  • Processor for imaging media
    Patent number: 8203584
    Abstract: A thermal processor including an oven and a cooling section. The oven is configured to heat an imaging media to a development temperature. The cooling section is configured to cool the imaging media from the development temperature to a desired exit temperature as imaging media moves along a transport path from an entrance to an exit. The cooling section provides a varying rate of heat transfer from the imaging media along the transport path so as to create a varying cooling temperature gradient in the imaging media substantially equal to and not exceeding a varying maximum cooling temperature gradient of imaging media.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 23, 2011
    Date of Patent: June 19, 2012
    Assignee: Carestream Health, Inc.
    Inventors: Kent R. Struble, David J. McDaniel, Duane A. Preszler, Paul Stelzig
