Abstract: Techniques are provided for adequately cooling a continuous base material while efficiently drying a pre-processing liquid on the continuous base material before printing using second ink. The printer includes first and second printing units and a dryer located downstream of the first printing unit and including a heating roller. The second printing unit is located downstream of the dryer. The heating roller has a first outer peripheral surface around which the continuous base material is wound, and heats the continuous base material with the first outer peripheral surface being in contact with a second surface of the continuous base material on the side opposite to the first surface. The dryer includes a cooling roller located downstream of the heating roller and having a second outer peripheral surface around which the continuous base material is wound. The second outer peripheral surface has a lower temperature than the first outer peripheral surface.

Abstract: A dryer includes a plurality of transport rollers, turn bars, and a heater. Some of the transport rollers support the continuous base material transported in the +Y direction in a first position in the Z direction. Some of the transport rollers support the continuous base material transported in the ?Y direction in a second position in the Z direction. The turn bars support the continuous base material in a third position in the Z direction while bending the continuous base material so that the continuous base material is transported in the ?X direction. The heater is capable of heating part of the continuous base material in a position on the transport path TR between the transport rollers and the turn bars. The transport rollers and the turn bars are located on the second surface side of the continuous base material.

Abstract: Provided are a composition for new bone formation and a new bone formation system, which when used to fill a bone treatment site does not effuse from the filled site due to flow of bone marrow fluid or the like, and which can promote formation of new bone at the bone treatment site. By employing a composition for new bone formation containing microparticles of a material that can emit heat in response to an external signal, and a carrier for the microparticles, formation of new bone at the bone treatment site can be promoted.

Abstract: When a vehicle navigation system is manipulated by taking pictures of a user hand motion and gesture with a camera, as the number of apparatuses and operational objects increases, the associated hand shapes and hand motions increase, thus causing a complex manipulation for a user. Furthermore, in detecting a hand with the camera, when the image of a face having color tone information similar to that of a hand appears in an image taken with a camera, or outside light rays such as sun rays or illumination rays vary, detection accuracy is reduced. To overcome such problems, a manipulation input device is provided that includes a limited hand manipulation determination unit and a menu representation unit, whereby a simple manipulation can be achieved and manipulation can accurately be determined. In addition, detection accuracy can be improved by a unit that selects a single result from results determined by a plurality of determination units, based on images taken with a plurality of cameras.

Abstract: A measured value processing circuit records measured values for a predetermined number of repeated patterns converted by an A/D converter, in a measured value memory. A calculation section calculates standard deviations of measured values for the predetermined number of repeated patterns obtained at corresponding sample times of predetermined period. A waveform processing section uses the standard deviations determined by the calculation section to generate a waveform corresponding to the input signal. A display control section displays the waveform generated by the waveform processing section, in a display section. The present invention reduces the amount of noise displayed on a display screen. A digital oscilloscope can thus display a waveform that allows the quality of an input signal to be easily evaluated.
