  • Patent number: 8310713
    Abstract: The printer successively stores the objects contained in the PDF file as they are transmitted from the PC, and conducts the printing process for said specific page when it judges that all the objects necessary for displaying said page are stored. Also, when a memory overflow occurs, it successively prints out content objects contained in the constituent data of the PDF file stored in the RAM, while assigning identification names, and deletes the data for the content objects already printed out from the RAM so that additional constituent data of the PDF file can be received successively. It finally generates and prints out the table of contents based on the identification names of the content object and the information of the page object and the page list object. Thus, it is possible to form images directly receiving a document file such as a PDF file on a printer with a limited usable memory capacity.

  • Patent number: 5360835
    Abstract: Radiation-curable polyurethane emulsion compositions that can be diluted with water are disclosed. An emulsion of a polyurethane having active amino groups is prepared, and the emulsion is reacted, in the presence of water, with an isocyanate compound having a polymerizable unsaturated group to introduce the polymerizable unsaturated group into the polyurethane. The introduction of a polymerizable unsaturated group into the polyurethane is accomplished in the presence of water, thereby overcoming prior art problems of polymerization and gelation during the preparation of the emulsion. The present invention provides radiation-curable polyurethane emulsion compositions that can be produced on an industrial scale.
