Abstract: A method of liquid filtration comprises providing an electrically conducting high surface area bed which has been electrically charged and passing the liquid to be filtered therethrough to cause electrosorption or adsorption of contaminants therein by the bed. The bed can be charged by application of a potential thereto or passage of a current therethrough. Regeneration of the bed can be achieved by changing the electrical potential of the bed and passing a cleansing liquid therethrough. This causes the contaminants retained within the bed to be desorbed, discharged into the cleansing liquid and thereby removed from the bed.

Abstract: An electrophotographic color proofing apparatus including a copyboard carrying a color separated positive and capable of being positioned into intimate contact with a charged photoconductive coating of an electrophotographic member. The engaged members are exposed to light, discharging the coating in increments to form a latent electrostatic image thereon. The copyboard is withdrawn and the exposed electrophotographic member rotated 180 degrees facing toward a toning assembly consisting of a row of plural toning units, each carrying a different color toner and arranged in line for linear translation below the exposed electrophotographic member with a selected one toning unit thereof being activated to apply a selected color toner to the latent electrostatic image. The toned member again is revolved 180 degrees. A pre-wet transfer medium in the form of print paper stock is engaged with the toned member for transfer of the toned image, preferably by drawing a roller across said member while employing a simultaneous electrical bias. A full color proof can be obtained by repeating the cycle, activating successive individual toning units of the assembly and using the same sheet of transfer medium. Registry of plural images applied to a single sheet is effected mechanically, as by upstanding pins provided on the support for electrophotographic member and/or the copyboard. Provision is made to clean both the photoconductive surface and the bias plates of the toning units of excess and/or residual toner.

Abstract: Two sets of electrode plates (2,3) are connected alternately to positive and zero or negative potentials (23,24) via amplifiers (35,36). Near the insulating strips (5,6,7,8;9) the plates are deformed into V-notches (10,11,12,13) to protect the strips against X-rays which could be emitted in their direction giving rise to leakage currents. The strips are joined by layers (28) of epoxy resin to a level below that of conductive coatings (17,18) so that the resin does not contact the strips themselves. In a direction opposite to that of incident X-rays, a raised edge (15) prevents unabsorbed radiation from striking the base of the chamber. Ionisation is thus confined to the region of uniform electric field within the vol. sepg. two successive plates. Current leakage into the inter electrode insulators and electrode terminals is minimised. The electrodes themselves can be made more rigid to eliminate microphony, and thinner to improve the cellular density and spatial resolution.

Abstract: In a digital fluoroscopy system, analog video signals representative of successive x-ray image frames are converted to digital pixel values that are used as addresses, respectively. A digital memory stores at its respective locations a digital value corresponding to the logarithm of an address value so that when a digital pixel value represented by an address is fed from the analog-to-digital converter to the memory the memory will output the logarithm of the pixel value in digital form. Pixel values for successive x-ray images are subtracted in-phase on a pixel-by-pixel basis to produce digital difference pixel signals which are converted to analog video signals for driving a television monitor that displays an image representative of the difference between x-ray images.
