    摘要: A process of preparing a radiation-sensitive silver halide emulsion is disclosed in which the silver halide grains form dispersed clumps. A population of fine silver halide grains is precipitated at higher concentrations than previously taught for preparing this type of an emulsion by employing a peptizer limited in amount, limited in methionine content, or both. Following formation of the grains, they are aggregated into clumps by the addition of a surfactant, optionally assisted by the adding iodide, increasing pH or both. The grain clumps are stabilized against further aggregation by adding a high methionine peptizer and optionally assisted by the precipitation of additional silver halide.

    摘要: The present invention is directed to a method of forming a positive image in a photothermographic element comprising a potentially negative-working emulsion wherein fog density development is imagewise inhibited in exposed areas of the image upon thermal development. In one embodiment of the invention, a density-inhibiting agent is released during thermal development which agent inhibits the thermal development of unexposed silver salts in the exposed areas relative to the unexposed areas. The method preferably comprises imagewise exposing the film with a non-solarizing amount of radiation/energy to form a latent image and thermally developing the latent image in a single development step to produce a positive image in the element. The present invention is also directed to a photothermographic element that can be used in the present process in which a positive image characterized by high speed and discrimination is formed when exposed and thermally heated above 150° C.

    摘要: Communications between an RFID interrogator and an RFID transponder require that no more than one transponder be present in the reading range of the interrogator and transmitting into motion at any given time. If multiple transponders are in the field, then a collision between the return signals of the transponders occurs, rendering the signals unreadable. A method to resolve the collisions and allow for accurate transmission of each transponder's data is given. This method is especially effective over other methods when the transponder is a read-only type of device, whereby there is no communications interrogator on board the read-only transponder.

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: A radiographic element for medical diagnostic imaging is disclosed comprised of a transparent support and first and second silver halide emulsion layer units coated on opposite sides of the film support, each emulsion layer unit being comprised of a silver iodohalide tabular grain emulsion containing less than 5 mole percent iodide, based on silver. An improvement in speed in relation to granularity is obtained by the presence of tabular grains having {111} major faces, containing a maximum surface iodide concentration along their edges, and a lower iodide concentration within their corners than elsewhere along their edges.

To further enhance sensitivity, one of the sensitivity enhancing dopants is restricted to the tabular grains while the other is restricted to the silver halide epitaxy.
