The coalesced latex may be of polyvinylidene chloride, lightly carboxylated styrenebutadiene copolymer, polyvinyl chloride, vinyl chloride-vinyl acetate copolymer, terpolymer of butyl acrylate-methyl methacrylate-small amounts of acrylic or methacrylic acid, copolymer of butyl acrylate-diacetone acrylamide-styrene-methacrylic acid, copolymer of butyl acrylate-diacetone acrylamide-styrenemethacrylic acid-2-sulphoethylmethacrylatedivinyl benzene or a 99:1 copolymer of ethyl acrylate-methacrylic acid containing 1.5 parts by weight 2-sulphoethylmethacrylate. The matrix layer may be such that, in the absence of the dispersed dye image forming material, it would be impermeable to the processing composition during processing, and the dispensed dye image forming material occupies 30-40% of the volume of the layer. The particles of dispersed dye image forming material may be 0.3-1.6 microns in diameter. The matrix layer may be 1.5-5.0 microns thick. The element may also comprise an image receiving element and processing composition e.g. in a rupturable container. Interlayers are not required between silver halide and associated dye image forming material layer pairs.

Title: Printing telegraph system
IPC: H04L21/00
Filed: 1954-05-03
Abstract: 752,391. Printing-telegraph systems. SWEET, C. M. May 3, 1954 [May 7, 1953], No. 12729/54. Class 40 (3). In a printing-telegraph system using a photo-electric transmitter, the characters are formed with linear vertical and horizontal elements which are scanned simultaneously to produce corresponding pulses for simultaneous transmission over a number of channels appropriate to the horizontal and vertical elements. At the receiving station, the pulses operate separate recording members producing the appropriate horizontal and vertical elements of the character. Each channel allocated to the vertical elements is provided with a pulse relay device which lengthens the impulse derived from the scanning of the vertical elements, and at the receiving end the received pulse is shortened by differentiation to produce a suitable pulse to operate the associated vertical recording member. The horizontal elements 1, 2, 3 of the characters formed on the moving tape 8 are reflectively scanned by photocells PC1, PC2, PC3 and the vertical elements 4, 5 by PC4 and PC5, the pulses from each channel being keyed as at K1 and amplified at AMP1 to operate pens P1, P2, P3 reproducing the horizontal elements and printing hammers H4, H5 for the vertical elements. As shown in Fig. 3, the vertical pulses are differentiated by the circuit R2, C2 to trigger a valve V1 which conducts and effects the discharge of the capacitor C1 through the coil of relay 14 which operates the armature 12 and hammer 15 to print a vertical element on the tap 9 moved over a bed plate 19. In an alternative receiving arrangement (not shown), the characters may be reproduced by photographing the display on the screen of a cathode-ray tube, the horizontal pulses producing corresponding lines on the screen and the vertical elements being produced by circuits triggered by the corresponding pulse to trace lines of predetermined height on the screen. The characters as received are suitable for retransmission by the photo-electric transmitter of the system described.

Title: Lamp Failure Device
IPC: B60Q11/00
Filed: 1978-09-25
Abstract: Reed relays are used to monitor the correct functioning of bulbs by detecting the current supplying the bulbs. In the event of bulb failure, the release of the relay may cause a lamp or L.E.D. indicating correct operation to be extinguished; by drawing power from the circuit under test to feed the lamp or L.E.D. indicating correct operation, circuit power may be monitored as well. With bulbs which are operated a large number of times, a differential circuit may be used to minimise the risk of feed failure. <IMAGE>
