  • Patent number: 5664235
    Abstract: A portrait photograph camera incorporates a taking lens assembly having a predetermined focal length, and photographs a human head on instant film. A pair of indicia are displayed within a field frame of a viewfinder. According to the indicia, the human head is framed or targeted. The framed human head is photographed, so as to create an image having a predetermined size range on the film. In a preferred embodiment, a telephoto converter lens is selectively mountable on the taking lens. Combined with the telephoto converter, the taking lens has a longer focal length. A second pair of indicia are displayed within the finder field frame. The human head as framed by the second indicia is photographed at the longer focal length so as to create on the film an image in the former predetermined size range. A rangefinding device measures the subject distance.

  • Patent number: 4179387
    Abstract: A magnetic Fe oxide containing Co, and optionally, a divalent metal, in which the oxidation degree indicated by the following formula ranges from about 30% to 80%; ##EQU1## wherein y is the amount of the Co, plus the divalent metal if present, in atomic % contained in the magnetic Fe oxide, and R is the ratio of the divalent Fe ion to the total Fe ions;and a process for producing a magnetic Fe oxide containing Co, and optionally, a divalent metal, and having an oxidizing degree of about 30 to 80%, which comprises dehydrating and reducing goethite containing Co, and optionally, the divalent metal, to obtain magnetic containing Co, and optionally, a divalent metal, and oxidizing gradually the magnetite at a relatively low temperature of lower than about 100.degree. C.
