Abstract: The present invention provides a metal/polymer composite comprising a polymeric substrate and a sintered mat of randomly-oriented metal fibers embedded therein, the fibers having a substantially circular cross-section and a diameter of about 10 to 200 .mu.m. The polymeric substrate is typically a thin, flexible sheet-like material having a pair of planar surfaces. The polymeric substrate is preferably thermoformable. If thermoformability is desired the metal will have a melting point of less than the thermoforming temperature of the polymeric substrate. The thermoformable metal/polymer composite of the present invention may be stretched to at least 20%, and often can be stretched at least 200% of its original dimensions, at least in certain regions, without loss of electrical continuity or EMI shielding properties. The present invention also provides a method of making a metal/polymer composite and a sintered mat of randomly-oriented metal fibers.

Abstract: A positive-working photoresist composition is described comprising a solution of polyvinyl alcohol, an inorganic ferric salt, ammonium trioxalatoferrate and a diol such as 1,4-butanediol. There is also described the addition of a finely divided black pigment to such a composition and the use of such a black pigmented composition for the formation of a light-absorbing matrix in a color CRT screen structure.

Abstract: Electronic imaging apparatus of the kind having light valve arrays operable to selectively pass light to an imaging zone in response to electrical activation according to an image signal features a light valve array having a plurality of pixel exposing regions that are each larger in area than the pixels to be imaged thereby at the imaging zone and means for directing light from respective pixel exposing regions to respective reduced-size pixels of the imaging zone.

Abstract: Volatile, hydrolyzable silyl-substituted dyestuffs are used in transfer sheets which, by heating, transfer an image to a substrate. The image has high optical density and resistance to diffusion in high temperature environments. The dyestuffs are of the formula ##STR1## wherein A is a dyestuff nucleus selected from anthraquinone, naphthoquinone, phenylazophenyl or styryl, which nucleus is substituted by R and may be substituted by auxochromic or bathochromic groups, R is H, alkyl of 1 to 6 carbon atoms, phenyl or Q, and at least one R is Q, Q is --R.sup.1 --W--Si(R.sup.2).sub.3, R.sup.1 is a divalent aliphatic group of 2 to 10 carbon atoms, W is 0, S or NR.sup.3, R.sup.3 is H, alkyl of 1 to 6 carbon atoms or phenyl and each R.sup.2 is individually the same or different selected from hydrogen, hydrocarbyl, hydrocarbyloxy, chlorohydrocarbyl or bromohydrocarbyl in which the sum of carbons is not greater than 12.

Abstract: An apparatus and method are disclosed by which a processed photosensitive material can be provided with a lenticular surface with each lenticule having a predetermined profile. The lenticules are arranged relative to one another with such a degree of accuracy that any speckle and scintillation that might be produced when the processed material is utilized as an element of a transmission or reflection type screen is reduced to a minimum, if not completely eliminated. Once the exposure factors for the emulsion have been established, the exposure profile can be determined for a particular lenticule profile to be imaged onto the photographic material or emulsion. The exposure profile can be utilized to provide a transparency master target pattern which can be of a relatively large size.

Abstract: Lenticules of predetermined optical power and size are formed photographically in the emulsion of a photographic film. An emulsion is exposed to a target having a profile mathematically related to the cross sections desired in the lenticules to be formed. Exposure can be to a cyclically uniform target through a cylindrical lens, by scanning the cyclical target across the emulsion, or by scanning a single profile across the film emulsion in a raster pattern. Upon processing the emulsion in a prescribed manner, a phase image comprising contiguous cylindrical lenticules having cross sections which are predetermined in accordance with the target profile is formed in the emulsion. In a second embodiment, lenticules in an array or matrix having predetermined profiles are produced by exposing two emulsions to a target as above described and processing both emulsions to density images. The density image carrying processed emulsions are then superimposed, the density images formed thereon being orthogonally oriented.
