  • Patent number: 6889606
    Abstract: A conversion curve setting system comprises an initial data storage device, a conversion curve display device, a setting device, a past data storage device and a past data display device. The initial data storage device stores the initial data. The initial data define setting conditions for amounts of supplied ink of an ink supply adjusting apparatus relative to an image area ratio. The conversion curve display device displays a conversion curve on a display device on the basis of the initial data stored by the initial data storage device. The setting device sets the setting conditions for the amounts of supplied ink of the ink supply adjusting apparatus relative to the image area ratio, through operation by an operator. The past data storage device stores past data of the setting conditions for the amounts of supplied ink of the ink supply adjusting apparatus relative to the image area ratio, which setting conditions have been set by the setting device.

  • Patent number: 6046119
    Abstract: Disclosed is a heat-retaining, moisture-permeable, waterproof fabric having a highly moisture-absorbing and releasing organic fine particles immobilized on at least one surface of an unprocessed fabric (base fabric) with a moisture-permeable waterproof resin. The fabric is capable of generating heat by the absorption of moisture.

  • Patent number: 6029577
    Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to provide a dampening volume control apparatus capable of shortening a period of time for adjusting a desired value of characteristics. A switch SW1 is a switch for switching the apparatus either in an automatic control mode or a manual control mode. A dampening volume of the dampening solution being stored in a manual dampening volume storing means 21 is varied by adjusting a switch SW21 and/or a switch 22. Revolution speed of a motor 25 is controlled by a controller 23 in accordance with the dampening volume thus varied. The switch SW1 is turned to the automatic control mode when the operator judges that quality of printing done on the printed papers is qualified to the criteria. The revolution speed of the motor 25 is controlled so as to make the dampening volume on the plate surface coincide with the volume corresponding to the desired value during the automatic control condition.
