It is an object of the present invention to provide a siloxane-modified hyperbranched polyimide which has more excellent electric properties (low dielectric property), gas permeability, mechanical properties (low modulus), surface properties (adhesiveness) and the like while maintaining thermal stability, mechanical strength, chemical resistance and processability and the like intrinsic to polyimide and which may be variously functionalized and can be utilized advantageously in industrial applications. A siloxane structure represented by the following structural formula (1) is introduced into a three-dimensional structured hyperbranched polyimide molecule. (wherein R1 represents a hydrocarbon group having from 1 to 6 carbon atoms, and n indicates an integer of from 1 to 50).

A photosensitive printing member comprises a porous supporting member and a photosensitive layer formed on the porous supporting member. The photosensitive layer comprises a photosensitive material and a foaming material or filler melted or dispersed in the photosensitive material. A porous stamp plate can be formed with fewer process steps than the conventional method and without using a mold. As a result, a small number of photosensitive printing members can be used to produce various models of stamps.

An image receiving sheet of the present invention for receiving a desired image thereon includes a support layer and an absorbing layer containing heat-meltable or thermoplastic particles. A desired image can be formed in the absorbing layer of the image receiving sheet. Through heating the image receiving sheet formed with the desired image, the heat-meltable or thermoplastic particles are thermally melted or softened to attain a glossy and transparent surface formed with the desired image. As a result, an image bearing product coated with a glossy and transparent surface formed with the desired image is obtained. Through thermally pressing the image receiving sheet formed with the visible image toward an article of arbitrary type, on the other hand, the heat-meltable or thermoplastic particles are thermally melted or softened to be adhered to a surface of the article, so that the desired image is transferred onto the surface of the article.

Image receiving sheet and image transferring method employing the image

The invention relates to an image receiving sheet which is a retransfer sheet for forming an image on an optional transferred medium The image receiving sheet comprises a support member, a transparent layer and a thermoplastic fine particles layer Light having an image information is irradiated toward a photosensitive recording medium having microcapsules which change their hardness by being exposed to one of heat or light. Then, a chemical latent image corresponding to the image is represented by the microcapsules having different hardness. When the photosensitive recording medium and the image receiving sheet are superposed and pressed against each other, the unhardened microcapsules are ruptured and the pigment or dye in the unhardened microcapsules flows from the ruptured microcapsules. The pigment or dye that flows from the microcapsules is absorbed into the thermoplastic fine particles layer. As a result, a visible image corresponding to the image is formed on the image receiving sheet. The image receiving sheet is placed on the transferred medium and they are thermally pressed against each other. When the support member is peeled off, the image covered with the transparent layer remains as a transfer on the transferred medium.

An electrostatic relay essentially comprises a fixed electrode with a fixed contact insulated therefrom, a movable electrode plate with a movable contact insulated therefrom, and a fixed pair of oppositely charged electrets. The movable electrode plate is pivotally supported at a pivot in a cantilever fashion or a seesaw fashion, and also to move about the pivot axis relative to the fixed electrode between two rest positions of closing and opening the contacts. A control voltage source is connected across the fixed electrode and the movable electrode plate to generate a potential difference therebetween. The electrets are disposed adjacent the movable electrode plate to generate electrostatic forces attracting and repelling the movable electrode plate, respectively, when the movable electrode plate is charged to a given polarity. That is, the attracting and repelling forces are cooperative to produce a torque for moving the movable electrode plate in one direction from one of the rest positions to the other. The electrostatic relay is useful for precisely and rapidly operating the relay.

The coating device may apply to the medium at least one of the photosensitive microcapsules and developer material which serve as the at least one kind of toner, according to the source image information, and the exposing device may expose to the radiation the medium having the microcapsules serving as the photosensitive toner so as to form microcapsule-based latent images. The recording system may further includes an electrostatic body, and a switching device selectively permitting the exposure of the medium having thereon the photosensitive toner, and exposure to the radiation of the electrostatic body for forming electrostatic latent images according to which the at least one kind of toner is adhered thereto. The switching device may selectively permit the exposure of the electrostatic body for forming the electrostatic latent images, and exposure to the radiation of the photosensitive toner adhered to the electrostatic body.

Recording system

A light-and pressure-sensitive recording sheet and an original, overlapping each other, are introduced into an image forming apparatus, and are exposed to radiation on a transparent drum by means of a light source in the drum, whereupon a latent image, based on the contents of the original, is formed on the recording sheet. Then, the recording sheet is separated from the original by means of a separator, and is passed between a pair of pressure rolls. When the recording sheet is exposed, microcapsules thereon change their hardness. These microcapsules are ruptured selectively by pressure applied to the sheet. As a result, a chromogenic material, contained in the microcapsules, and a developer material, on the surface of a substrate of the recording sheet, react with each other, so that the sheet surface changes its color. Thus, the latent image is developed to accomplish copying in accordance with the original.
