Abstract: A photosensitive transfer material comprises a temporary substrate having provided thereon an alkali-soluble thermoplastic resin layer, an intermediate layer, and a photosensitive resin layer in this order, the interlaminar adhesion in the transfer material being the smallest at the interface between the thermoplastic resin layer and the temporary substrate. The photosensitive resin layer can be transferred to a permanent substrate without involving failure due to fine dust, air bubbles or unevenness of the permanent substrate. An image can be formed with the transfer material by adhering the transfer material to a permanent substrate at least under heat and, after stripping the temporary substrate, imagewise exposing the photosensitive resin layer to light, and processing the transferred layers to develop the photosensitive resin layer.

Abstract: A light sensitive transfer material comprises a peel-off support, an alkali-soluble thermoplastic resin layer, a water- or aqueous alkali-soluble or -dispersible interlayer having a low oxygen permeability, and a light sensitive resin layer arranged in this order, wherein the adhesion between the peel-off support and the thermoplastic resin layer is the smallest. A process for forming an image using the transfer material is also disclosed.

Abstract: A photosensitive transfer material is described, comprising a temporary support having formed thereon in sequence a thermoplastic resin layer, a separating layer having only slight permeability to oxygen, and a photosensitive resin layer, wherein the adhesion between the thermoplastic resin layer and the separating layer is weakest. The photosensitive transfer material is useful, for example, for an image-forming process.

Abstract: A numerical control system for controlling a plurality of axes with a plurality of functional arrangements includes a controller bus (1) having a plurality of slots, a plurality of controllers (10, 20, 30) each of which can read, decode, and execute numerical control commands for a group of axes. The controllers are connected to the channel bus (1), and axis control modules (3, 4) for controlling a plurality of servomotors. The controllers (10, 20, 30) share processing operations and use common peripherals, making the numerical control system flexible.

Abstract: A position correcting system is incorporated in a machine tool having a plurality of workpiece machining positions. A control block (80) has a position correcting register (81) for storing position correctives corresponding to the respective workpiece machining positions. Distributed data (X1, Z1) are calculated from a machining program (71) by a pre-processing means (72). The position correctives (.DELTA.X1, .DELTA.Z1) are added to the distributed data (X1, Z1) by an adder (82), which outputs position commands for machining heads corresponding to the workpiece machining positions. In response to the position commands, an interpolating unit (83) carries out pulse interpolation and produce output pulses. Such control blocks (80, 90, 100) are associated with the respective machining heads. Errors between the workpieces and the machining heads are corrected in all the machining positions, so that the workpieces can be machined with accuracy.

Abstract: A method of producing a polychromatic colored image with clear fine patterns, comprising the steps of:(a) contacting a light-sensitive colored resin layer, provided on a temporary support transmissive of ultraviolet rays with an adhesive layer provided on a permanent support;(b) imagewise exposing the light-sensitive colored resin layer to a pattern through the temporary support;(c) peeling the temporary support from the imagewise exposed resin layer;(d) developing the imagewise exposed colored resin layer to form a colored resin pattern on the adhesive layer;(e) embedding the colored resin pattern into the surface of the adhesive layer by applying pressure through a material having a surface energy lower than that of both the colored resin pattern and the adhesive layer;(f) contacting a light-sensitive resin layer of another image-forming material colored in a tint different from resin layers previously formed on the adhesive layer with the adhesive layer; and(g) repeating the exposure, development and embed

Abstract: Disclosed is a spindle control system of a numerical control apparatus capable of independently controlling a plurality of spindles by a plurality of paths. Connecting relationships between respective paths (11 to 14) and respective spindles (61 to 65) are defined in a region (3), the content of the region (3) is changed by a machining program to change the spindles (61 to 65) to be controlled by the respective paths (11 to 14), whereby a more effectively machining can be realized.

Abstract: A numerical control apparatus according to the invention has a mode designating interface for deciding a control mode and an interface which receives position and velocity commands, these interfaces being interposed between the apparatus and a servo-processor. A mode for controlling the servomotor is automatically decided internally of the numerical control apparatus. Changeover is possible in which the servomotor is used as a motor for positional control or in order to control rotational velocity in the manner of a spindle motor to achieve continuous rotation.
