A trailer hitch storage apparatus including a rectangular base plate, a hollow rectangular male member having a first front end welded to the base plate, and a hollow rectangular female member having a second front end welded to the base plate. The male member is removably disposed within a trailer hitch receiver which receives an open first rear end of the male member. A ball mount is removably disposed within the female member through a second rear end. A right portion of a pin is slidably and continuously disposed through a first pair of openings disposed through the female member and a second pair of openings disposed through the ball mount. A left portion of a pin is slidably and continuously disposed through a first pair of apertures disposed through the male member and a second pair of apertures disposed through the trailer hitch receiver.

High bromide cubic grain emulsions

A radiographic silver halide film has improved processability because it includes a silver halide emulsion composed of cubic grains having a critical molar ratio of chloride, iodide, and bromide. In particular, the cubic grains comprise from about 1 to about 20 mol % of chloride and from about 0.25 to about 1.5 mol % of iodide, with the remainder being bromide. The cubic grains also have an ECD of from about 0.65 to about 0.8 &mgr;m. This film is particularly useful in mammography for imaging dense soft tissue.

Radiographic film for mammography with improved processability

A high quality direct radiographic film is useful for dental care. The film contains relatively high silver coverage preferably coated on both sides of the support. It also contains sufficient silver halide desensitizer to reduce silver halide sensitivity to X-radiation by at least 0.02 log E. The combination of silver and desensitizer coverages provides sufficiently high photographic speed, excellent image quality and increased stability to background radiation sources.

High-speed high quality direct radiographic film

A radiation-sensitive film for reproducing digitally stored medical diagnostic images through a series of laterally offset exposures by a controlled radiation source followed byprocessing in 90 seconds or less including development, fixing and drying is disclosed. The film exhibits an average contrast in the range of from 1.5 to 2.0, measured over a density above fog of from 0.25 to 2.0. An emulsion is provided in which silver bromochloride grains provided (a) containing at least 10 mole percent bromide, based on silver, (b) having a mean equivalent circular diameter of less than 0.40 .mu.m, (c) exhibiting an average aspect ratio of less than 1.3, and (d) coated at a silver coverage of less than 40 mg/dm.sup.2. Adsorbed to the surfaces of the silver bromochloride grains is at least one spectral sensitizing dye having an absorption half peak bandwidth in the spectral region of exposure by the controlled exposure source. The film also contains an infrared opacifying dye capable of reducing specular transmission through the film before, during and after processing to less than 50 percent, measured at a wavelength within the spectral region of from 850 to 1100 nm.
