  • Patent number: 5742854
    Abstract: A photographic camera successively exposes a photographic film in different frame sizes, so that the processed photographic film exposed with those different frame sizes can be automatically printed. The camera varies the length and width of an exposure opening in the camera body in the film-feed direction and film width direction. The photographic camera magnetically or optically records an exposure opening signal indicative of the size of the exposure opening on the photographic film.

  • Patent number: 5729777
    Abstract: A photographic camera system includes a photographic camera that can successively expose a photographic film in different frame sizes and an automatic printer for automatically printing the processed photographic film exposed with those different frame sizes. The camera varies the aspect of an exposure opening in the camera body and the film is fed for a length corresponding to the selected aspect by detecting a hole located in a marginal area of the film. The photographic camera magnetically or optically records at a location away from the hole an aspect information signal indicative of the selected aspect of the exposed frame on the photographic film, and the automatic printer automatically prints the photographic film using the magnetically or optically recorded aspect information signal detected from the photographic film.

  • Patent number: 5652643
    Abstract: A photographic and video image system for transforming an image on a frame of a photographic film includes a structure in the overall form of a photographic printer having an image transformation element that transforms an optical image from the film into a video signal, a frame position indicator, which can be a hole or an optical or magnetic signal, is recorded on the film along with aspect information relating to the size of the frame exposed on the film. The frame position indicator and aspect information are detected and used to control a film feeding operation and the optical image to video signal transformation operation. The user of the system can record order information on the film that is used to specify the aspect of the resultant photographic print, as well as the quantity of prints to be made. Such order information can be superimposed as a menu on a displayed video signal at the time the video signal is reviewed prior to producing a photographic print.

  • Patent number: 4916839
    Abstract: The uppermost page of an opened volume is rubbed toward the volume's spine to buckle the uppermost page and permit air to enter a space between the buckled page and the next page. The buckled page is then released to fall back toward its initial position and form an air layer between the uppermost page and the next page. The uppermost page is attracted upward by applying a suction force and a plate is moved along a path crossing the attracted uppermost page to turn it.

  • Patent number: 4798758
    Abstract: The invention relates to a foam glass having a foam layer and a crust layer which covers at least one major surface of the foam layer. The crust layer is formed so as to have a thickness of from 1.5 to 20 mm and an apparent specific gravity of from 0.8 to 1.7, whereas the foam layer has an apparent specific gravity of from 0.3 to 0.6. The powder materials of the foam layer and the crust layer are respectively granulated prior to firing operation. This foam glass has good impact resistance, flexural strength and machinability including cuttability. By dispersing 15-30 vol % of glass grains 0.5-5.2 mm in diameter in the crust layer the foam glass is improved in surface hardness and flaw resistance.
