A wearable item comprising a conductive transfer applied to a surface of the wearable item is described. The conductive transfer comprises first and second non-conductive ink layers and an electrically conductive layer positioned between the two non-conductive ink layers. The transfer also has an adhesive layer which adheres the conductive transfer to the surface of the wearable item. The conductive transfer is configured to withstand elongation such that the resistance of the electrically conductive layer provides a resistance within a pre-specified range.

Provided is a gel nail sticker including: a lower laminated part which is a part directly attached to a nail or a toenail, and has a color or a pattern, and is formed of a flexible material to correspond to a curved surface of the nail or the toenail; and an upper laminated part which is a transparent coated layer positioned on the lower laminated part and providing glossiness to a color or a pattern of the lower laminated part, and is in a flexible semi-solid state to correspond to the curved surface of the nail or the toenail before being attached to the nail or the toenail, and is cured to a solid state while maintaining a form attached to the nail or the toenail when an ultraviolet ray is irradiated to the upper laminated part after the upper laminated part is attached to the nail or the toenail.

The present invention addresses at least the problem of providing a method for forming a high-resolution foil image regardless of the hydrophilicity of a recording medium. In order to solve said problem, the present invention provides a method wherein an adhesive ink that is formed by dispersing or dissolving a polymer resin in water and in a water-soluble organic solvent is used as an adhesive for a foil, the adhesive is applied by means of inkjet printing, and a foil image is formed. The polymer resin of the adhesive ink is a polymer of a monomer that includes (meth)acrylic acid and a (meth)acrylic acid alkyl ester having a C.sub.2-12 alkyl group, the acid value of the polymer resin being 50-120 mg KOH/g, and the glass transition temperature of the polymer resin being 30-110 C.

A conductive transfer for application to a surface is described. The conductive transfer comprises first and second non-conductive ink layers and an electrically conductive layer positioned between the first and second non-conductive ink layers. The conductive transfer also includes an adhesive layer for adhering the conductive transfer to the surface of an article.

A plotter includes a mounting portion, a first movement mechanism, a second movement mechanism, a processor, and a memory. The memory is configured to store computer-readable instructions that, when executed by the processor, instruct the processor to perform processes. The processes include identifying a contour of a pattern to be processed on the workpiece, generating plot data instructing drawing positions of a drawing line representing the contour and a fill line, and controlling the first movement mechanism and the second movement mechanism on the basis of the generated plot data, relatively moving the mounting portion and the workpiece, and drawing the drawing line and the fill line on the workpiece using a pen mounted on the mounting portion. The fill line is a line to fill, using the pen, an offset area offset by a first predetermined amount to an inward side of the contour from the drawing line.

The present invention relates to a device and method for transferring an impression from a substrate to a surface comprising a surface coated with first layer of release agent; either a second layer of polyvinyl acetate; and a third layer of mixture of acrylamide and styrene acetate or a single layer of mixture of polyvinyl acetate, acrylamide and styrene acetate; and having the impression to be transferred thereon, and a method of making the aforesaid device and transferring an impression from a substrate to a surface.

The decorative decal assembly (20) is configured to be secured within a recessed surface (26) of a weight plate (18) and includes an adhesive layer (36), a printable surface (44) of an adjacent ink protective printing layer (42), and one or more print decals (48) secured to the printable surface (44) and between an upper support surface (40) of the adhesive layer (36) and the ink protective layer (42). The recessed surface (26) defines a display area (56) surrounded on all sides by an expansion zone (58) extending between the display area (56) and the shoulders (30, 32) of the weight plate (18) that define the recessed surface (26) to permit limited expansion of perimeter edges (62A, 62B) of the decal assembly (20) into the expansion zone (58) without contacting the shoulders (30, 32) whenever the weight plate (18) experiences a bounce shock.

An image transfer sheet includes a release paper, a glue layer, the glue layer having a lower surface removably glued to an upper surface of the release paper, a transfer film having a release property with respect to the image layer and an easy adhesion property with respect to the glue layer, and an image layer partially between the transfer film and the glue layer, a lower surface of the transfer film being in contact with the image layer at a portion where the image layer is present and in contact with the glue layer at a portion where the image layer is not present.

A decoration method of a printed matter includes: forming a printed layer on a surface of a sheet or of a mounting paper with a transparent varnish, printing a predetermined pattern on the surface of the printed layer by an ink or by a resin which are capable of being adhered to the printed layer; and pressing a metal foil onto the pattern printed by the ink or the resin with an adhesive agent. The adhesive agent does not adhere to the printed layer but adheres to the pattern. As a result, the metal foil 6 is printed only to the pattern.

The present invention provides methods of treating malaria by administration of a compound of Formula (I): or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of said compound, to a subject in need thereof, wherein the variables X, R1, R3, R4, R5, A, B, L, m and n are as defined herein. The invention also provides uses of the compounds of Formula (I), as defined herein, for inhibiting plasmepsin V activity, for treating a Plasmodium infection, and for treating malaria. Also provided are methods of treatment further comprising administration of one or more additional anti-malarial compounds.
