Assignee:

Eastman Kodak Company - Rochester NY

International Classification:

G03C 176

US Classification:

430434

Abstract:

The present invention relates to imaged elements having a protective overcoat that resists fingerprints, common stains, and spills. In particular, a curable overcoat composition is applied to an imaged element that contains a curing agent incorporated into a top layer of the element, resulting in a cured water-resistant or spill resistant overcoat. The invention can be used to protect photographic elements and recording media. In one embodiment of the invention, a UV-curable material and a water-dispersible latex is applied to a photographic print containing a photoinitiator incorporated into the original print.

Abstract:

A gelatin based photographic coating contains at least gelatin and colloidal alumina particles less than 0. 2 m. Additionally, the coating may contain any photographic addenda that may be important to the performance of a photographic product, as well as a chemical hardening agent that forms crosslinks in the coating. The alumina filled gelatin coating, when swollen with water or a photo processing solution yields an increase in wet durability in the form of an increased wet scratch resistance.

International Classification:

B41J 2315

US Classification:

347212

Abstract:

A radiation-curable ink, a method of making the ink, a thermal transfer printer ribbon having a radiation-curable ink layer, and a thermal transfer printer with an actinic energy source are provided. A method of thermal transfer printing using an ink ribbon having radiation-curable components is also provided. The radiation curable components of the ink can be thermally dried and are cured after printing of an image on a receiving article.

US Classification:

347212

Abstract:

A radiation-curable ink, a method of making the ink, a thermal transfer printer ribbon having a radiation-curable ink layer, and a thermal transfer printer with an actinic energy source are provided. A method of thermal transfer printing using an ink ribbon having radiation-curable components is also provided, as well as a thermal transfer printer which utilizes these ribbons. The radiation curable components of the ink can be thermally dried and are cured after printing of an image on a receiving article. A liquid light guide is used to transmit actinic energy from a source to the printed image.

International Classification:

G21C 17/108
G21C 23/00
G21G 1/02

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for modifying an existing nuclear reactor moveable in-core detector system to insert and withdraw target specimens from a reactor core during reactor operation without practically impeding the moveable in-core detector system's ability to obtain flux maps of the core throughout the reactor's operation. The apparatus provides a separate drive unit and delivery cable that is independent of the detector drive system, but uses most of the same core delivery conduits to access the core. A specimen holder is remotely detachable from the delivery cable when appropriately positioned and can be remotely reattached for withdrawal after a scheduled period of radiation.
