Abstract: Often, during an event, such as a movie, play, concert, opera, etc., viewers of the event attempt to illicitly record the event. Such illicit recording attempts may be interfered with by using emitters that emit radiation that interferes with recording and/or operation of the recording devices. For example, infrared emitters may be used to saturate an event viewing area. The infrared, while non-visible to human viewers, is received and recorded by recorders using charge-coupled devices (CCDs), such as conventional digital cameras, movie cameras, television cameras, telescopes, etc. Other radiation can be emitted based on the type of recorder with which one desires to interfere. Alternatively, or in addition thereto, emitters may also be used to send commands to recorders, such as stop, rewind, eject, etc., to interfere with operation of the recorders.

Abstract: A paper emulsion film product and method for producing the same is shown. The film product includes a first layer of editing tape, a second layer of editing tape, and a layer of paper emulsion formed from a paper reproduction of a photograph sandwiched between the respective layers of editing tape.

Abstract: A novel printing plate mounting device and procedure are provided. A small-scale single-color representation of a carton blank or other substrate and a complete usually multi-color image to be printed thereon is projected from an acetate film or other suitable substrate onto a carrier sheet to provide a full-scale single-color representation of the substrate and the image to be printed thereon. A small-scale usually multi-color representation of the carton blank and the complete usually multi-color image to be printed thereon is used as a template to determine which ones of a plurality of individual printing plate elements is used to print which ones of the color of the multi-color image. The individual printing plate elements for each color then are affixed to separate carrier sheets in the position shown by the full-scale single-color representation.

Abstract: A method is disclosed whereby film images designed to produce a high-impact effect upon the members of an audience viewing a motion picture film are composited with other images designed to provide the conventional cinematic effect upon such audience members. "High-impact" film images photographed at forty-eight frames per second are composited with "conventional" images photographed at the traditional motion picture rate of twenty-four frames per second, with such images superimposed onto the same film frame. Certain portions of the motion picture image seen by the audience deliver a greater illusion of reality than other portions of the same motion picture image. In addition, the method described can accommodate the intercutting of discrete scenes presenting either high-impact or conventional cinema experience. The method disclosed here also allows easy conversion of films to the conventional twenty-four frames per second rate associated with conventional motion picture release and distribution.

Abstract: The projector and the camera in an optical image printer are of identical elementary construction, at least as far as the projector and camera housings and their film transports are concerned.Alternatively or additionally, the optical image printer includes four identical film magazines which are mounted in first and second pairs, respectively, on the projector and camera housings.

Abstract: A multiple pattern display device comprising a plurality of strips interlaced in a weave to expose selected sections thereof. The strips are attached to rollers at the ends thereof, and as the rollers are driven in rotation the exposed sections of the strips within the weave are varied. In this manner various messages can be sequentially displayed. The weaved arrangement of the strips is maintained in a coherent relationship by gearing the rollers such that as the rollers are turned various messages are formed by the exposed group of strip segments. During the transition between messages a kaleidoscopic effect is produced which typically is interesting to viewers.
