Abstract: An image transcription method of transcribing an image of the dye on a printing sheet outputted by e.g., a video printer onto a substrate for transcription, such as a cup of pottery or the like. For transcription, a resin is coated on the surface of the substrate for transcription to form a reception layer. This reception layer is dried in an electrical oven to form a support for transcription. A printing sheet carrying an image of a sublimable dye is stacked on the reception layer of the support for transcription and pressured to the reception layer under application of heat and pressure. As the resin for the reception layer, the acrylic resin or the epoxy resin or both are employed. If the resin composed mainly of the acrylic resin is employed, the viscosity of the resin is set to 43 to 52 seconds in terms of the Ford cup viscosity, and the resin discharge pressure from a spray gun is set to 35 kg/m2±0.01 kg.cm2.

Abstract: A liquid extracting apparatus in accordance with the present invention is configured so that a connection pipe 22a (suction-side pipe) of a pump 22 for extracting slurry liquid content is connected to the upper end side of a liquid content introduction path to which slurry in a tank 8 can be introduced to attain the precipitation and separation of solid content, and a number of tubes 26 are packed at the lower end portion of the liquid content introduction path 21. The present invention can provide a simple liquid extracting apparatus that can effectively extract only liquid content in the slurry (suspension) moving in the tank.

Abstract: A holder for roll-type print media and a roll-type print media cassette, for easing replacement of a roll, including a printing apparatus capable of detecting the presence of a roll-type print media. The holder and cassette include supporting means for supporting the roll-type print media rotatively and regulating means for regulating the unwinding of the print media. The printing apparatus includes print media supporting means for supporting the roll-type print media rotatively such that the position of the axis of rotation is fixed. A contact sensor for detecting the presence of roll-type print media is also provided.

Abstract: An aqueous coating composition comprising, as main components,(A) an aqueous dispersion of a water-dispersible acrylic copolymer of acid value 20-150 optionally having hydroxyl group, which copolymer is obtained by copolymerizing an alkoxysilane group-containing vinyl monomer with a carboxyl group-containing unsaturated monomer and, as necessary, other polymerizable monomer copolymerizable with said monomers,(B) an aqueous polyurethane resin, and optionally(C) a polyisocyanate compound.With this composition, there can be formed, on a substrate, a coating film which is excellent in water resistance and solvent resistance and which is good in adhesivity, finish of film, etc.

Abstract: A buffer (4) has a read and write control (8, 7), an input (6), an output (5), and a transfer port (9). An SCSI interface (20) is coupled to port (9) and the read/write control (8, 7). The SCSI interface (20) implements transfer commands for transfers via the port 9 with an undefined delay. An RS 422 interface is coupled to the read/write control (8) and implements transfer commands for transfers via the input 6 and output 5, the commands being implemented with a small, defined delay synchronously with a video sync signal (SYNC).

Abstract: In a data recording apparatus which sequentially records recording data on a magnetic tape (T), when a plurality of continuously recorded data files F(i) are rewritten into new data files F(I) having smaller data quantities, recording areas which remain without being rewritten into the new data files F(I) are rewritten into unrecorded areas NR containing no data. Further, when rewriting into new data files G(I) which have larger data quantities, reserve areas SP are provided, in which data has not been previously recorded, and overflow data is written into the reserve areas SP at the time of rewriting.

Abstract: A magneto-optical recording and reproducing apparatus achieving an improvement in high density recording and bit error correction rate. The magneto-optical recording and reproducing apparatus comprises coding and modulating means for (1,7) RLL encoding and then NRZI encoding a digital information series {A.sub.i }; recording and reproducing means for recording the encoded series {a.sub.i } to a magneto-optical recording medium, and reproducing an analog signal from the medium as elementary waveform sequence e(t) using an optical head; a transversal filter type waveform equalizer for waveform equalizing elementary waveform sequence e(t) by applying the transfer function (1+2D+2D.sup.2 +D.sup.3) of the PR(1,2,2,1) encoding method to the elementary waveform of the encoded sequences, where delay operators D have a delay time of the encoded sequence cell width T.sub.

Abstract: A two-pack aqueous coating composition which comprises a first pack component composed of alkoxysilane-containing, water-dispersible acrylic copolymer and a second pack component composed of polyisocyanate. Use of this coating composition allows formation of coating films excelling in waterproofness, solvent-resistance, chemical resistance, drying properties, etc., and exhibiting markedly improved physical properties as a paint film such as tensile strength, elongation, etc.

Abstract: In digital recording/reproducing apparatus of the invention, picture signals are digitalized, digital data for picture elements constructing each picture is stored together in a memory, and digital data is read out from the memory and recorded on a recording medium in a predetermined order. The memory includes plural memory regions for successively storing digital data corresponding to a predetermined number of picture elements in direction of horizontal scan of a picture. Data for every memory region is stored on the recording medium and thus memory regions are set on the recording medium corresponding the memory regions of the memory. In normal reproducing, all data is read out and is displayed. In search, only data stored in a memory region previously selected out of the plural memory regions is read out and displayed. Since only part of data constructing a picture is read out and displayed, time for read-out of data is shortened and thus a search is completed in a short while.
