Abstract:
A ROM in the control circuit of a color printer stores a threshold matrix. The individual elements of the threshold matrix correspond to print dots, the number of which is X.times.Y and which form 1 pixel in the original image. Values t (x, y) which are integral numbers not less than 0 are assigned one to each of the individual elements in a predetermined order. Using the threshold matrix, the CPU of the control circuit creates mask patterns for representing halftones. A value of 1 is subtracted from the tone number allotted to the tone of color of a pixel in an image to be printed, and the resultant value is substituted for a variable G. When a gradation for image data representing the pixel is given as "g", the condition required for setting ON (transferring toner to print) the dot specified by the coordinates (x, y) in the pixel in the case of the gradation "g" is expressed by the following formula (6):t (x, y).ltoreq.g.times.X.times.Y/G (6)Based on the threshold matrix and the formula (6), the CPU of the control section creates mask patterns in the case where the gradation "g" takes values 0 to G-1 in sequence, and develops those mask patterns in a RAM.

Abstract:
This invention provides novel physiologically active substances PF1092A, PF1092B and PF1092C, which can inhibit binding of progesterone to progesterone receptor. These substances were obtained by culturing a fungal microorganism belonging to the genus Penicillium using a medium containing ordinary nutrients for microorganisms and isolating the physiologically active substances PF1092A, PF1092B and PF1092C from the resulting culture mixture by means of solvent extraction, silica gel column chromatography, and the like. Molecular formulae of the novel physiologically active substances PF1092A, PF1092B and PF1092C are C.sub.17 H.sub.20 O.sub.5, C.sub.17 H.sub.20 O.sub.5 and C.sub.15 H.sub.18 O.sub.4, respectively.

Abstract:
Sesquiterpene derivatives, represented by the following formulae (I) and (II), having progesterone receptor binding inhibitory activity are disclosed. They can be used as therapeutic and prophylactic agents for progesterone-related diseases, for example, as a carcinostatic agent for breast cancer or ovarian cancer, a therapeutic agent for hysteromyoma, endometriosis, meningioma, or myeloma, an abortifacient, an oral contraceptive pill, or a therapeutic or prophylactic agent for osteoporosis or climacteric disturbance. These compounds have no steroid skeleton and, hence, are considered to be advantageously free from side effect inherent in steroid such as found in conventional progesterone receptor binding inhibitors having a steroid skeleton. ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 represents a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, C.sub.1 -C.sub.5 alkoxy, or phenylthio; R.sup.2 represents C.sub.1 -C.sub.5 alkoxy or C.sub.2 -C.sub.5 alkanoyloxy; and ---- with letters a, b, c, d, and e attached thereto represent a double bond or a single bond; R.sup.3 has the same meaning as R.sup.2 ; and R.sup.4 represents C.sub.1 -C.sub.5 alkoxy.
