Abstract:
One embodiment of the invention comprises a silver halide light sensitive photographic print element comprising a support bearing on one side thereof: a blue color sensitive record comprising at least one blue-sensitive silver halide emulsion yellow-image forming layer, a red color sensitive record comprising at least one red-sensitive silver halide emulsion cyan-image forming layer, and a green color sensitive record comprising at least one green-sensitive silver halide emulsion magenta-image forming layer; wherein the overall contrast (OC) of the green record is greater than 1.9, and the mid-scale contrast (MSC) of the green record is about 3.2 or more, wherein the parameters OC and MSC are as defined herein. A further embodiment of the invention comprises a process of forming an image in a motion picture silver halide light sensitive color photographic print element comprising: (a) digitally exposing a photographic light sensitive element according to digital image data using a digital film recording device to form a color negative film record, and printing the negative film record on the silver halide light sensitive photographic print element to form an exposed print element, or (b) directly exposing the silver halide light sensitive photographic print element according to digital image data with a digital film recording device; and processing the exposed photographic print element resulting from (a) or (b) to form a developed image; wherein the overall contrast (OC) of the green record of the print element is greater than 1.9. Preferably, the elements of the invention and the elements used in the process ol the invention have corresponding red and blue OC values which are at least 90% of the green values, and MSC values within .+-.10% of the green values, enabling the production of outstanding projected images having black densities and with digital assistance, optimal mid-scale contrasts which together cannot be easily obtained with traditionally designed color print films.
Abstract:
A silver halide light sensitive photographic print element is disclosed comprising a support bearing on one side thereof: a blue color sensitive record comprising at least one blue-sensitive silver halide emulsion yellow-image forming layer, a red color sensitive record comprising at least one red-sensitive silver halide emulsion cyan-image forming layer, and a green color sensitive record comprising at least one green-sensitive silver halide emulsion magenta-image forming layer; wherein the overall contrast (OC) of the green record is greater than 1.9, the mid-scale contrast (MSC) of the green record is less than 3.2, and the upper-scale contrast (USC) of the green record is greater than 3.2, wherein the parameters OC, MSC and USC are as defined herein. A process of forming an image in a motion picture silver halide light sensitive photographic print element as described above comprises exposing the silver halide light sensitive photographic print element to a color negative film record, and processing the exposed photographic print element to form a developed image having maximum green Equivalent Neutral Densities of at least 3.8. In accordance with preferred embodiments, the elements are exposed and processed to form images with red and blue maximum Equivalent Neutral Densities which are also at least 3.8. Preferably, the elements of the invention and the elements used in the process of the invention have corresponding red and blue OC and USC values which are at least 90% of the green values, and MSC values within .+-.10% of the green values, enabling the production of outstanding projected images having high black densities and optimal mid-scale contrasts.
Abstract:
A higher order polyamide monofilament suture exhibits improved properties such as greater resistance to creep, greater knot security and greater chemical stability in aqueous environments.
Abstract:
A gliding decelerator and an assembly for use therein for improving the l to drag ratio associated therewith. In a preferred embodiment, the gliding decelerator includes a ram-air canopy shaped to include a plurality of half-cells, each half-cell having an open leading end and a closed tailing end. Inflatable bladders are secured within the respective half-cells of the canopy, the inflatable bladders being appropriately dimensioned so that, when inflated soon after the canopy has been opened, each bladder fills its respective half-cell in such a way as to stiffen the half-cell both along its length and at its open leading end. The inflatable bladders may be inflated simultaneously or in stages, the inflation means comprising a gas source, a flexible manifold connecting the gas source to the half-cells and valve means for controlling the output of the gas source. Control of the valve means may be automatic, e.g., a timer, a remote control unit, or may be controlled by a parachutist, e.g., completion of an electric circuit. The inflation means may be mounted within the wing-shaped canopy or may be externally mounted.
Abstract:
A process is provided for manufacturing a polypropylene monofilament suture exhibiting reduced strain energy, increased knot security and greater resistance to acquiring an in-storage set.
Abstract:
A crude oil product is extracted from a tar sand by first crushing the tar sand as mined and then fine grinding the crushed material in a grinding mill in the presence of a cleansing liquid, such as an aqueous solution of a caustic. The resulting slurry is passed into suitable extractor-classifier equipment, such as that shown in U.S. Pat. No. 3,814,336, in which a body of cleansing liquid is maintained. Agitation of the slurry in such maintained body of cleansing liquid substantially completes removal of the bituminous matter from the sand, and the resulting crude oil and cleansing liquid phase is discharged separately from the sand solid phase. The liquid phase is treated for the removal of residual sand particles and for the separation of residual cleansing liquid from the crude oil. The cleansing liquid so recovered is recycled and the crude oil is passed to further processing or for use as such.
Abstract:
A shredding apparatus including a housing or hopper and a shredding assembly positioned within the housing or hopper. The shredding assembly including a cutter bar assembly and a rotary blade assembly. Each of the assemblies including a number of identical cutter blades which are interchangeable with each other and are individually reversible. The cutter bar assembly also including a cutter bar positioned in abutting engagement with one end of each of the cutter blades mounted on the cutter bar assembly. The cutter bar including cutting edges on each side so it can be reversed with respect to the cutter blades. The cutter blades on the rotary cutter bar assembly are arranged to shear waste material at a downwardly and outwardly inclined angle so that the cutter blade acts to draw or pull waste material into the shredder assembly. The hopper or housing being provided with an easy access door on the front wall which can be pivoted outwardly from the hopper.
Abstract:
A waste mangler system, optionally provided with classification means, for processing garbage, municipal waste, and the like whereby to mangle or break up compacted garbage and other materials, break open bags and bales, and otherwise treat the refuse for a flailing-type reduction. The machine is vertically oriented and includes a rotor having rapidly revolving cross-arms, mounted to a central shaft, which are provided with rigid impact blades and flail elements. The impact blades include rearwardly tapered leading edges so that debris may slide outwardly thereon under the action of centrifugal force to approach the area of reduction proximate the flail elements used. The material descending through the drum of the machinery is deposited down to suitable conveyer means that may be coupled to air classification or other means for material separation and further processing.
