  • Patent number: 6902076
    Abstract: A bottle and bottle closure assembly for draining a solution contained within a bottle, the bottle closure assembly. The bottle has a base section, a body portion extending from the base and terminating into a neck portion having an outlet through which the solution may pass. A seal is secured to the neck portion so as to cover the opening such that the seal will retain solution within the bottle. A cap member has rupture members designed to assist in the rupture of the seal.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 21, 2002
    Date of Patent: June 7, 2005
    Assignee: Eastman Kodak Company
    Inventors: Richard W. Bauer, Van W. Huston, Theodore K. Ricks, Thomas D. Jensen, John W. King, Malinda L. McFeaters

  • Patent number: 5743609
    Abstract: Method and apparatus for preparing photographic film units having image frame associated encoded data. The method has the steps of: providing a filmstrip having a plurality of image frames and encoded data relating to individual image frames; reading the encoded data; locating the image frames; identifying data units; correlating individual data units and individual image frames; and rerecording data units on the filmstrip in physical association with respective image frames.

  • Patent number: 5212098
    Abstract: Bromide ion content in a photographic developer is an important variable to be controlled by photoprocessors who process color reversal material or color negative film. The bromide content of such developers can be determined by titration with silver ion, using tetraiodophenolsulfonephthalein (TIPS) or other suitable adsorption indicator, after the developer has been acidified with an organic acid such as citric acid. This titrimetric method can be adapted for use in a test kit which is designed for use by photoprocessors who otherwise lack the chemical sophistication to readily conduct analysis by titration, or who have the necessary sophistication, but wish to gain the benefits and convenience available from use of a test kit specifically designed for conducting the analytical method.
