  • Patent number: 5238790
    Abstract: A silver halide photographic light-sensitive material contains a dispersion in which at least one compound represented by formula (I) below and a photographic useful reagent, which is hard to solve in water, are dispersed together. (In formula (I), R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 independently represent amino having 0 to 32 carbon atoms, alkoxy having 1 to 32 carbon atoms, or aryloxy having 6 to 32 carbon atoms, R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 independently represent a group which can be substituted on a benzene ring, and l and m independently represent an integer of 0 to 4. R.sub.3 and/or R.sub.4 may be the same or different when l and/or m is 2 to 4. In a method of processing a silver halide photographic light-sensitive material, the silver halide photographic light-sensitive material is exposed imagewise and then developed with a color developer not essentially containing benzyl alcohol.

  • Patent number: 4902576
    Abstract: A high temperature sliding element is provided with a metallic film formed of any one of metals Ni, Mn, Cr, Fe and Co, and alloys of these metals on a sliding surface of a substrate of carbide ceramics or nitride ceramics in accordance with physical vapor deposition. When the substrate and a sliding counterpart ceramic member are slid in a high temperature atmosphere 500.degree. C. or higher with the metallic film intervening therebetween, wear due to sliding motion between the substrate and the counterpart ceramic member can effectively be reduced. The metallic film forms an oxidized sliding surface layer at the high temperature.
