  • Patent number: 5575242
    Abstract: There is described a system for controlling the movement of an animal relative to a controlled area delineated by a wire loop antenna. The controlled area may be inclusive or exclusionary. A frequency modulated signal is transmitted by the FM transmitter connected to the loop. An FM receiver attached to the animal detects the transmitted signal and provides an alarm signal to the animal. The loop antenna is untuned. Low radio frequencies are used and the carrier frequency deviation is large to reduce the systems susceptability to noise. The modulating frequency is limited, also to reduce susceptibility to noise. Integrated circuits are especially designed to permit operation with very low power.

  • Patent number: 5380642
    Abstract: A process for preparing a thin tabular grain silver halide emulsion comprised of silver halide grains which have a halide content of at least 50 mole percent bromide, wherein tabular grains of less than 0.15 micrometers in thickness and having an aspect ratio of greater than 8 account for greater than 50 percent of the total grain projected area, comprises the steps of nucleating the silver halide grains with a gelatino-peptizer or with the use of certain synthetic polymers that serve as effective nucleation peptizers and then growing the silver halide grains with the use of either a gelatino-peptizer or certain synthetic polymers that serve as effective growth peptizers.
