  • Organic silver salt composition and manufacturing method thereof and photothermographic material
    Patent number: 7384597
    Abstract: An organic silver salt composition used for thermally developable photothermographic material is disclosed, comprising at least two organic acids differing in melting point and their silver salts, wherein a silver salt of a lower-melting organic acid account for 10 to 80 mol % of the silver salts and the lower melting organic acid accounting for 0 to 30 mol % of the acids. A method of manufacturing an organic silver salt compositions also disclosed.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 7, 2005
    Date of Patent: June 10, 2008
    Assignee: Konica Minolta Medical & Graphic, Inc.
    Inventors: Satoshi Ito, Kazuhiko Fujikura
  • Silver salt photothermographic dry imaging material
    Patent number: 7364841
    Abstract: A silver salt photothermographic dry imaging material wherein said material has photographic speeds (1) and (2) determined based on the predetermined conditions and the photographic speed (2) is not more than 1/10 of the photographic speed (1), and the coefficient of determination value R2 of the linear regression line is 0.998-1.000, which is obtained from the predetermined density points having a* and b* arranged in two-dimensional coordinates in which a* is used as the abscicca and b* is used as the coordinate of the CIE 1976 (L*a*b*) color space, b* of the intersection point of the linear regression line with the ordinate is ?5-5, and gradient (a*/b*) is 0.7-2.5.
