Title: Device and method for controlling exposure in a photographic color printer
IPC: G03B27/73
Filed: 1960-05-17
Abstract: 945, 596. Colour photographic printing. PAKO CORPORATION. May 17, 1960 [ May 25, 1959], No. 17348/60. Drawings to Specification. Heading G2C. [Also in Division G1] Photographic multi-colour sensitive material is exposed to a colour negative firstly by directing white light through the negative simultaneously to expose the material to all three primary colours red, green and blue until the exposure to at least one of the colours is completed, secondly by changing the colour of the printing light to one of the colours requiring additional exposure until such exposure is completed, and thirdly by changing the colour of the printing light to the other of the colours requiring additional exposure until such exposure is completed. In apparatus for performing the invention, the exposures are determined photo-electrically by directing part of the printing light after it has passed to the negative, to a photo-electric cell through a rotating filter drum so as to cause the light to be sampled rapidly in succession in the colours red, green and blue. The photo-electric cell output is directed through a synchronously rotating distributer switch to red, green and blue exposure times circuits which when a desired exposure is completed actuates associated relays. In a first embodiment, Fig. 1 (not shown), exposure is effected by white light-source the light from which is modified appropriately for the second and third stages of the exposure by inserting component colour filters in the light beam. The filter movements are controlled electromagnetically in response to actuation of the exposure times relays. In a second embodiment, Fig. 2 (not shown), four printing lamps are provided, white, red, green and blue. The first part of the exposure is effected by the white lamp and the second and third stages by appropriate ones of the coloured lamps. Switching of the lamps is effected by relay circuits actuated by the exposure times relays. A third embodiment, Fig. 3 (not shown), is generally similar but dispenses with the white lamp and employs the simultaneous energization of the red, green and blue lamps for the first stage of the exposure. Specification 945, 593 is referred to.

Abstract: 963,439. Extracting bee venom. D. J. PALMER. May 1, 1962 [May 19, 1961], No. 18244/61. Heading A5B. An apparatus in which bees are collected and their venom obtained comprises a magazine 10 supported above the combs 11 of the hive 12 in association with a bee escape 13 with shutter 14. One face 15 of the magazine is a fine nylon mesh screen and the other face 17 is a glass panel slidably mounted in frame 16 and associated with a shutter 18 which, when opened, admits light into the hive and allows the bees to enter the magazine. For collecting the venom, the magazine may be removed from the hive and placed with face 15 in contact with the collector (see Fig. 2) which comprises a vessel 20 (e.g. of glass) with an upper face 23 of thin silicone rubber on which is placed a sheet of thin, wet tissue paper 26 on which rests an electric shock producing unit comprising a number of fine wires 29 connetted alternately to the live and neutral leads 28 from an A.C. source and mounted on a frame 27. Passage of the electric current causes the bees to sting through the fabric mesh, conductor, tissue paper and silicone rubber from which the stings may be withdrawn leaving globules of pure venom on the underside of the rubber sheet from which it may be removed by washing with a suitable liquid, e.g. physiological saline which may be passed through the collecting vessel via tubes 25. Alternatively, the rubber sheet may be dried and the crystalline venom may then be removed mechanically. Fig. 3 shows an alternative arrangement of the apparatus wherein the collector and associated equipment are placed on top of the magazine whilst it is still connected with the hive.
