Abstract: A toner including a binder resin; a colorant; and an external additive, wherein the external additive includes a particulate inorganic material, and a silicone oil, wherein the silicone oil is present on the particulate inorganic material in an amount of Ws by weight and present as a free silicone oil in an amount of Wfs by weight, and a free silicone degree defined as a ratio Wfs/Ws is from 10 to 70%.

Abstract: A toner including toner particles including at least a binder resin having a first melting point and a first solubility parameter, a colorant and a particulate release agent having a second melting point lower than the first melting point and a second solubility parameter different from the first solubility parameter, wherein the particulate release agent dispersed in the toner particles has an average needle-shape degree LD/SD of not less than 1.6, where LD is a diameter of a particle of the release agent dispersed in the toner in a major axis direction thereof and SD is a diameter of the particle in a minor axis direction.

Abstract: In a vehicle front end panel, a horn cover for defining a passage of sound generated by a horn is formed integrally with a panel body to which a front end member such as a radiator is assembled. Further, the panel body and at least a part of the horn cover are integrally molded by resin. Therefore, the horn structure including the horn and the horn cover is readily manufactured in a low cost.

Abstract: A toner for developing latent electrostatic images including a resin component, with the image fixing temperature of the toner being in the range of 100.degree. to 140.degree. C., and the penetration of the toner, measured when allowed to stand at 60.degree. C. for 4 hours in accordance with Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS) K 2235, being 5 mm or more. The resin component for the toner may include a hydrogenated petroleum resin with a hydrogenation ratio of 50% or more, and optionally polyester resin.

Abstract: A method of producing a toner for developing latent electrostatic images is disclosed, which comprises the steps of dispersing resin particles comprising a resin in an organic solvent in which the resin is not dissolved; dissolving a dye in the organic solvent before or after dispersing the resin particles in the organic solvent to prepare a dispersion in which the resin particles and the dye are contained, thereby dying the resin particles with the dye; and removing the organic solvent from the dispersion, wherein the ratio of the solubility [D.sub.1 ] of the dye in the organic solvent to the solubility [D.sub.2 ] of the dye in the resin of the resin particles, [D.sub.1 ]/[D.sub.2 ], is not more than 0.5.

Abstract: A toner for developing latent electrostatic images composed of a continuous phase containing a binder resin, and a disperse phase dispersed in the form of finely-divided disperse phases in the continuous phase, containing a resin which is not the same as the binder resin for use in the continuous phase, and finely-divided particles of a releasing agent which are dispersed in the resin, with a coloring agent being dispersed in the continuous phase and/or the disperse phase.

Abstract: A diazo-type thermosensitive recording material comprising a support material, a thermosensitive coloring layer formed thereon, which thermosensitive coloring layer comprises a diazonium compound layer containing a diazonium compound, and a coupler layer containing a coupler, and of the diazonium compound layer and the coupler layer, at least the lower layer near the support material further containing a thermo-fusible material and a water-insoluble binder agent, and in any portions other than the diazonium compound layer of the thermosensitive recording material, an imidazole derivative of the following formula being contained: ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 represents a higher alkyl group, preferably with 6 to 24 carbon atoms, an alkoxyl or hydroxyalkyl group derived from the above higher alkyl group; R.sup.2, R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 independently represent hydrogen, a phenyl group, a benzyl group, an alkyl group, an alkoxyl group, an hydroxyalkyl group or a cyanoalkyl group.
