  • Patent number: 11958921
    Abstract: To provide a disposable diaper enabling reduction in re-wet amount and having an excellent speed of incorporating liquid regardless of concentration and configuration of a water-absorbing agent in an absorbent material. A water-absorbing agent having excellent Gel Capillary Absorption (GCA) and Free Gel Bed Permeability (FGBP) is obtained by crushing a crosslinked hydrogel polymer obtained in a polymerization step to have a specific weight average particle diameter while fluid retention capacity and a surface tension of a water-absorbing agent are adjusted in a specific range, drying the crushed crosslinked hydrogel polymer, and then adding a liquid permeability enhancer thereto during surface crosslinking or after surface crosslinking.

  • Patent number: 4811242
    Abstract: A controller for a Chinese character printer, or the like, includes a pattern buffer into which character pattern data is written by an input control unit transferring the character pattern data from a temporary input buffer. The character pattern data is transferred from the character pattern buffer into a font memory by an output control unit only during a non-printing period, such as during a paper feed, of the printer. Print data, including character codes, are transferred by the input control unit from the input buffer to a page buffer. During a printing period, the output control unit selects character pattern data in the font memory in accordance with the character codes in the page buffer and transfers the corresponding character pattern data to a pattern converting unit which sends appropriate print signal data based on the character pattern data to the printer.
