Abstract:
A method of producing a record of original images wherein the images are converted to equivalent heat images, the heat images are then transferred to a heat and magnetic field sensitive medium, and the final image is made readable by the action of magnetic means. A method of providing an information display which is viewable by means of reflected light and adaptable to be sustained in memory or reusable by erasure of the displayed information. The heat and magnetic field sensitive medium incorporates a capsular coating wherein the capsules contain magnetic particles suspended in a heat-meltable material, so that, as the material is changed from a solid to a flowable state by heating thereof, the particles with the scope of the heat image have freedom of motion and are rearranged by the magnetic field to a pattern corresponding to that of the original image, whereby the image is reproduced on the medium upon cooling of the heat-meltable material.
Abstract:
A PROCESS OF MANUFACTURE OF MINUTE CAPSULE-FIBER UNITS, EN MASSE, COMPRISING THE STEPS OF (1) DISPERSING CELLULOSE FIBERS AND OIL MATERIAL AS DROPLETS IN AN AQUEOUS SOLUTION OF A FILM-FORMING POLYMERIC MATERIAL, (2) CHANGING THE CONDITIONS OF THE SOLUTION TO MAKE THE POLYMERIC MATERIAL LESS SOLUBLE SO AS TO GIVE AN EMERGENT COACERVATE PHASE OF POLYMERIC MATERIAL WHICH WRAPS THE OIL DROPLETS AND ATTACHES THEM TO THE FIBERS TO GIVE CAPSULE-FIBERS UNITS AND (3) HARDENING THE POLYMERIC MATERIAL OF THE CAPSULEFIBER UNITS.
