According to one embodiment, an aqueous inkjet ink includes a dispersion medium that contains water and a water-soluble polyhydric alcohol having a weight average molecular weight of 400 or more, and a pigment. The pigment accounts for less than 5 mass % of the total amount of the aqueous inkjet ink. The aqueous inkjet ink has viscosities (mPa·s) measured using a cone-plate type viscometer at 20 rpm and satisfying the following relationships: VA/VB≧1.5 VA≧10 mPa·s 3 mPa·s≦VB≦15 mPa·s, where VA is the viscosity at 30° C., and VB the viscosity at 45° C.

A computing program and apparatus for controlling computing resources, and a distributed processing system, which realize determining a computing node to be allocated to a computing task, with taking a time required for changing the state of running software into consideration. A node information acquisition unit continuously acquires and stores environment information indicating running software from computing nodes in a node information memory. A request acceptor accepts a computing request including environment condition information specifying software necessary for execution of a computing task. A node selector compares the environment information of each computing node with the environment condition information to preferentially select a computing node that requires the least software to start, as a commuting node to be allocated. A node controller controls the selected computing node to start the necessary software and then execute the computing task.

An image recording apparatus includes a recording head and a first conveyance unit. An applying unit applies the recording medium on the first conveyance unit with treatment liquid. One end of a second conveyance unit is connected on an upstream side from the applying unit disposed on the first conveyance unit and the other end is connected on a downstream side from the applying unit disposed on the first conveyance unit and on the upstream side from the recording head in the conveyance direction, the second conveyance unit conveying the recording medium. A conveyance switching unit is disposed on the one end of the second conveyance unit and switches conveyance of the recording medium to the applying unit side of the first conveyance unit or to the second conveyance unit side according to a content of recording data.

According to an embodiment of the invention, in an inkjet printer, after attaching a colorless pretreatment liquid onto plain paper, at least one ink composition capable of reacting with the pretreatment liquid is injected, thereby forming an image. The pretreatment liquid contains water, a metal salt, a fluorescent brightener and at least one butane derivative selected from the group consisting of 3-methoxy-3-methyl-1-butanol, 1,3-butylene glycol and isoprene glycol. The ink composition contains a coloring material and water.

An air removing device is connected to a tank to contain ink through a first supply tube, and an ink-jet head is connected to the air removing device through a second supply tube. The first supply tube and ink-jet head are heated and controlled. Air dissolved in ink is sucked out through a hollow fiber membrane provided in a housing by operating a vacuum pump by supplying ink to the hollow fiber membrane while heating and controlling atmosphere in the housing. Thus, air dissolved in ink is removed, and ink heated to a temperature suitable for ejection is supplied to the ink-jet head.

In a search method, integration metadata is newly introduced in which structure data defining an output structure of a query result, a correspondence relation between elements in the structure data and elements in databases, an association of elements between the databases and a bi-directional conversion function applied to said association of said elements between said databases or a specific element of said databases are defined. And, this search method includes: accepting a query of integrated data reference for a plurality of databases; extracting a value of an element in database, which corresponds to the top-level element in a structure identified from the integration metadata in a integration metadata storage by upwardly tracing the structure based on the query; extracting a value of each element in each database by downwardly tracing the structure based on a value of an element in the database, which corresponding to the top-level element in the structure; and outputting the extracted value of each element in each database according to data stored in the integration metadata storage.
摘要:
A method for manufacturing a liquid crystal display panel includes coating a resin film on one of a pair of substrates facing each other and patterning the resin film to form pillar spacers. The surface of the substrate where the pillar spacers have been formed is optically cleaned, and alignment film is formed on the optically cleaned substrate. In the optical cleaning process, a light source having an emission peak in a wavelength range of 180 nm or less, or 260 nm or more, and not having an emission peak in a wavelength range from 180 nm to 260 nm is used.
