摘要:
A radiation sensitive composition containing an adduct of a diazonium resin having pendant diazonium groups, with a sulfonated acrylic copolymer having pendant sulfonate groups. The sulfonated acrylic copolymer contains an acrylic moiety and a sulfonated styryl or acrylic moiety. The copolymer may optionally contain styryl moieties. The composition is useful as a radiation sensitive layer in imaging elements for graphic arts applications and is particularly useful in preparing durable, long-wear, printing plates.
摘要:
Radiation-sensitive compositions, printing plates containing such compositions, imageable by infrared and ultraviolet/visible radiation and imaging method using same. The compositions comprise a thermal-activated acid generator; a crosslinking resin; a binder resin comprising a polymer containing reactive pendant groups selected from hydroxy, carboxylic acid, sulfonamide, and alkoxymethylamides; an infrared absorber; and optionally a UV/visible radiation-activated acid generator for UV/visible sensitization.
摘要:
A lithographic printing surface is prepared using a thermal lithographic printing plate which requires no chemical development to remove areas of the imaged plate. The processless thermal lithographic printing plate has a sheet substrate; a hydrophilic layer on the sheet substrate; and a thermally sensitive imaging layer on the hydrophilic layer. The hydrophilic layer contains about 30 weight % of an aluminosilicate or clay, and preferably has an exterior surface which is micro-porous. The imaging layer preferably is micro-porous. The imaging layer is exposed imagewise using infrared laser radiation to produce an imaged layer. The imaged layer is treated with a conditioner liquid to produce a lithographic printing surface. By this method, the printing plate can be digitally imaged by infrared laser radiation so that the exposed areas become ink receptive and the non-exposed areas repel ink after simple treatment with a conditioner such as an aqueous surfactant solution such as a fountain solution containing an amphoteric surfactant.
摘要:
A process for preparing polyvinyl phosphonic acid by the steps of polymerizing bis(2-chloroethyl) vinyl phosphonate in the presence of a free radical initiator or catalyst, such as dicumyl peroxide. The resulting poly bis(2-chloroethyl) vinyl phosphonate is then subjected to acid hydrolysis to obtain high purity polyvinyl phosphonic acid having measurable and controllable molecular weight distribution.
摘要:
A method for directly imaging a lithographic printing surface using infrared radiation without the requirement of pre- or post-UV-light exposure, or heat treatment employs a printing plate which contains a support with a hydrophilic surface overcoated with an imaging layer. The imaging layer contains at least one polymer having bonded pendent groups which are hydroxy, carboxylic acid, tert-butyl-oxycarbonyl, sulfonamide, amide, nitrile, urea, or combinations thereof; as well as an infrared absorbing compound. The imaging layer may contain a second polymer which has bonded pendent groups which are 1,2-napthoquinone diazide, hydroxy, carboxylic acid, sulfonamide, hydroxymethyl amide, alkoxymethyl amide, nitrile, maleimide, urea, or combinations thereof. The imaging layer may also contain a visible absorption dye, a solubility inhibiting agent, or both. In practice, the imaging layer is imagewise exposed to infrared radiation to produce exposed image areas in the imaged layer which have transient solubility in aqueous alkaline developing solution, so that solubility is gradually lost over a period of time until the imaged areas become as insoluble as non-imaged areas. Within a short time period of the imaging exposure, the imaged layer is developed with an aqueous alkaline developing solution to form the lithographic printing surface. In this method, the infrared radiation preferably is laser radiation which is digitally controlled.
摘要:
A plurality of audio signals are broadcasted concurrently on a plurality of substantially separate audio channels. Each of the audio channels has a center frequency greater than approximately 16 kHz. Broadcasting the audio signals causes one or more clients to automatically retrieve a resource from a resource location. The plurality of audio signals collectively encode a resource identifier that describes the resource location.

A variety of enhancements are described for synchronizing delivery of content to media that includes a mix of live television, re-broadcast television, recorded television, and pre-recorded multi-media.
摘要:
At a commercial location, broadcasting a content acquisition cue via an audio signal. The audio signal has a frequency that renders the signal inaudible to a human; corresponds to the commercial location; and bears information that causes the device to obtain content relevant to the commercial location.
摘要:
Where multiple client devices are synchronized to multiple, asynchronous instances of a time-based media presentation such as live and time-shifted views of a television broadcast, interactive content can be delivered to each one of the various devices at a particular time (or “time offset”) within the presentation independent of when each instance of the time-based media presentation is viewed.
摘要:
An audio channel of a time-based media presentation provides a basis for synchronizing to the presentation across a variety of platforms independent of when and where the presentation is being viewed. By pre-processing the media into a series of non-unique hashes, and similarly processing an audio stream of the media captured at a client device, a comparison can be made that yields an accurate time offset within the presentation. The comparison may usefully be performed over a data network using a server that hosts data from the pre-processed media, and a variety of applications may be deployed on the client device based on the resulting synchronization.
