  • Publication number: 20210221116
    Abstract: Lithographic printing plates are provided by imagewise exposing negative-working lithographic printing plate precursors having one or more radiation-sensitive imageable layers, followed by contacting with a processing solution that contains up to 10 weight % of one or more compounds represented by Structure (I) shown as follows: R1—C(?O)—N(R2)—R3 ??(I) wherein R1, R2, and R3 independently represent hydrogen or a substituted or unsubstituted hydrocarbon group, or two or three of R1, R2, and R3 are combined to form one or more cyclic rings, and the total number of carbon atoms in the Structure (I) molecule is at least 7 and up to and including 33. Both negative-working and positive-working lithographic precursors can be imaged and processed using this processing solution using one or more successive applications of the same or different processing solution. The processing solution can be derived from a corresponding processing solution concentrate that can also be used for replenishment.

  • Patent number: 10975770
    Abstract: A heat exchanging arrangement is integrated within a gas turbine engine case that at least partially encloses a gas turbine engine. The gas turbine engine has an upstream end and a downstream end which are defined by a core fluid flow through the gas turbine engine. The heat exchanging arrangement includes at least one flow passage defined within the gas turbine engine case having an inlet port and an outlet port. The at least one flow passage is configured to direct at least a portion of a fluid flowing through the gas turbine engine from between a downstream position and an upstream position while traveling between the inlet port and the outlet port.

  • Patent number: 6159101
    Abstract: An interactive toy product including a controller and a casing in the form of a figure having one or more articulated limbs and wherein one or more sensors are provided arranged to detect movement of the one or more limbs and to use such detection as an input to the controller whereby to control at least partially the game playing activity. Preferably, the figure is human or at least anthropoid, and the game program includes means for generating on the screen a display representative of the figure, the program being arranged such that movement of the one or more articulated limbs of the figure generates a corresponding movement of the displayed figure. In another embodiment the interactive toy product is configured as a vehicle having sensors provided to detect movement of one or more elements of the vehicle.
