  • Publication number: 20050244760
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method of forming a positive image in a photothermographic assembly comprising a photothermographic material and an intensifying means for converting ionizing radiation, wherein the assembly has been imagewise exposed to ionizing radiation to form a latent image in the photothermographic material. The photothermographic material has at least one imaging layer comprising a potentially negative-working emulsion, wherein thermal development of unexposed silver salts in exposed areas relative to unexposed areas is inhibiting when thermally developing the imagewise exposed assembly, thereby producing a positive image. The present invention is also directed to a photothermographic assembly that can be used in the present process in which a positive image characterized by high speed and discrimination is formed when exposed and thermally heated above 150° C.

  • Publication number: 20050176230
    Abstract: A method of making an electronic device in which a conductive electrode has been formed over a substrate including using a liquid to clean the conductive electrode, heating in a processing station the conductive electrode to a temperature which dries the conductive electrode and thereby removes residual cleaning liquid applied during the cleaning step, and providing an oxidizing plasma in the processing station to modify the properties of the conductive electrode. The method also includes producing a fluorocarbon plasma in the processing station to form a fluorocarbon layer over the modified conductive electrode, and further processing the structure to produce the electronic device.

  • Patent number: 4508551
    Abstract: Located at the bottom edge of the outflow orifice (6) of a steam distributor is a nozzle (10) which extends in the manner of a slit over practically the entire length of the outflow orifice (6). The edges (14, 15) limiting the nozzle orifice (13) laterally are acute-angled and sharp; the inner walls (18, 19) adjoining these edges are designed so that water droplets which possibly form are conveyed away downwards.Because of the sharp edge design, water droplets cannot form in the outflow region (13) of the nozzle. The outflowing steam which subsequently mixes with an air stream (5) is therefore free of water drops. The formation of water droplets on the inner walls (18, 19) adjoining the said edges is harmless, since these droplets are conveyed away downwards as a result of the inclination of the said walls.
