding water thereto without adding yeast, thereafter heating and pressing the mixture by an extruder to extrude the mixture from a die into a rope-like configuration, simultaneously therewith drawing the rope-like material at a speed greater than the extrusion speed to produce bubbles and rope-like material, flattening a section of the bubbles and rope-like material, cutting and crushing the material, and drying the same.

Abstract: A cyclone type particle separator comprising a lower cone with a particle outlet, an intermediate cylinder and an upper truncated cone. An inlet is opened at the intermediate cylinder tangentially or involutedly thereof and adjacent to the upper end of the lower cone so that the particle-laden gas can freely spiral upward in the intermediate cylinder and the upper truncated cone while the particles separated drop into the lower cone. The top wall of the upper truncated cone is spaced apart from the inlet by a suitable distance, and upper particle trapping chambers are extended tangentially and outwardly from the upper truncated cone and is contiguous with the top wall so that the particles separated in the upper truncated cone adjacent to the top wall thereof can be trapped and collected in the upper trapping chambers.

Abstract: A multi-stage particle separator provides a scroll and cylinder configuration in which the scroll establishes a swirling chamber and a first stage of separation and the cylinder establishes a continuing and second stage of separation.

Abstract: A method of controlling the capacity of a gas blower for pumping gas at a given discharge pressure involving cooling the gas at the suction side of the blower. The method is especially useful for controlling the pressure in a liquefied gas storage tank so as to maintain it substantially constant. The boil-off gas in the tank is exhausted by a gas blower and liquefied gas is injected into the boil-off gas exhausted from the tank at a point on the suction side of the blower for cooling the boil-off gas exhausted from the tank prior to its being pumped by the blower. The amount of liquefied gas injected into the boil-off gas is proportional to the pressure of the boil-off gas in the storage tank.
