摘要： The invention is generally accomplished by providing a tabular-grain silver halide emulsion in which at least 50 percent of the total grain projected area is accounted for by tabular grains having a mean diameter of at least 0.6 micrometer and a spacing between at least two parallel twin planes of less than about 0.011 micrometer. In a preferred form, at least 90 percent of the total grain projected area is accounted for by the tabular grains of the invention having a mean diameter of at least 0.6 micrometer and a spacing between at least two parallel twin planes of less than 0.012 micrometer.

摘要： The present invention is directed to a method of forming a positive image in a photothermographic film exposed by electrons in a transmission electron microscope to form a latent image in the film. The photothermographic film has at least one imaging layer comprising a potentially negative-working emulsion, but wherein thermal development of unexposed silver salts in exposed areas relative to unexposed areas is inhibited when thermally developing the imagewise exposed assembly, thereby producing a positive image. The present invention is also directed to the processing of the photothermographic film in which a positive image characterized by high speed and discrimination is formed in the film when heated above 150° C.

摘要： A wristwatch contains communication and memory circuitry and a transmitter. The memory circuit stores a personal identification number of a single user. The communication and memory circuitry is driven by the same battery which powers the timekeeping structure of the watch. A transmitter transmits data from the reader to the wristwatch, placed proximate thereto. The reader has a keypad by which the user can enter a personal identification number, and the watch compares the transmitted number to the user-entered number. If the numbers match, a transaction may occur.
