Publication number: 20110083581Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to provide an ink set which makes it possible to obtain recorded images that have a broad color reproduction range and a high saturation, as well as glossiness without conspicuous graininess caused by dot expression, and which in particular makes it possible to achieve an extreme suppression of graininess caused by dot expression in cases where the ink set is used on media that have a coating layer, and to obtain recorded images with extremely superior coloring characteristics in cases where the ink set is used on ordinary paper. The present invention provides an ink set comprising at least a yellow ink (Y), magenta ink (M), cyan ink (C) and red ink (R), wherein the L* values in the CIE-stipulated Lab display system of aqueous solutions of the respective inks diluted 1000 times by weight are in the following ranges: (Y): at least 89 but no more than 94, (M): at least 76 but no more than 93, (C): at least 74 and no more than 87, (R): at least 55 and no more than 74.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 12, 2010Publication date: April 14, 2011Inventor: Shuichi Kataoka

Publication number: 20110083584Abstract: Disclosed is a flaky material formed of an aggregate of fine particles. The aggregate is formed by uniting fine particles to one another. The fine particles are derived from fine particles of an inorganic oxide dispersed in a solvent having an effective (OH?) content of 3×10?5 to 1×10?6 mol/l. The surface of the flaky material has a flatness degree equal to or lower than 0.5 ?m. The flaky material can provide viewers with a high brightness feeling.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 21, 2009Publication date: April 14, 2011Applicant: CENTRAL GLASS COMPANY, LIMITEDInventors: Yukihiro Ougitani, Nobuyuki Nakai, Norikazu Fujiura, Takahisa Kida

Publication number: 20110083586Abstract: A method of controlling release of an admixture in a cement-based composition involves intercalating an admixture (e.g. an accelerator, a set retarder, a superplasticizer) for the cement-based composition into a layered double hydroxide or mixture thereof. A cement-based composition prepared in such a manner and containing a cement-based material (e.g. cement, mortar or concrete) has better workability, especially in respect of slump-loss characteristics.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 16, 2010Publication date: April 14, 2011Applicant: NATIONAL RESEARCH COUNCIL OF CANADAInventors: Laila RAKI, James J.
