Title: Radiation-sensitive materials
Inventor: WADE JOHN ROBERT
IPC: G03F7/023
Filed: 1992-05-13
Abstract: A radiation sensitive material comprises particles including a water-insoluble heat-softenable core surrounded by a shell which is soluble or swellable in aqueous medium. The material also includes a radiation sensitive component which, on exposure to radiation, causes the solubility characteristics of the material to change. The material may be positive- or negative-working and may be coated onto a substrate from aqueous media to form a radiation sensitive plate which, after image-wise exposure, can be developed in aqueous media and then heated to cause the particles to coalesce and form a durable printing image.

Abstract: A method and system for automatic or semi-automatic defibrillation
using redundant processing is provided. In a preferred embodiment, two
microprocessors each separately analyze electrocardiogram signals from a patient in

Abstract: An anti-lock braking system includes a friction torque
gradient estimating unit for estimating, from a small number
of parameters, the gradient of friction torque with respect
to a slip speed, and controls a braking force acting on
wheels on the basis of the friction torque gradient estimated
by the friction torque gradient estimating unit. The
friction torque gradient estimating unit may employ several
types of estimating methods; e.g., a method of estimating the
gradient of friction torque from only time-series data
concerning a wheel speed; a method of estimating the friction
torque gradient from time-series data concerning wheel
deceleration as well as from braking torque or time-series
data concerning physical quantities associated with the
braking torque; or a method of estimating the friction torque
gradient from micro-gains which are obtained when brake
pressure is excited in a very small amount at the resonance
frequency of a vibration system comprising a vehicle, wheels,
and a road surface and which represent the characteristics of
the vibration system. Further, there is also disclosed a
method of determining, from the thus-estimated friction
torque gradient, the limit of the characteristics of friction
torque developed between the wheels and the road surface.
