Abstract:
A color-change material has a reversibly thermochromic layer and a porous layer containing a low-refractive-index pigment. The color-change material changes its color in response to heat or water. The reversibly thermochromic layer and the porous layer are superposed on each other, or the reversibly thermochromic layer and the porous layer are formed side by side. Alternatively, a color-change material has a substrate and formed thereon a color-changing porous layer including a reversibly thermochromic material, a low-refractive-index pigment, and a binder. The reversibly thermochromic material and the pigment are dispersed in the binder and tenaciously adherent thereto.
Abstract:
A reproducing apparatus of a video disc player, wherein for a special reproduction such as a fast forward reproduction, or a reverse reproduction from a CLV disc, a field memory is provided for storing video signals of length of one field. A reading-in operation to the field memory is synchronized with a reproduced synchronizing signal. A writing-out operation from the field memory is synchronized with a reference synchronizing signal. A discontinuity of phase caused by a track jump is eliminated, and a stabilized picture on a TV monitor can be provided.
Abstract:
A CRT drive circuit for amplifying a video signal applied through a video signal transmission cable to a level sufficient to drive a CRT wherein a circuit for clamping the video signal to a white level during the entire period when the cable is disconnected is provided at an input stage, a blanking circuit for clamping the video signal to a black level during a flyback period is provided in an intermediate stage, and a D.C. restore circuit for clamping the black level of the video signal output to a level corresponding to a black level input to the CRT is provided at an output stage. When the cable is disconnected, the entire display area of the CRT screen displays white so that the CRT drive circuit can be readily checked for proper operation.
Abstract:
An accessory making device (1) of the present invention is a device for making an accessory including a core (83) formed into a substantially ring shape by connecting both ends of a stretchable cord-like body (46) having rubber-like elasticity and a decoration main body (83) disposed around the core in such a manner so as to abut both ends thereof against each other in a contracted state so as to be reduced in axial length. The accessory making device (1) includes a long rigid holder (5). The holder (5) can retain connecting portions (47M, 47F) on both end sides of the cord-like body (46) with the connecting portions (47M, 47F) of the cord-like body (46) separated from each other, and can be inserted through the decoration main body (83).
Abstract:
On a support, a porous resin layer which is opaque in a water-unabsorbed state and capable of turning transparent in a water-absorbed state is formed, and also a water-repellent resin layer is so provided as to exist in the porous resin layer at its some area or areas in a co-existent state, to make up a water-metachromatic laminate. A novel toy element can be provided in which latent images standing invisible in a normal condition are rendered visible by means of water as a medium so as to be visually distinguished.

Abstract:
A water-metachromatic sheet has a support with a porous layer containing a binder resin with dispersed fine-particle silicic acid. The sheet is capable of rendering different transparency between water absorbed and unabsorbed states. The support is a cloth having a weight per unit area of 30 gm2 to 1,000 gm2, the fine-particle silicic acid is contained in an amount of from 1 gm2 to 30 gm2, and the fine-particle silicic acid is incorporated in an amount from 0.5 to 2 parts by weight based on 1 part by weight of the binder resin.
