Inventor: ADAM HENRY HARPER
IPC: G03D3/08
Filed: 1998-09-02
Abstract: Method and apparatus are disclosed for washing
exposed photographic material in less time and with a
reduced replenishment rate compared with conventional
processing. Multi-stage counter-current washing is
employed, in which the time that the material spends
in each stage is such that equilibrium of chemical
concentration between solution contained in the
material and solution contained in the stages (a) is
reached in the final stage, but (b) is reached in
fewer than all the stages, and wherein the material
resides in at least one stage for a time that is
different from that in at least one other of the
stages. Preferably the longest time is spent in the
final stage. The time distribution throughout the
stages can be optimised to produce a final tank
concentration comparable to that obtained with
conventional processing.

Abstract: A method for improving the etching slope in etching
a Pt layer used as a storage node of a semiconductor
device is provided. By the method, an adhesive layer
(110) including Ti on the Pt layer (108) is changed to
TiOx, by using an etching gas containing oxygen, to act as
an additional etching mask. The Pt layer (108) is
overetched by using the fact that the Tiox layer is formed
to avoid overall erosion of the adhesive layer mask at a
predetermined temperature, i.e., 120 ∼ 300°C, to thereby
improve the etching slope of the Pt layer.

Abstract: A spray gun includes a handle portion (26) and an extension
portion (28). A nozzle (42) is connected with an outer end of the
extension portion (28). An electrode assembly (46) is disposed in
the extension portion (28) to establish an electrical field to
electrostatically charge particles of coating material. A
coating material flow control member (74) and a purge air flow
control member (110) are disposed on the handle portion (26).
Operation of either one of the two flow control members (74,110)
actuates a membrane switch assembly. Operation of the
purge air flow control member (110) directs the flow of air to
the coating material passage in the extension portion (28) to
remove excess coating material from the passage and from
the nozzle (42). Different size hand grips may be mounted on
the handle portion (26) of the spray gun to accommodate
operators having hands of different sizes. Passages for
air and electrical conductors are formed in the handle and
extension portions (26,28) of the spray gun by cooperation between
outer side walls of the handle and extension portions and
inner wall structures. A voltage multiplier unit (48) in the
extension portion (28) of the spray gun is exposed to a flow of
air to transfer heat from the voltage multiplier (48).

Abstract: Disclosed is an optical gain equalizer for equalizing
optical powers for a plurality of signal lights having
wavelength different from one another. Disclosed are also an
optical transmission line and an optical wavelength multiplex
transmission system, for which the optical gain equalizer is
used. The optical gain equalizer has a characteristic where a
loss is monotonously changed in a signal wavelength band. A
characteristic of a monotonous reduction of loss from a short
wavelength to a long wavelength and/or a characteristic of a
monotonous increase of loss from a short wavelength to a long
wavelength is utilized. Specifically, the optical gain
equalizer is composed of a well-known optical element such as
an optical etalon filter, an optical band-pass filter, an
optical fiber grating or the like. Even if a loss varies on
the optical transmission line, the optical gain equalizer can
provide an uniform optical power for respective channels.

Abstract: A single headed piston type refrigerant compressor
having a cylinder block forming therein a plurality of
cylinder bores receiving a plurality of single-headed
pistons for reciprocation therein, and a front housing
joined to the cylinder block to define a crank chamber
for receiving therein a cam plate. An extended bore-forming
portion of the cylinder block having partial
cylindrical guide surfaces each being continuous with the
corresponding cylinder bore and capable of being in slide
contact with the piston head portion of the single-headed
piston and the outer circumference of a shoe-holding
portion of the single-headed piston is formed by
extending a peripheral portion of a front end of the
cylinder block into the crank chamber. A projecting
portion formed on each single head piston protrudes from
a side end surface of the shoe-holding portion extending
behind the piston head portion into the crank chamber.
Therefore, the extended bore-forming portion can
additionally be extended toward the crank chamber by a
length corresponding to the distance of dislocation of
the projecting portion into a space on the front side of
the crank chamber to increase 
additionally the length of contact of the piston with
cylinder bore.

Abstract: A watermarking scheme for images which include techniques for inserting and extracting
watermarks in the frequency domain and for determining whether an image so watermarked has been
tampered with. Watermark insertion is accomplished by embedding the bits of a digital signature of a
hash function of the image in the frequency coefficients of the image. Tamper detection is accomplished
generally as follows: the watermark which was embedded during the watermark insertion process is
extracted from the image; the hash function of the image is computed as in the insertion process; it is
verified using a public key whether the extracted watermark is a valid signature of the hash value. If so,
then there is assurance that the image has not been tampered with. Otherwise, there is reason to conclude
that the image has been tampered with.
