There are provided a substrate sheet, a plurality of design portions arranged independently from each other along a longitudinal direction of the substrate sheet and each including at least a conductive material portion, and a band-shaped static eliminating band portion extending continuously along the longitudinal direction of the substrate sheet and electrically connecting the conductive material portions in the plurality of design portions to each other.

A method for producing an electric-wave-transmissible transferring member capable of expressing a metallic luster pattern having a sharp outline. A peel layer () is formed on a base sheet () throughout the entire surface of the sheet. Next, a water-soluble pattern layer () is partially formed thereon. Next, an electric-wave-transmissible metallic luster layer () is formed thereon and throughout the entire surface thereof. Next, a protective layer () is formed thereon and throughout the entire surface thereof, or is formed thereon and, partially, in the region where the water-soluble pattern layer () is not formed. Next, the workpiece is subjected to a heating treatment and then a water-washing treatment to peel and remove the water-soluble pattern layer (), and the electric-wave-transmissible metallic luster layer () and the protective layer () formed over the layer (). Next, an adhesive layer () is wholly or partially formed on the workpiece.

A fluid transfusing device and method of control therefor includes a plurality of pump driving portions and a microprocessor. Each pump driving portion is for driving a pump, and the microprocessor controls the pump driving portions. The microprocessor executes a fluid transfusing device control program, and interrupts the fluid transfusing device control program upon receiving a pump interrupt. The microprocessor then executes a pump driving interrupt module. When the microprocessor executes the pump driving module, the microprocessor generates a pump driving pulse to control a pump driving portion associated with the pump corresponding to the pump interrupt, determines receipt of another pump interrupt corresponding to a another pump, and generates a pump driving pulse to control a pump driving portion associated with the another pump corresponding to the another pump interrupt. Determining the receipt of another pump interrupt and generating another pump drive pulse without exiting the pump driving interrupt module, prevents undue delay in processing the another pump interrupt. Consequently, the pump drive portions, which are motors, do not disengage or stop due to delay in receiving pump drive pulses.

A slit disk having a hole at a specified portion of its flat surface and a plurality of slits at regular intervals at a peripheral portion thereof is mounted to a shaft of an infusion pump. A controller clears a live band determination counter based on a light detection signal from a sensor when the hole is detected, and increments the count value of a live band determination counter when an side edge of one of the plurality of slit is detected. When the count value of the live band determination counter falls within '10' to '24' or '0' to '2', it is determined that the infusion pump is in a live band, and the count value of the live band counter is incremented. Thus an operation amount of the infusion pump in the live band is detected to measure a fluid delivery rate taking a dead band into account.

A sampling method for sampling an output emerging from a bubble detector used in an infusion device of a type including an resilient infusion tubing, a peristaltic pump including a plurality of juxtaposed finger members for sequentially squeezing a portion of the infusion tubing while producing at least one moving zone of occlusion along the infusion tubing for infusing a medical solution intravenouly, a stepper motor for driving the peristaltic pump. The sampling of an output from the bubble detector is carried out only during a first period from the timing at which a most upstream member of the finger members squeezes that portion of the infusion tubing to the timing at which a most downstream member of the finger members closest to the destination subsequently squeezes that portion of the infusion tubing, but not during a second period from the timing at which the most downstream finger member squeezes that portion of the infusion tubing to the timing at which the most upstream finger member squeezes that portion of the infusion tubing.

A display device for indicating the internal pressure of a tube of an infusion device having an infusion drive for supplying an infusion fluid from a solution container to the human body through the tube and a sensor for detecting the internal pressure of the tube. The display device includes a message indicator for displaying the internal pressure of the tube as detected by the sensor. The message indicator has a plurality of alphanumeric display elements each consisting of a plurality of segments. The display elements are used to display a value, in alphanumeric terms, of the internal pressure of the tube. Further, some of the segments of the display elements are used to display the quantitative change of the pressure as a bar graph.
