Abstract: A method for monitoring the amount of unexposed photographic film remaining in a motion camera film magazine that includes the steps of: providing an unexposed motion picture film containing a support having at least one light sensitive image recording layer and a transparent magnetic recording layer; recording film length data on the transparent magnetic recording layer of the unexposed motion picture film; loading the unexposed motion picture film in a motion picture film magazine; and reading the film length data from the transparent magnetic recording layer as it is removed from the film supply magazine to provide an indication of the amount of unexposed film remaining in the motion picture film magazine. The amount of unexposed film remaining may be displayed in a read-out device associated with the film magazine or camera.

Abstract: A process for viewing a motion picture film scene image with concurrently displayed subtitle text comprising: providing a motion picture print film comprising a support bearing at least one light sensitive image recording layer and a transparent magnetic recording layer; printing a negative film scene image onto the motion picture print film to form a positive scene image; recording subtitle information in the magnetic recording layer in synchronization with the scene image; projecting the print film scene image for viewing while simultaneously reading the subtitle information recorded in the magnetic recording layer; and converting the subtitle information to text comprising alphanumeric characters and displaying the subtitle text in conjunction with the projected screen image. One or more language subtitles may be recorded onto and read from a transparent magnetic recording layer on a motion picture film in synchronization with the film image.

Abstract: A process for viewing a positive motion picture film scene image with an accompanying original audio soundtrack comprising: providing a motion picture origination negative film comprising a support bearing at least one light sensitive image recording layer and a transparent magnetic recording layer; optically recording a motion picture scene in the motion picture negative film by exposing the film in a motion picture camera, and simultaneously recording contemporaneous original audio information in the magnetic recording layer on a frame-by-frame basis in synchronization with the scene image; providing a motion picture print film comprising a support bearing at least one light sensitive image recording layer and a transparent magnetic recording layer; printing the negative film scene image onto the motion picture print film to form a positive scene image, and transferring the original audio information from the magnetic recording layer of the negative film to the magnetic recording layer of the print film in

Abstract: Bubble-to-bubble interaction in a magnetic bubble domain memory is reduced by a notch provided in the outer edge of the replicator of the bubble memory device. The notch serves to slow down the movement of the bubble around the replicator or U-turn element so that it does not elongate under a critical phase of the in-plane field.
