  • Patent number: 4484233
    Abstract: A high speed, high resolution programmable multiformatting hardcopy video printer is devised by using a fiber optic face plate on a cathode ray tube wherein a fiber optic face plate has an electrophoretically deposited phosphor which is activated by the cathode ray tube elements. Photosensitive paper is positioned by a motorized printer in front of the face plate and exposed to the full frame video image found on the face plate by contact printing. A multiple number of full frame images may then be imprinted into the photosensitive layer of the paper across the horizontal axis according program control. The paper is then moved vertically in front of the face plate, again according to program control to allow one or more additional horizontal rows of full frame images to be imprinted in the photosensitive paper. The paper is then fixed and developed so that the latently imprinted images are rendered visible.

  • Patent number: 4343543
    Abstract: A multiple image camera sequentially exposes upon a section of a roll film a number of images of an oscilloscope that displays images of a patient subjected to a scanning device. The oscilloscope, together with a folded optical system, is mounted to move bidirectionally transversely of the film which itself is transported bidirectionally so as to enable multiple exposures of the oscilloscope in different arrays on the film. After exposure of a selected number of images, the exposed film section is cut and a previously disengaged transport mechanism drives the cut film section into a detachable cassette.

  • Patent number: 4285587
    Abstract: A multi-image camera sequentially exposes upon a film sheet a number of images of an oscilloscope that displays images of a patient subjected to a scanning device. Camera optics and motion of parts are arranged to provide a lightweight and compact package. Fixed to the elongated oscilloscope body is an optical system having a folded optical path that provides an output leg parallel to and above and to the rear of the oscilloscope screen. A sheet film slide carrier is mounted for slidable motion backward and forward relative to and just above the oscilloscope body. The oscilloscope, together with the folded path optical system, is mounted for motion from side to side.
