US Patent:

6399288, Jun 4, 2002

Filed:

Dec 14, 2000

Appl. No.:

09/736935

Inventors:

Thomas P. Larkin - Honeoye Falls NY
Steven A. Mango - Honeoye Falls NY
Charles F. Leith - Rochester NY
Daniel T. Kennelly - Rochester NY

Assignee:

Eastman Kodak Company - Rochester NY

International Classification:

G03C 172

US Classification:

430497

Abstract:

High contrast color images can be obtained from aerial color photography by rapidly processing certain color photographic silver halide films with a color developing composition under certain conditions. The color developing composition can have a pH of from about 10. 2 to about 10. 6 and a color developing agent at a concentration of least 0. 015 mol/l. Color development is carried out for less than 180 seconds at from about 40 to about 42Â C. The resulting color images have a contrast greater than 0. 83, low D , low granularity and high sharpness and resolution.

Assignee:

MARIETTA CORPORATION - Cortland NY

International Classification:

B65B 43/04
B65B 51/10
B65B 7/28

US Classification:

53455, 53471, 53477, 53562, 532847, 533292

Abstract:

A method of automatically manufacturing a filled packette having a closure where a film is advanced from a feed roller to a punch that produces a series of holes in the film. Individual closures are then positioned into each punched hole and ultrasonically welded into place. The film is folded and oriented vertically so that heat sealing may be used to form the side and bottom edges of individual pockets. The film is then clipped to form individual pockets and filed with the appropriate amount of desired material from a bulk feeder. The filled pockets may be sealed along the top edge to form a closed packette and die cut to form the final packette shape.
