  • Patent number: 4755447
    Abstract: A wide-dynamic-range wide latitude silver halide film is used for X-ray intensifying screen exposure and subsequent computer enhancement of the images produced thereon. The enhanced image is equivalent to images produced by a host of individual films and screens.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 3, 1986
    Date of Patent: July 5, 1988
    Assignee: E. I. Du Pont de Nemours and Company
    Inventor: Earle L. Kitts, Jr.
  • Patent number: 4496652
    Abstract: Novel silver halide crystals useful for both negative and positive photographic elements are produced by balanced double jet precipitation. Using that process, silver halide adds preferentially to the (111) surfaces of tetradecahedral silver bromide or iodobromide crystals to form cubic crystals which have corners containing a different silver halide from that in the lateral surfaces. In a specific embodiment, a crystal has corners composed of silver bromochloride, while the crystal substrate consists of highly photosensitive silver iodobromide.

  • Patent number: 4263359
    Abstract: A charge receptor film element for charge transfer imaging comprising, in order,(a) support, e.g., transparent film,(b) conductive layer, e.g., metal, metal oxide, ammonium chloride salt,(c) thin dielectric layer bearing, e.g., transparent polyethylene terephthalate,(d) opaque dots, e.g., 3 to 50 micrometers in height, covering less than 10% of the total area of layer (c) which provide less than 0.05 background optical density. The element is useful for medical radiography, in eletrophotography, electrostatic printing, etc.
