Abstract: A vapor permeable retroreflective material for use on protective garments. The material may be formed in a non-continuous pattern that provides a high-level of retroreflective brightness, yet also provides adequate permeability to prevent exposure to trapped thermal energy and heated moisture. The non-continuous retroreflective pattern may include retroreflective regions and non-retroreflective regions arranged such that thermal decay through the protective garment is not substantially decreased in the regions corresponding to the retroreflective material. Rather, vapor permeation and thermal decay through the garment may be substantially the same as if the retroreflective material was not present.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for improving the ageing properties of a silver halide photographic element, free of photolytically generated latent images, comprising a support bearing at least one light-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer and at least one light-insensitive layer, the silver halide light-sensitive emulsion layer including negative acting surface latent image-type silver halide grain in association with a contrast promoting agent and a hydrazine compound, by adding a total amount of at least 0.40 grams per square meter of dextran to at least said light-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer and/or to at least said light-insensitive layer.
