The objective of the present invention is to provide a method of forming a pressed paper piece by deep drawing a sheet of blank that is primarily made of paper in use of a punch and a die, and a production apparatus for implementing the method, whereby no distinguishable wrinkles are formed in upright portions of the pressed paper piece. The method of producing a pressed paper piece according to the present invention, implemented when deep drawing a sheet-like blank that is primarily made of paper in use of a punch and a die, includes maintaining a predetermined gap between a first blank holder and the die in an outer peripheral region of a process portion of the blank and applying a pressure to a radially inner region thereof via a second blank holder, thereby reducing wrinkling by an effect of integrated functions exerted in both regions of the blank.

Method of producing pressed paper piece and apparatus therefor

A printer includes a data obtaining unit, a storage unit, an engine, and a printing unit. The data obtaining unit obtains, from print data stored in the storage unit, print data for sheets less than the maximum number of sheets dischargeable to a discharge tray as target print data and sends the target print data to the engine via the printing unit. The target print data includes first print data of odd pages and second print data of even pages. After printing the first print data on one side of sheets fed from a feed tray and discharges the sheets onto the discharge tray, the engine prints the second print data on the other side of the sheets manually returned from the discharge tray to the feed tray.

Partitioned duplex printing method based on the capacity of the output tray

A terminal apparatus, a consumables residual quantity display program, and a recording medium are disclosed. The terminal apparatus, which is connected to a printing apparatus through a network, includes an acquisition unit for acquiring information about consumables of the printing apparatus from the printing apparatus; and a display controller for displaying the information about the consumables, which information is acquired by the acquisition unit, if the information of at least one item of the consumables fulfills a predetermined condition. The display controller may display a no-display specifying screen that prompts a user to specify whether a 'no-display' mode should be activated, in which 'no-display' mode, displaying the information about the consumables is stopped even if the predetermined condition is fulfilled when the information is to be acquired by the acquisition unit at a next time.

First and second chambers are coaxially arranged and have substantially the same cross sectional area. First and second activated charcoal masses are respectively received in the first and second chambers. A labyrinth structure is arranged between respective first ends of the first and second chambers. An atmospheric air inlet port is provided by a second end of the second chamber. A third chamber is arranged beside the coaxially arranged first and second chambers. The third chamber has a first end positioned near a second end of the first chamber and a second end positioned near the second end of the second chamber. A third activated charcoal mass is received in the third chamber. A connector passage extends between the second end of the first chamber and the first end of the third chamber to provide a fluid connection between the first and third chambers. A fuel vapor inlet port is provided by the second end of the third chamber, and a fuel vapor outlet port is also provided by the second end of the third chamber.

A multi-layer surface-treated steel plate comprises a zinc-containing plated layer, a lithium silicate film layer formed on said plated layer and an organic composite silicate film layer composed of colloidal silica and an organic resin, which is formed on the lithium silicate film layer.

Multi-layer surface-treated steel plate having zinc-containing layer

A composite coating steel sheet is disclosed which has good corrosion resistance, paintability and corrosion resistance after paint coating. The steel sheet comprises a plated base steel sheet, such as a galvanized, zinc alloy plated or aluminum plated steel sheet, and a chromate film formed on the plated base steel sheet. A composite silicate resin film is formed on the chromate film. The composite silicate film is composed of a reaction product of a colloidal silica, an organic resin and a silane compound.

Composite coating steel sheets having good corrosion resistance

A steel sheet with its surface prepared for paint coating is disclosed. The surface treated steel sheet comprises a base sheet, and an iron-zinc alloy film plated on the base sheet in an amount of at least 0.1 g/m.sup.2 and having an iron content of from 3 to 30%. A composite silicate resin film is coated on the iron-zinc alloy film in an amount of from 0.05 to 5.0 g/m.sup.2. The resin film is composed of an acrylic copolymer, an epoxy resin, a silica sol and a trialkoxysilane compound. The treated surface provides superior paintability, degrease resistance and corrosion resistance after pain coating.
