  • Patent number: 10826031
    Abstract: The present invention provides a gasket for an alkaline battery which enables such a long lifetime that liquid leakage due to carbides of a polyamide resin raw material does not occur, surface wrinkles are hardly generated because of excellent fluidity during molding, and a thin wall portion serving as an explosion-proof safety valve can be normally ruptured until the lifetime of an alkaline battery expires, and a method for manufacturing the same. The gasket for an alkaline battery is formed by injection molding a resin composition, and has a thin wall portion in part. The resin composition is a polyamide 610 resin composition containing a polyamide 610 resin as a main component and a molding aid such as a release agent and a crystal nucleating agent, the polyamide 610 resin having a viscosity number in a range of 80 ml/g or more and 145 ml/g or less.

  • Patent number: 7397572
    Abstract: A printer and a printing method are capable of greatly improving printing efficiency. In a printer and a printing method for printing a first image based on supplied first print data on a printing medium, when a predetermined operation mode is selected, second print data for a frame image formed by arranging second images of several kinds obtained by applying image processing different from each other to the first image, in a predetermined arrangement pattern and then, the frame image based on the second print data is printed on the printing medium. Therefore, it is possible to greatly shorten the time for obtaining a printing medium in which the image processing is performed in a desired sate and to previously avoid the printing medium from being wasted. Thus, it is possible to realize the printer and the printing method capable of greatly improving the printing efficiency.
