Patent number: 7408633Abstract: There is disclosed a defect inspection apparatus, wherein a light source projects a linear light onto a transparent film to inspect, so that a light receiver receives light beams transmitted through the film. The light receiver is placed to look down the film, with its optical axis inclined by a cross angle ?1 to a normal line that is perpendicular to the film surface, and the cross angle ?1 is set in a range from 30° to 50°. The optical axis of the light receiver is also turned about the normal line by a rotational angle ?2 to a transport direction (S) of the film. The rotational angle ?2 is set in a range from minus 60° to plus 60°, on the assumption that the transport direction is zero degree.Type: GrantFiled: February 23, 2006Date of Patent: August 5, 2008Assignee: FUJIFILM CorporationInventors: Takeshi Nakajima, Manabu Higuchi, Takeshi Wakita

Patent number: 5246811Abstract: An image forming method uses a light-sensitive material and an image receiving material. The light-sensitive material comprises a support and a light-sensitive layer provided thereon. The light-sensitive layer contains silver halide, a reducing agent, pigment particles, an ethylenically unsaturated polymerizable compound and a base precursor. The silver halide, the reducing agent, the pigment particles, the polymerizable compound and the base precursor are contained in microcapsules dispersed in the light-sensitive layer. The image forming method comprises imagewise exposing the light-sensitive material, developing the light-sensitive material to polymerize the polymerizable compound, and pressing the light-sensitive material on the image receiving material to transfer the pigment particles to the image receiving material. In the present invention, the light-sensitive material is pressed at a pressure in the range of 20 kg/cm.sup.2 to 500 kg/cm.sup.2 while heating the light-sensitive material at 30.degree.
