A method of forming reproduced in images on the surface of cured coating, the method including the steps of treating a surface of a cured coating with an organic solvent which does not dissolve the cured coating, but slightly dissolves a reproduced image layer and has a solubility parameter of about 7.5 to about 8.2, superposing, over the cured coating, a copying sheet which comprises a copy support having a reproduced image layer formed thereon to bring the reproduced image layer of the copying sheet into contact with the organic solvent-treated surface of cured coating, heat-transferring the reproduced image to the treated surface of cured coating, releasing the copy support to provide a transfer product on the cured coating, and forming a clear coating on the surface of the transfer product.

A displacement detection device and a wire therefor in which the drawbacks of the conventional Elinvar-type alloy are eliminated, the magnetostriction intensity as well as the magnetostriction propagation speed does not vary with temperature, and a magnetostriction coefficient is sufficiently great to enable an amplification at a high speed of response to be unnecessary. A magnetostrictive wire used in a displacement detection device together with a magnetostriction-generating magnet disposed close thereto and movable relative thereto, said wire substantially composed of 35 to 60 wt % Ni and the balance consisting of Fe and unavoidable impurities, cold-wire-drawn and then heat-treated and having a magnetostriction coefficient greater than that exhibited in an as-cold-wire-drawn state. A displacement detection device includes the above-mentioned magnetostrictive wire and a magnetostrictive-generating magnet disposed movable relative thereto and therealong for detecting a relative displacement between the magnetostrictive wire and the magnet based on a time of propagation, through the wire, of a magnetostriction signal generated in the wire in the portion close to the magnet by a pulse current applied to the wire.

A method for the electrodeposition coating of workpieces conveyed in an electrodeposition bath, wherein voltage applying means is provided in a plurality of stages of not less than three in the conveying direction of the workpieces. Voltage is increased at the first stage, and the multiple stages voltage applying means is initiated after the workpieces reach a submersion area where the workpieces are completely submerged in the paint contained in the electrodeposition bath. Voltage application at the final stage of the voltage applying means is terminated before the workpieces exit from the submersion area. By this method, the thickness of the electrodeposition film can be made uniform so that there is no difference in film thickness between lower and higher workpieces or in the lower and upper parts of a workpiece.
