Abstract:
This invention provides a method for erasing an image, comprising exposing an image, formed by applying a coloring matter-containing ink onto a recording medium, to an oxidizing gas produced by discharge, characterized in that the coloring matter is an anionic anthraquinone coloring matter. There is also provided a method for reproducing a recording medium.
Abstract:
There is provided a DNA supporting fiber capable of maintaining the stability of DNA and efficiently expressing the adsorption property of DNA. Also provided is a DNA supporting sheet useful in a variety of applications, the sheet that utilizes the fiber. The DNA supporting fiber is produced by fusing and fixing, onto the surface composed of a thermoplastic resin of a fiber, particles where DNA as an adsorbent is immobilized in a porous matrix containing an inorganic oxide.
Abstract:
A process of recording using fluid ink which is substantially non-adhesive but can be imparted with an adhesiveness on application of an energy such as electrochemical energy or heat energy. The ink is obtained by impregnating a crosslinked substance such as guar gum or polyvinyl alcohol compound with a liquid dispersion medium such as water. The fluid ink, preferably formed into a layer in advance, is supplied with a pattern of energy to be provided with an adhesive pattern, which is then transferred to a recording medium, such as plain paper, directly or by the medium of an intermediate transfer medium to form an ink pattern corresponding to the energy pattern applied.
Abstract:
An optical recording medium is disclosed which comprises a substrate (101) containing a polycarbonate resin and a recording layer (102). The substrate contains copolycarbonate resin having constitutional units represented by the formulae (x) and (y) [wherein Z of the formula (x) is a direct bond, alkylidene, -O-, -S- or -SO2-; X is H, halogen, alkyl, aryl, aralkyl, alkoxy, aryloxy or aralkyloxy; R1 is H, alkyl or aralkyl; m is an integer of 1 to 3; Y of the formula (y) is alkylidene, aryl-substituted alkylene, aryl, -O-, -S-, -CO- or -SO2-; and each of R2, R3, R4 and R5 is H, halogen or alkyl].
Abstract:
A method for transferring a viscous substance, including the steps of: providing a viscous substance capable of changing its adhesiveness corresponding to the polarity of a voltage applied thereto; disposing the viscous substance between a first electrode and a second electrode; and applying a voltage to the viscous substance plural times, thereby to reduce the adhesiveness of the viscous substance to the first electrode. yu021/1156
Abstract:
A method for supplying a viscous substance includes the step of providing a viscous substance having an adhesive characteristic which changes in correspondence to a polarity of a voltage applied thereto. The viscous substance has an adhesive characteristic when no voltage is applied thereto and its adhesiveness is reduced when a voltage is applied thereto. The method further includes the step of supplying the viscous substance between a pair of electrodes at least one of which has a pattern comprising an electroconductive portion and an insulating pattern. The method also includes the step of applying a voltage between the first and second electrodes to thereby attach the viscous substance in an amount which corresponds to the ratio of the area of the electroconductive portion to the area of the insulating portion.
