US Patent:

52663817, Nov 30, 1993

Filed:

Jun 14, 1991

Appl. No.:

7/716654

Inventors:

William Simon - La Grange IL

International Classification:

B44C 117

US Classification:

428195

Abstract:

A method of touching up tainted photographs in which one or more of the posers are photographed with closed eyes, in order to form opened eyes thereon. The method utilizes dry-transfers, with each dry-transfer being formed in the shape of an eye, with the dry-transfers being provided on a backing substrate, which substrate includes a plurality of rows of eye-shaped dry-transfers, each eye-shaped dry-transfer of each row being identical, with each row of such eye-shaped dry-transfers having eye-shaped dry-transfers that are of larger size than the adjacent, lower row, in order to provide a plurality of differently-sized eye-transfers, whereby photographs taken at different distances, different lenses, and the like, may be touched up by choosing that eye-transfer that has the most suitable size for a particular photograph and person photographed.

Abstract:

A method of operating and an apparatus comprising a very compact, bit-organized nondestructive readout (NDRO) random-access magnetic memory system is disclosed. The memory system is directed toward an improvement of the memory system of the D. S. Lo, et al. , U. S. Pat. No. 3,550,101 and includes a continuous oligatomic ferromagnetic film (a film that is too thin to permit either Bloch walls or cross-tie walls, but does permit Neel walls) that has the property of uniaxial anisotropy which property provides an easy axis in the plane of the film along which the film's remanent magnetization may be aligned in either of two opposed information states and a hard axis in the plane of the film that is perpendicular to the easy axis. The film is initially saturated in a first direction along the easy axis while provided in the plane of the film are static, alternating-directioned parallel and antiparallel bias fields: parallel to the first direction in the vicinity of the memory areas as defined by the intersections of superposed, orthogonal word lines and sense-digit lines and antiparallel to the first direction in the areas between the memory areas. The bias field converts the magnetic domain of the D. S.
