摘要:
Provided is a pressure-sensitive adhesive label, which does not use release paper to save resources and alleviate an environmental burden and which can be formed thin so that the a pressure-sensitive adhesive label can be rolled into an elongated roll. The pressure-sensitive adhesive label includes an indication layer, a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer placed on the indication layer, and a functional layer placed on the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer. The functional layer is openable by heating to expose the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer. Consequently, the functional layer can be opened stably with low activation energy, and hence the pressure-sensitive adhesive label is suitable for a portable label issuing device.

Provided is an apparatus for producing a sheet material including: an RFID reader (11) for reading information from an RFID tag; a sheet supply unit (12) for supplying the sheet material (4) having a heat-sensitive printing layer on one surface of a sheet-type base material, and having a heat-sensitive adhesive layer on the other surface of the sheet-type base material; a printing unit (13) for performing printing on the heat-sensitive printing layer of the sheet material (4) supplied from the sheet supply unit (12); a thermal activation unit (15) for heating the heat-sensitive adhesive layer of the sheet material (4), which is printed by the printing unit (13), to develop an adhesive force of the heat-sensitive adhesive layer; and a control unit (16) for controlling the thermal activation unit (15) to develop the adhesive force in a predetermined area of the heat-sensitive adhesive layer other than an area facing the RFID tag so as to form an adhesive area to be attached to the article, and for controlling the printing unit (13) to print predetermined information on the heat-sensitive printing layer, based on the information read from the RFID tag by the RFID reader (11), thereby making it possible to match information of the tag with information printed on the sheet material with reliability, and to simply attach the tag to the article.
摘要:
A product history management apparatus issues to label issuing apparatuses identification information to be printed on a label affixed on a product produced in production steps from raw material production to final product production. An identification information receiving device receives from a label issuing apparatus associated with one of the production steps information printed on a label affixed in a production step immediately preceding the one production step. An identification information transmitting device issues new identification information relative to the received identification information and transmits to the label issuing apparatus associated with the one production step the issued identification information. An identification information storage device stores the received identification information in the production step immediately preceding the one production step in association with the issued and transmitted new identification information.

摘要:
To provide a product history management apparatus and the like capable of managing a history of a product from its production to delivery to consumers. Label IDs are issued for all steps from raw material production to retail product production (retailer and food-service distributor) and a label ID issued this time and a label ID issued in the last step are associated to keep a history of the label IDs, making it possible to grasp a production or distribution history from raw material production to final product production. A label management server issues a label ID and label issuing apparatuses provided for each step print labels. The label management server manages the history of the label IDs and the label issuing apparatuses manage detailed information related to products in each step. Detailed information related to the product can be stored while being distributed to each label issuing apparatus, making it possible to reduce a load on the label management server.

The label management server manages the history of the label IDs and the label issuing apparatuses manage detailed information related to products in each step. In the label and the label issuing apparatuses, an authenticity judgement element (authenticity identification substance) and a detection function are provided to prevent any counterfeit or tampering, which contributes to an improvement in reliability for an information system and allows users to feel secure about the system.

Provided is a printing system, a printer, and a printing method with which decoding of digital watermarks is possible at a high ratio while ensuring visibility of human-readable information even when the human-readable information is superimposed on the digital watermarks before printing. In a URL server (2), a conversion unit (22) converts predetermined information into digital watermark information represented by a plurality of dots in an on state among dots arranged in a matrix manner, a processing unit (23) generates thinned-out digital watermark information by processing a part of the plurality of dots in the on state into dots in an off state so that at least dots that are successively arranged in a vertical or horizontal direction and are in the on state are not present in the digital watermark information, and a communication control unit (24) transmits the thinned-out digital watermark information to a printer (3). The printer (3) prints the thinned-out digital watermark information and the human-readable information in a superimposed manner.
摘要:
A positive resist composition that includes a resin component (A), which contains acid dissociable, dissolution inhibiting groups and exhibits increased alkali solubility under the action of acid, and an acid generator component (B) that generates acid on exposure, wherein the resin component (A) is a copolymer (A1) containing a first structural unit (a1) derived from hydroxystyrene and a second structural unit (a2) derived from a (meth)acrylate ester having an alcoholic hydroxyl group, in which a portion of the hydroxyl groups of the structural units (a1) and the alcoholic hydroxyl groups of the structural units (a2) have been protected with the acid dissociable, dissolution inhibiting groups; and either the acid generator component (B) includes a diazomethane-based acid generator and an onium salt-based acid generator; or the composition further contains a compound, which contains at least one acid dissociable, dissolution inhibiting group, and generates an organic carboxylic acid under the action of acid generated from the component (B).
摘要:
The invention discloses an improvement in the photo-lithographic patterning process of a photoresist layer in the manufacture of semiconductor devices in which occurrence of defects in the patterned resist layer can be greatly suppressed resulting in increased reliability of the semiconductor devices and productivity thereof. The improvement can be accomplished by using a chemical-amplification positive-working photoresist composition which exhibits a rate of film thickness reduction in the range from 0.09 to 1.0 nm/second when the photoresist layer before light-exposure is kept in a 2.38% aqueous solution of tetramethylammonium hydroxide at 23° C. to dissolve away the resist layer.
摘要:
Techniques for providing an ID image on a print medium are disclosed. Commodity information on a commodity settled in a store is received from a store terminal installed at the store. ID images, defining ID information in a frequency domain and accompanied by attribute information that is used by the store terminal to decide whether or not each of the stored ID images is to be printed, are stored. A correspondence between the commodity information and the stored ID images is also stored. ID images corresponding to the received commodity information from the stored ID images using the stored correspondence are then retrieved. An attribute list, which registers the attribute information of the stored ID images that is used by the store terminal to decide whether or not each of the stored ID images is to be printed, is stored. Thereafter, only the retrieved ID images which have been decided to be printed based on the stored attribute list are transmitted. The transmitted ID images are then printed on a print medium.
