Abstract: The invention provides a tightly wrapped photographic element comprising a support bearing at least one photographic silver halide emulsion having associated therewith at least one high dye-yield coupler that releases a dye having an electrically neutral dye chromophore, said element having a radius of curvature of less than 6,000 micrometers. The tightly wrapped photographic element exhibits less pressure sensitivity than conventional elements while maintaining satisfactory photographic response.This is a Continuation of application Ser. No. 08/565,122, filed Nov. 30, 1995, now abandoned, which is a Continuation of application Ser. No. 08/250,199, file May 27, 1994, now abandoned.

Abstract: The invention relates to single use cameras. In particular it relates to a single use camera that incorporates a motion sensor. The motion sensor enables automatic activation of various camera features and utilities. These include the automatic activation of such normal camera actions as shutter release and the taking of a photograph, activation of a flash unit either to aid in the taking of a photograph or as a warning or signaling device and activation of an incorporated audible alarm.

Abstract: The invention relates to a single-use camera comprising a mechanism for repetitive flashing not connected to shutter operation.

Abstract: The invention relates to a single-use camera comprising an apparatus for reflecting light and/or a siren.

Abstract: The invention relates to a camera comprising means to emit a smile sound.

Abstract: Photographic elements having bromide or iodide ion stabilized high chloride {111} tabular grain emulsions are rapidly processed. The emulsion grains comprise a high chloride core with a surrounding band of higher bromide or iodide ion than that found in the core. The emulsion is precipitated in the presence of an organic grain growth modifier or surface stabilizer. Specific developing conditions of temperature, time, bromide ion concentration, color developing agent concentration and ratio of developing agent to bromide ion allow for the rapid processing of these elements.

Abstract: The invention relates to a light sensitive photographic element comprising a support, and chemically and spectrally sensitized emulsions (A) and (B), wherein:emulsion (A) comprises a tabular silver halide emulsion population comprised of at least 50 mole percent chloride, based on silver, wherein at least 50 percent of the grain population projected area is accounted for by tabular grains bounded by {111} major faces, each having an aspect ratio of at least 2 and each being comprised of a core and a surrounding band containing a higher level of bromide or iodide ion than is present in said core, said band containing up to about 30 percent of the silver in the tabular grain;wherein said emulsion (A) has been precipitated in the presence of an organic grain growth modifier or surface stabilizer and wherein said organic grain growth modifier or surface stabilizer has been substantially removed from said emulsion (A) after the formation of said band; andemulsion (B) comprises at least 50 mole percent chloride, ba

Abstract: A color recording photographic element is disclosed containing a support and, superimposed on the support, blue, green and red recording layer units. The layer unit nearest the support contains a high chloride tabular grain emulsion and an optionally esterified glycolic ether having a molecular weight of at least 300 and containing at least one thioether moiety. The layer unit farthest from the support is free of the optionally esterified glycol compound. The advantages realized are an increased imaging density range, increased sensitivity, and increased contrast.
