Abstract: The invention relates to a method of trace analysis of organic compounds which calls for the steps of setting a test piece in a flow cell, and thereafter removing organic compounds from the test piece by heating it at high temperature in an oven. The compounds are concentrated in a trap tube and then removed from the trap tube and carried into a concentrating/inlet unit, such as a thermal desorption cold trap injector. In this unit, cryofocusing of the compounds is performed, and then the organic compounds are introduced into a gas chromatograph to be analyzed therein, wherein a part of the purified inert gas is caused, except during the process of trapping the organic compounds, to flow into the flow cell from the direction opposite the direction from which the gas flows along the trapping line.

Abstract: An image recording apparatus has a photochromic photosensitive member with a light transmittance that is variable dependent on the light applied to it from an original that has been illuminated by a first light source. A second light source, which emits a light that the photochromic photosensitive member is insensitive to, is then used to form an electrostatic latent image on an uniformly charged photosensitive sheet with the photosensitive sheet being carried on the surface of a transfer drum past one or more developing devices in order to make the electrostatic latent image on the photosensitive sheet a visible image. A mask member film may alternatively be used between an exposure light source and the photosensitive sheet.
