  • Publication number: 20120021176
    Abstract: Plastic-worked lumber. PW1 and PW2 has air-dried specific gravity twice or more than those of lumber before processing NW1 and NW2 and acute crossing angles within a range of 45 degrees or less. The acute crossing angles are formed by all of annual ring lines RL on a butt end surface of the plastic-worked lumber PW1 or PW2 and a heart-side cross grain surface or a pith-side straight grain surface of the plastic-worked lumber PW1 or PW2. The plastic-worked lumber PW1 and PW2 is prepared by heating and compression to lumber NW1 or NW2 so that the lumber NW1 or NW2 is heated and compressed in a thickness direction thereof and plastically worked.

  • Patent number: 5739834
    Abstract: A master electric charge retaining medium 2 having electrostatic charge information recorded thereon is disposed face-to-face with a reproductive electric charge retaining medium 3, and a voltage is applied between the respective electrodes of the two electric charge retaining media to induce an electric discharge, thereby inversely reproducing the electrostatic charge information on the reproductive electric charge retaining medium, as shown in FIG. 2(b). It is possible to effect the reproduction any number of times while preventing the lowering in the contrast of the master electric charge retaining medium by making the electrostatic capacity of the master electric charge retaining medium adequately larger than the electrostatic capacity of the reproductive electric charge retaining medium.

  • Patent number: 5635971
    Abstract: The electrostatic information recording medium of the invention has on at least an electrode an information recording layer comprising a product obtained by contact of a polymer having a fluorine-containing aliphatic ring structure with fluorine gas, on which layer a latent image charge trap is retained. This electrostatic information recording medium enables electrostatic information such as an electrostatic latent image to be recorded in the form of a charge trap rather than an electrostatic charge, and so may be used as an electrostatic printing master by way of example.

  • Patent number: 5497179
    Abstract: A charge carrier medium 1 including an insulating layer 11 laminated on an electrically conductive layer 12 with an electrostatic latent image 2 recorded on the insulating layer 11 is brought into contact with water, etc., to resurrect the attenuated potential. Alternatively, the charge carrier medium 1 is previously immersed in water, etc., to deposit onto the surface thereof charges opposite in polarity to those of the electrostatic latent image 2 generated by charging, thereby attenuating the surface potential. This makes any external access to the image information impossible. In reading the image information, a PET film 5 or the like is brought into close contact with the surface of the charge carrier medium 1, and is then peeled apart from that surface to remove the charges of the opposite polarity and thereby resurrect the image information for reading.

  • Patent number: 5450168
    Abstract: A charge carrier medium (41) is successively fed to a rotating (or reciprocating) photosensitive material (40) in opposite relation thereto. Making use of a beam or linear slit scanning exposure system or a planar exposure system enabling one frame to be scanned every 1/60 sec., for instance, the exposure timing is allowed to synchronize with the movement of the photosensitive material (40) and the feed of the charge carrier medium (14) to record images successively on the medium by either voltage-applied exposure or short-circuit exposure in which the charge carrier medium is pre-charged, whereby the images can be picked up as moving images. At the same time, the photosensitive material (40) is irradiated with light from the charge-clearing light source (45) to clear it of a residual charged image. Alternatively, such leakage of charges may be achieved by bringing an electrically conductive member into contact with the photosensitive material, charging it uniformly as by d.c. or a.c.

  • Patent number: 5298947
    Abstract: The present invention provides an image-recording process wherein the voltage applied between a photosensitive member 2 and electrostatic information recording medium 1 is put off after the lapse of a given time from the closing of an exposure shutter 13. It is thus possible to move all the generated carriers onto electrostatic information recording medium 1 and accumulate them as charges in an amount corresponding to the quantity of exposure irrespective of a voltage shutter time. It is also possible to electrically charge electrostatic information recording medium 1 or the photosensitive member 2 in advance and put on-off an electrical connection between the electrodes of the photosensitive member 2 and electrostatic information recording medium 1 to control image exposure, thereby dispensing with any external high voltage power source and obtaining a positive image.
