Title: Improvements in methods of producing coloured cinematograph picture and sound film

Filed: 1940-02-05
Abstract: 540,968. Kinematograph colour films bearing sound records. KODAK, Ltd. (Eastman Kodak Co.). Feb. 5, 1940, No. 2202. [Class 98 (ii)] A process for producing colour films bearing sound records comprises exposing a film carrying several silver halide emulsions for the component colour picture records to produce therein latent picture and sound record images, processing all the emulsions in both picture and sound areas by colour development to convert the latent images into silver plus dye images, fixing, bleaching all the silver to ferrocyanide, converting the ferrocyanide in the sound track only into silver or an opaque silver compound such as silver sulphide or silver iodide which is relatively insoluble in hypo, and fixing out the ferrocyanide from the picture 'area so as to leave therein a multicolour picture in dye only. The film may be of the multilayer or mixed grain type, and the emulsions may contain dye-forming substances such as colour couplers. In an example, after bleaching the silver images to ferrocyanide, the sound image is reduced to silver without exposure to light by applying e.g. metal-hydroquinone developer to the sound area only.

Filed: 1975-01-22
Abstract: 1503171 Transistor current sources; AM-FM receivers; AGC and AFC circuits GENERAL ELECTRIC CO 22 Jan 1975 [22 Jan 1974] 2681/75 Headings H3T H3A and H3R  In a current source 29 and a load comprising transistor circuits 10-12 forming part of an AM-FM receiver, the load transistors are of opposite conductivity type to an output transistor Q27 of the current source which supplies the collector-emitter currents of the load transistors and the current source has an emitter resistor 57 connected to a power supply line B+, a semiconductor diode Q25 and a resistor 51 series connected between the base of the output transistor and the supply line and a direct current amplifier Q24-Q26 having two inputs controlling the static and dynamic output current of the output transistor. As shown the static D.C. level is determined by the input to Q26 from an AM-FM selector switch and the dynamic D.C. level is determined by the AM-FM detector 26 output. Switching switch 32 from AM to FM reception biases Q26 to conduct and steps the current in Q23 to a new level thereby raising the voltage on line 18 by 0À75 v. This switches the AGC voltage on line 18 from a low gain setting for AM to a high gain setting for FM. The FM voltage range setting produces a higher IF gain for the IF amplifier Q1-Q8. The bus 18 provides B + bias for the FM mixer Q 11 and local oscillator Q12, B+ biasing for the IF amplifier stages Q1-Q6, automatic frequency control (AFC) of the FM local oscillator, AGC of the IF stages Q1-Q6 and AGC of the AM section including a mixer Q13-Q19 and a local oscillator Q20-Q22. A diode D1 functions to provide delayed AGC to the AM mixer. The IF amplifier has D.C. feedback via a resistor 23 for reducing drift and providing a secondary AGC bus 19 for the AM section and a balancing bias to the differential stages of the IF amplifier. The IF amplifier, the AM-FM detector 26, the audio amplifier 27 and the adjustable current source 29 can be formed as an integrated circuit. The FM detector 26 can be as disclosed in Specification 1,338,201. Specifications 1,503,172 and 1,503,173 are referred to.

[Class 6 (i)] A device for distributing powdered and granular material comprises a wheeled vehicle having a perforated bottom which is opened and closed by the movement of the vehicle, means being provided for scattering the material over an area extending beyond the width of the vehicle. Fig. 1 shows the device in the form of a wheelbarrow 2 the bottom of which is provided with slots which are opened and closed by a grating connected by rods 16, 17 to a crank 18 on the wheel 5. The maximum opening of the slots is regulated by a second grating operated by a threaded rod 10 and handle 14. Beneath the vehicle is a disc 40 which is rotated by a cord 46 passing round a pulley 48. The disc may be ribbed and removable and when rotating scatters the material fed through the slots in the bottom of the barrow. The rod 17 may be uncoupled from the crank 18 and supported on rests on the side of the barrow when the device is not in use. Fig. 7 shows a modification in which apertures 7 in the bottom of the barrow are opened and closed by arms 30 which are given an oscillating motion about a pivot 29. In a further modification the oscillating member consists of a perforated disc. The throw of the oscillating member may be varied by providing the crank 18 with a series of holes in any one of which the rod 17 may be engaged. The oscillating member may be disposed below the perforated bottom of the barrow, and the perforated bottom, oscillating member, regulating grating and scattering disc may all be carried on a removable frame fixed to the barrow. In a further modification the scattering disc is replaced by sloping plates 51 as shown in Fig. 3.
