Abstract: Small amounts of specific organic halogen compounds added to medical X-ray emulsions (ex. 2-chloro-4-nitrobenzyl chloride, 2,2,2-trichloroethanol and m-nitrobenzyl chloride) give significantly reduced fog levels accompanied by little or no speed loss.
Abstract: A spin tuned magnetron has a spinner the axially facing end of which lies in an inclined plane and an anode vane ring having an annular flange the end face of which lies in an inclined plane so that the amount of overlap of the flange and spinner varies as the spinner rotates. (In the FIG. 4A the spinner and the ring are shown spaced far apart; in practice they are spaced so that the planes coincide when parallel).
Abstract: A lithographic printing process wherein an illuminated image on a document is scanned in a series of parallel sweeps with a photocell, applying an electric wave signal to a magnetic recording head with the amplitude of said signal determined by the output of the photocell and a function of the optical density of the image being scanned. The magnetic head has a width of from about 0.5 mils to about 5 mils and traverses a magnetic recording medium in a series of aligned parallel paths analogous to those scanned by the photocell to form a latent magnetic image in the magnetic recording medium, which image is a replica of the image being scanned. The horizontal spatial frequency is from about 200 to 1000 cycles/inch. The thus formed latent magnetic image is decorated with an oleophilic magnetic toner. The oleophilic magnetic image is transferred under pressure to a smooth heated lithographic substrate. If necessary, the toner is further heated to effect complete coalescence thereof.

Abstract: Optical apparatus for biocular viewing which is small and of light weight comprises a solid optical element having a face which internally reflects light from an image surface to internally concave reflecting areas which reflect the light back to the face to emerge as two beams travelling towards respective eye positions via a corrector lens. The apparatus can be used in night vision goggles having a single image intensifier tube providing the image surface.
Abstract: Compounds having the formula ##STR1## wherein R.sub.3 and R.sub.5 each is independently hydrogen or alkyl are useful intermediates for the preparation of mercaptoacylamino acids having hypotensive activity.
Abstract: An improved locking mechanism is provided with a fixed outer cylinder and at least two side-by-side rows of resiliently urged pins disposed in a staggered relation therein. A face plate contains a nonrotatable key slot in angular disorientation to the pins and a key is provided with a plurality of biased grooves forming inclined planes to depress the pins as the key, imposed in an inner cylinder, are rotated together through the plane of the pins. The inner cylinder is connected to a bolt actuating linkage in a conventional manner. A pin bar having a plurality of reversely biased grooves forming inclined planes in the same profile as the key is disposed in a longitudinally extending channel in the inner cylinder. The face plate is formed of an anti-drill metal secured to an intermediate housing by crimping in a peripheral area which is inaccessible between the intermediate and an outer housing.

Abstract: The invention provides an NMR machine capable of a volume scan. Initial data is provided for a plurality of planes in the body, instead of a plurality of lines as previously, and this is repeated at different positions rotated about an axis parallel to the plane. Convolution processing thus yields data for a matrix of lines parallel to that axis. Further rotation about the z-axis and repetition of the previous analysis at each stage yields data for such matrices of lines at different angles to the z-axis and further convolution processing provides data for a three-dimensional matrix of elements in the body. The last mentioned processing may be done in individual ones of parallel planes.

Esterification of these acid intermediates produces resolved d or l esters which are useful to make optically active 8-azaprostanoids having biological activity.
Abstract: Process for modifying a tacky surface of a multilayer negative-working surprint proof having a photosensitive tacky layer as the outer layer which comprises exposing the tacky layer through a screen tint, e.g., having a tint value of 25 to 75 percent, and applying an admixture of particulate material and carrier particles and removing excess particulate material and the carrier particles from the tacky surface. The ratio of average particle diameter of the carrier particles to average particle diameter of the particulate material is greater than 2 and the weight ratio of particulate material to carrier particles is less than 1. A durable matte finish is obtained that is nonblocking, is capable of being written on, and is noncracking over extended storage periods.
