Abstract:
An ink jet printing process having the steps of: A) providing an ink jet printer that is responsive to digital data signals; B) loading the printer with ink jet recording elements having a support having thereon an image-receiving layer; C) loading the printer with an ink jet ink composition including water, humectant and a metallized, phthalocyanine colorant, the metallized, phthalocyanine colorant having the formula: MPc(SO3X)a(SO2NRR′)b wherein: M represents a metal; Pc represents a phthalocyanine nucleus; each X independently represents hyrdrogen, alkali metal or an organic cation; a is from 0 to 3; b is from 1 to 4; each R independently represents a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group having from 1 to about 15 carbon atoms, a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group, or a substituted or unsubstituted heterocyclic group; and each R′ independently represents R or hydrogen; with the proviso that a+b is an average of from 2 to 4; and with the further proviso that at least about 50 wt. % of the metallized, phthalocyanine colorant is present in the composition as particles; and D) printing on the image-receiving layer using the ink jet ink in response to the digital data signals.
Abstract:
A process is disclosed of preparing a photographically useful emulsion containing radiation-sensitive silver iodohalide grains. Silver halide grains having a face centered cubic rock salt crystal lattice structure are precipitated within an aqueous dispersing medium including a hydrophilic colloid peptizer. Iodide ion is introduced into the crystal lattice structure by introducing elemental iodine into the dispersing medium and maintaining the dispersing medium within a pH range of from 5 to 8.
Abstract:
A process of preparing a photographic emulsion having radiation-sensitive silver iodohalide grains. Iodide is introduced into the grains by releasing iodide ions from iodate (IO.sub.3.sup.-). Release of iodide ions from the IO.sub.3.sup.- is employed to enhance the uniformity of iodide availability during emulsion preparation, either during grain precipitation or subsequent halide conversion. The process of the invention is in one preferred form directed to the partial halide conversion of tabular grains. A speed-granularity advantage is demonstrated.

Abstract:
A webcam indicator system includes a computer and a camera connected to the computer at a camera interface. An operating system is configured on the computer. A camera device driver enables operation of the camera interface. A device manager operates on the computer. The device manager has a camera activity monitor and a microphone activity monitor. An indicator device application is installed on the computer. The indicator device application queries the device manager for the status of the camera activity and the microphone activity. An indicator device is external to the computer. The indicator device is configured to be connected to the computer at an indicator device interface. A supplemental indicator light is mounted to the indicator device.
Abstract:
A swingset frame shade has a canopy top. The canopy top is bounded by and has a canopy front support, a canopy rear support, a canopy right upper support, and a canopy left upper support. A right panel is connected to the canopy top at a canopy right upper support. A extends canopy right front support extending downwardly from the canopy right upper support and a canopy right rear support extends downwardly from the canopy right upper support. The canopy right front support and the canopy right rear support join together at a right lower tip. A left panel connects to the canopy top at a canopy left upper support. A canopy left front support extends downwardly from the canopy left upper support and a canopy left rear support extends downwardly from the canopy left upper support.
Abstract:
A trampoline has a trampoline frame, springs connecting to the trampoline frame, a trampoline bed, and spring connectors formed on the trampoline bed at a bed edge of the trampoline bed. The spring connectors connect to the springs. A link retainer is formed on the spring connector. The link retainer has a link opening and a link notch. An outer cover has a hook opening and a strap slot. The outer cover covers the link retainer. The hook opening of the outer cover aligns with the link notch of the link retainer, and the strap slot aligns with the link opening of the outer cover.
