Abstract: A process is disclosed of accelerating the preparation of a photographic emulsion containing tabular silver halide grains exhibiting a reduced degree of total grain dispersity. A dispersing medium is provided containing bromide ions, and a population of silver halide grain nuclei containing parallel twin planes is formed in the dispersing medium. A portion of the grain nuclei are ripened out, and then the silver halide grain nuclei containing parallel twin planes remaining are grown to form tabular silver halide grains. A polyalkylene oxide containing both hydrophilic and lipophilic block units is selected from among those known to be capable of reducing total grain dispersity when present during nucleation. However, in this process precipitation is accelerated while maintaining low dispersity of the total grain population by forming twin planes in the grain nuclei within the pAg and temperature boundaries of Curve A in FIG.

Abstract: A multicolor photographic element capable of forming a viewable reversal dye image is disclosed comprising a support and, coated on the support, a blue recording yellow dye image forming layer unit, a green recording magenta dye image forming layer unit, and a red recording cyan dye image forming layer unit, each of the dye image forming layer units containing at least one silver halide emulsion layer comprised of a vehicle and silver halide grains having (1) a halide content of from 0 to 5 mole percent chloride, from 0.1 to 20 mole percent iodide, and from 80 to 99.9 mole percent bromide, based on total silver. At least one of the silver halide emulsion layers in one of the layer units positioned to receive exposing radiation prior to at least one of the green or red recording layer units is a tabular grain emulsion layer in which a polyalkylene oxide block copolymer is present selected to allow the preparation of tabular grains having a mean thickness of less than 0.3 .mu.

Abstract: A method for forming a photographic element includes steps of heating an emulsion containing grains of a radiation sensitive silver haloiodide to form a first melt, heating an emulsion containing grains of a silver salt effective to enhance the photographic properties of the silver haloiodide emulsion to form a second melt, and coating the first and second melts onto a photographic support to form an image recording layer. The silver salt grains are substantially insensitive to radiation at wavelengths at which said silver haloiodide grains are sensitive. The coating step is preferably carried out by blending the first and second melts together, then immediately coating the silver haloiodide emulsion onto the support. In a preferred embodiment, the silver salt is essentially silver chloride in the form of relatively fine cubic grains, and the silver haloiodide is in the form of tabular grains larger than the cubic grains.

Abstract: A superconducting energy stabilizer having multiple load connections employs DC-DC conversion. A discharging DC-DC converter removes stored energy from a superconducting inductive energy storage device or superconducting magnet and delivers the energy to an energy storage cell for use by a load or a utility or industrial electrical distribution system. Regenerated energy can also be retrieved from regenerative type devices and stored in the superconducting magnet for later use. A charging DC-DC converter provides this function. The charging DC-DC converter and the discharging DC-DC converter as well as an off-the-line power supply which provides energy for storage in the superconducting magnet can operate simultaneously under the control of a control system.

Abstract: A vacuum advance regulator designed to control the suction force of the vacuum that is applied to the vacuum advancer. The suction, in turn, controls the spark timing and allows combustion to occur when the crank position is at 12 degrees at the ATDC, thus, producing maximum engine power efficiency. The regulator consists of a body (1) containing in part, a vacuum chamber (2) that is connected to the outside of the body by a pair of nipples (3) that are inserted through a first bore (4) and a second bore (4'). The other side of the nipples are connected to a vacuum hose (11). One side of this hose is connected to the vacuum advancer while the other side is connected to the carburetor. The vacuum advance regulator also includes a pair of parallel adjustable throttles (5) and (5') that are in-line with the vacuum chamber (2). The two adjustable throttles provide the adjustment means that allows the vacuum force to set the spark timing.

Abstract: Novel elements for the analysis of liquids which contain interferents for an analyte assay are described.
