Abstract: A flexible resin layer, on the surface of which an uneven pattern corresponding to information to be recorded is formed, and a reflection layer formed on the uneven pattern of the resin layer and having light reflectivity are provided to thereby constitute a flexible optical information recording medium. Further, the resin layer is supported by a flexible supporting layer. For manufacturing such a flexible optical information recording medium, a resin liquid, which can be hardened by irradiation of ultraviolet rays or electron rays, is filled between an ultraviolet ray or electron ray transmissible base film serving as the supporting layer and an uneven pattern original block. Ultraviolet rays or electron rays are then irradiated through the base film to harden and give form to the resin liquid on the base film, thereafter to exfoliate it. For another manufacturing method, a resin layer is formed on an ultraviolet ray or electron ray transmissible base film to form a rolled transfer film.

Abstract: An object such as a food packaging material is sterilized first by immersion in a nontoxic sterilizing liquid and then by exposure to ultraviolet irradiation. The sterilizing liquid can be either an organic acid solution or hot water. Alternatively, the object is simultaneously treated with both sterilizing agents, by being irradiated with ultraviolet rays while being dipped in the sterilizing liquid. The liquid is reconditioned, as by filtration and ultraviolet irradiation while being recirculated through a closed circuit. The apparatus is disclosed as adapted for the sterilization of a continuous strip of food packaging film.

Abstract: A long sheet material to be sterilized is passed through an atmosphere of H.sub.2 O.sub.2 mist of low concentration and of droplet particle size of approximately 10 microns at room temperature for approximately one second and is then irradiated for approximately one second with ultraviolet-ray lamps positioned to irradiate opposite surfaces of the sheet material each at a distance of approximately 20 mm therefrom, whereby the material is thoroughly sterilized as a result of the synergistic effect produced by the combination of these two sterilization steps.
