Abstract: The photographic paper (210) is intended for use with a printer with which a vaporisable dye from the latter is absorbed on a receptor layer (211) provided as an upper layer of a photographic paper base. A light absorbing layer (212) formed by a light absorbing agent is provided between the photographic paper base and the receptor layer. The light absorbing can be whitened in colour hue by thermal defraction either of the light absorbing agent itself by a light radiating element of the associated printer, or of a capsule enclosing a whitening agent mixed with the light absorbing layer.

Abstract: An ink sheet (3) is wound around rollers (6), and a recording sheet (4) is placed with a space (d) between the ink sheet (3) and the recording sheet (4) and is advanced. The thickness of the space (d) is a value in the range of 1 to 100 mu m. The ink sheet (3) is irradiated with a laser beam (L) emitted by a laser (5) to transfer the dye contained in a dye layer formed on the ink sheet (3) from the ink sheet (3) to the recording sheet (4) for printing. The dye layer of the ink sheet (3) is replenished with the dye (30, 30A) heated and fused by a heater (9) by a dye supply unit (7) at a position other than a position where the ink sheet (3) is irradiated with the laser beam (L). Since the ink sheet and the recording sheet are held with the space (d) having a thickness in the range of 1 to 100 mu m, the dye once transferred to the recording sheet is not transferred from the rcording sheet to the ink sheet, so that a clear picture having a comparatively high density can be printed. Since the dye layer of the ink sheet is replenished with the dye, the ink sheet can be repeatedly used, so that no waste is produced.

Abstract: Abnormality detection means 21 performs an abnormality determination when a power supply line 2 has the voltage lower than a reference power supply voltage VDD. If any abnormality is detected, the detection result is forwarded to sensor output compensation means 22, indicating a voltage decrease from the reference power supply voltage VDD. Based on the voltage decrease, the sensor output compensation means 22 accordingly compensates a voltage signal Vout coming from an acceleration sensor 1. Fall determination means 23 plots, on a time axis, the voltage output Vout of the acceleration sensor 1 after compensation made by the sensor output compensation means 22, and based on any change observed for the voltage output Vout on the time axis, makes a fall determination. In such a structure, a method and system for correct fall detection can be provided, without causing cost increase, through acceleration detection made properly despite any decrease observed for the power supply voltage of an acceleration sensor.

Abstract: The printer (1) includes dye tanks (11) for accommodating solid powder form sublimating dyes. The dye tanks are communicated with liquid dye vaporizing sections (17) via respective accommodating passages (15) capillary tubes provided with heating elements (16) for liquefying dyes introduced from the dye tanks. The heating elements may also be active to heat the surface of photographic paper (50) via a protective layer (13) of the head portion (10) of the printer. A vibrating element (25) may be disposed in the capillary tubes for allowing liquid dye to be provided to the vaporizing sections. Each of the vaporizing sections comprises a plurality of vaporizing pores (17a) having a light-heat converting element projected there into from a head base of the printer. A laser source (18) is mounted over the light-heat converting element, which may comprise a heat resistant, light transmitting portion having a light-heat converting layer (20) disposed on a lower end thereof. The vaporizing pores allow a sufficient amount of liquid dye to be adhered to the lower side of the light-heat converting element to be vaporized and adhered to the surface of photographic papier upon irradiation by a laser beam from the laser source.
