Abstract: High performance radiographic films exhibit visually adaptive
contrast when imaged in radiographic imaging assemblies comprising an
intensifying screen on both sides. These films have at least two silver halide
emulsions (preferably tabular grains) on each side of a film support, and the
emulsion closest to the film support on each side includes chemistry to control
crossover. In addition, the films can be rapidly processed to provide the desired
image whereby the upper scale contrast is at least 1.2 times the lower scale
contrast. Thus, dense objects can be better seen at the higher densities of the
radiographic image without any adverse sensitometric changes in the lower scale
densities. These films have greater dynamic range that allows them to be scanned
and digitized to correct for under- or over-exposure.

Abstract: Apparatus and a method for providing roaming service to a
telecom-munications station which can act as a cellular station
or if plugged into a jack connected to a land-line switch, can
act like a land-line telephone. When such a Universal Main
Station (UMS) is plugged into a jack connected to a land-line
switch, the station calls a server system which obtains the
directory number corresponding to the jack into which the UMS
was plugged. The server notifies a home switch of said UMS to
forward calls to that directory number. When the UMS
subsequently unplugs from the jack, the UMS registers as a
mobile station and the home switch is notified to forward calls
to the UMS, acting as a mobile station and identified by a
secret directory number, identified in the course of the
registration. Advantageously, this arrangement allows a mobile
station equipped with an arrangement for detecting the presence
of land-line power and arranged to substitute signals received
from a jack for radio signals to roam widely, and to receive a
choice of cellular service or land-line service wherever the
station roams.

Abstract: A continuous process for making a thermoplastic article comprises extruding
a sheet of thermoplastic and contacting the sheet with a mold surface while the
sheet is in a substantially non-oriented state. The mold surface is selectively
heated and/or cooled during thermoforming to maintain the sheet in a molten or
thermoformable state. A stripper plate adjacent to the mold surface is maintained
at different temperature for inducing a predetermined degree of crystallinity to the
sheet, for increasing web stiffness and improving web alignment, and optionally
for assisting in the separation of the articles from the mold. A continuous
apparatus for making thermoformed articles has co-extruders for extruding at least
two distinct layers, which can have dissimilar properties ( e.g. , polar and non-polar),
and a temperature controlled molding surface. Preferred thermoplastic
compositions of the present invention have improved toughness and retained
intrinsic viscosity.

Abstract: The object is to more effectively and more reliably prevent
a seat belt from being biased when the seat belt is rapidly
drawn and is rapidly wound in case of an emergency such as a
vehicle collision. Multiple ribs (5) are formed in an
inclined manner in a sliding portion (4b) for a seat belt
(3). The inclination angle  1  of the ribs (5) is set to be
larger than the inclination angle  b  of the traveling
direction of the seat belt (3) through a guide hole (4a).
Therefore, when the seat belt (3) is rapidly wound by the
actuation of a pretensioner in case of an emergency such as
a vehicle collision, it is inhibited from moving toward a
vehicle-front side end of the guide hole (4a), by a reactive
force produced by the friction at vehicle-rear side ends
(5a) of the ribs (5). This makes it possible to more
effectively and more reliably prevent the seat belt (3) from
being biased to the vehicle front side when being rapidly
wound by the actuation of the pretensioner.
