  • Publication number: 20040034949
    Abstract: A process for producing a colouring agent (masterbatch) for colouring a polymer is provided, comprising the step of mixing a plastics material, carbon black and waste print powder. The maximum proportion of waste print powder is preferably 50%. The process enables waste print powder to be recycled in a useful manner, thereby addressing the environmental problem of waste print powder pollution.

  • Patent number: 3989363
    Abstract: An apparatus for moving film through a projection or camera system utilizing continuous, uninterrupted motion of the film. Conventional sprocketed film is moved from reel to reel at a constant velocity. The image of the film frame passing over the film projection gate is projected upon an oscillating mirror mechanism which is driven synchronously with the motive force for the film strip. The oscillating mirror pivots at an angular velocity which stabilizes the image of the film frame, the mirror returning to its initial position during a small interval of the total time the film frame passes over the projection gate. A shutter periodically interrupts the light passing through the film frame to allow the mirror to return to its initial position where it becomes synchronized with the succeeding frame image.
