Emulsion Making:  US 5132203

Photographic emulsions are disclosed comprised of radiation sensitive silver iodobromide grains, at least 50 percent of the total projected area of said silver iodobromide grains being accounted for by tabular grains exhibiting a mean tabularity of greater than 5, at least 10 percent of which are comprised of two opposed parallel major crystal faces, a host stratum having an iodide content of at least 4 mole percent, and laminar strata containing less than 2 mole percent iodide interposed between said host stratum and said opposed major crystal faces.The emulsions are characterized in that each of the laminar strata is comprised of a surface layer forming one of the major surfaces and having a thickness in the range of from 20 to 350 Å and a subsurface layer located immediately beneath and in contact with the surface layer containing a hexacoordination complex of a Group VIII period 4 or 5 metal and at least three cyanide ligands.

 Coating – US 2761791

THE METHOD OF SIMULTANEOUSLY APPLYING THIN COATINGS OF A PLURALITY OF COLLOIDAL MATERIALS ONTO A WEB SUPPORT IN DISTINCT LAYER RELATIONSHIP COMPRISING THE STEPS OF MAKING A SOLUTION OF EACH OF SAID COLLOIDAL MATERIALS, FORMING A COATING BEAD OF SAID SOLUTIONS IN BRIDGING RELATION BETWEEN THE SURFACE OF THE SUPPORT AND A STATIONARY COATING DEVICE SPACED TRANSVERSELY THEREFROM, SIMULTANEOUSLY FEEDING EACH OF SAID SOLUTIONS IN THE FORM OF A LAYER INTO SAID BEAD AND IN SUPERPOSED RELATION TO THE OTHER SOLUTIONS WHEREBY THE INDIVIDUAL LAYERS ARE MAINTAINED IN DISTINCT SUPERPOSED RELATION, AND CONTINUOUSLY MOVING THE SURFACE OF SAID SUPPORT ACROSS AND IN CONTACT WITH SAID BEAD SO THAT THE SURFACE OF THE SUPPORT ENGAGES ONE OF THE OUTERMOST OF THE SUPERPOSED LAYERS IN SAID BEAD AND SIMULTANEOUSLY PICKS UP ALL OF SAID LAYERS AND MOVES AWAY FROM THE BEAD WITH THE SOLUTIONS IN DISTINCT SUPERPOSED LAYERS. Inventor: Theodore A Russell 1953 // it was based upon patents held by Bell Labs. … see Ilford’s US2941898A for more.

Dopants in Films – US 5360712

A process is disclosed of preparing a radiation sensitive silver halide emulsion comprising reacting silver and halide ions in a dispersing medium in the presence of a metal hexacoordination or tetracoordination complex having at least one organic ligand containing a least one carbon-to-carbon bond, at least one carbon-to-hydrogen bond, or at least one carbon-to-nitrogen-to-hydrogen bond sequence and at least half of the metal coordination sites occupied by halide or pseudohalide ligands. The metal forming the complex is chosen from periods 4, 5 and 6 and groups 3 to 13 inclusive of the periodic table of elements. The incorporation of the transition metal ion dopant and at least one organic ligand into the cubic crystal lattice of the silver halide grains can be used to improve photographic performance.
