Latest Patents

Among his latest patents is the "Transparency film assemblage with processing liquid pad in envelope." This invention involves a transparency film assemblage designed for use with a camera, featuring a mount with an aperture and a film frame that has a photosensitive layer. The mount is secured with a moisture impermeable envelope containing a foraminous pad impregnated with developing liquid. After exposure, the envelope is opened, allowing the pad to be laminated to the photosensitive layer, and the assembly is refolded into a light impermeable envelope suitable for ejection from the camera while film developing continues.

Another significant patent is the "Method and apparatus for processing both sides of discrete sheets." This invention describes a method and apparatus for simultaneously processing both sides of a film sheet using a pair of carrier webs. The processing material is deposited on the carrier webs, which are then advanced and retracted to create a sandwich with the film sheet. This innovative approach allows for efficient processing of film sheets.
