  • Publication number: 20130089713
    Abstract: A printed article is disclosed including a substrate and printed data that is not visible to the unaided eye. The printed data includes a dye that fluoresces in the infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum and a polyvinyl acetal binder. The weight ratio of the dye relative to the combined weight of the dye and binder is in a range of 0.001 to 0.025.

  • Patent number: 5728517
    Abstract: Tabular grain emulsions of enhanced photographic sensitivity are disclosed in which the tabular grains contain a maximum surface iodide concentration along their edges and a lower surface iodide concentration within their corners than elsewhere along their edges. The grains contain a dopant capable of providing shallow electron trapping sites.
    Type: Grant

    Assignee: Eastman Kodak Company
    Inventors: Roger Anthony Bryant, Myra Toffolon Olm, David Earl Fenton
  • Patent number: 5691127
    Abstract: The invention relates to an emulsion comprising silver halide grains, said grains being tabular and comprising sensitizing dye(s) and silver salt epitaxial deposits, and addenda that include a mercaptotetrazole and a tetraazaindene.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 2, 1996
    Date of Patent: November 25, 1997

  • Patent number: 5641618
    Abstract: An improved spectrally sensitized ultrathin tabular grain emulsion is disclosed in which tabular grains (a) having {111} major faces, (b) containing greater than 70 mole percent bromide, based on silver, (c) accounting for greater than 90 percent of total grain projected area, (d) exhibiting an average equivalent circular diameter of at least 0.7 .mu.m, (e) exhibiting an average thickness of less than 0.07 .mu.m, and (f) having latent image forming chemical sensitization sites on the surfaces of the tabular grains, are spectrally sensitized and improved by employing dump iodide host tabular grains and, in forming the surface chemical sensitization sites, at least one silver salt epitaxially located on the tabular grains.
