摘要:
Systems and methods for providing incentives for the public to travel during time windows and routes that help alleviate traffic congestion. The systems described herein include at least two components: a computer server software system that includes various algorithms and database sub-systems; and a mobile device application. Generally, a user may enter an origin, destination, and preferred time of travel for an intended trip into the mobile device application, which transmits the information to a remote server. The server computes a route for the trip and provides the user with available incentives for traveling the route at one or more departure time windows. The user's mobile device transmits GPS data to the server, which allows the server to verify whether the user has traveled the route during the specified time window. If so, the server then provides the incentive to the user via the user's mobile device or through email.

摘要:
A medium for image formation which comprises a monomolecular film or monomolecular built-up film of a metal chelate compound and a process for image formation which comprises (1) manipulating the adsorption of a gas on a metal chelate compound and the desorption of the gas therefrom or (2) reducing metal ions in molecules of a metal chelate compound.

An image-forming element is disclosed comprised of a support and a coating thereon containing a cobalt(III)complex and a compound containing a conjugated .pi. bonding system capable of forming at least a bidentate chelate with cobalt(III). The coating is predominantly free of anions which will form conjugate acids by deprotonation of a cobalt(II)complex containing the chelating compound. In one preferred form the image-forming element is radiation-sensitive. In this form the image-forming element can contain a photoactivator capable of initiating reduction of the cobalt(III)complex. An imaging process is disclosed in which the coating is exposed to actinic radiation to produce an image. Images can be recorded directly within the image-forming coating or in a separate image-recording element or layer by use of the residual cobalt(III)complex or by use of one or more of the reaction products produced by exposure. By using the ammonia liberated from ammine ligand containing cobalt(III)complexes on exposure in combination with imagewise and uniform exposures, positive or negative images can be formed in diazo image-recording layers or elements associated with the image-forming coating.
摘要:
Photographic elements, diffusion transfer assemblages and processes are described which employ a novel nondiffusible compound having a releasable 1-arylazo-4-isoquinolinol dye moiety. The compound contains:(a) in the ortho position of the arylazo moiety a metal chelating group, a salt thereof or a hydrolyzable precursor thereof; and(b) a ballasted carrier moiety which is capable of releasing the diffusible azo dye under alkaline conditions. The dye is transferred imagewise to an image-receiving layer where it is contacted with metal ions to form a metal-complexed azo dye transfer image of excellent stability.

THIS INVENTION RELATES TO THE ART OF COLOR PRINTING WHEREIN MULTI-COLOR REPRODUCTIONS RE MADE WITH A CONVENTIONAL BLACK AND WHITE FIRST PRINTING PLATE AND A SECOND, SINGLE, MULTICOLOR PRINTING PLATE. THE INVENTION IS CHARACTERIZED, IN PART, BY THE SECOND PLATE WHICH COMPRISES A BASE LAYER, A LAYER OF MICROBEADS DISTRIBUTED OVER SAID BASE LAYER AND, IN A PREFERRED EMBODIMENT, AN OVER-COATING OF A NEUTRAL DENSITY FILTER. THE MICROBEADS COMPRISE A SOURCE OF A COLOR-FORMING MATERIAL COATED FIRST WITH A LAYER OF A LIGHT SENSITIVE MATERIAL AND A SECOND LAYER OF A PHOTOGRAPHIC COLOR FILTER. THREE DISTINCT TYPES OF MICROBEAD ARE USED, ONE RESPONSICE TO EACH OF THE THREE PRIMARY COLORS, RED, YELLOW AND BLUE. THE PRINTING PROCESS COMPRISES FORMING SEPARATE COLOR SEPARATION NEGATIVES IN CONVENTIONAL MANNER, EXPOSING THE SINGLE, MULTICOLOR PRINTING PLATE TO EACH OF THE COLOR SEPARATION NEGATIVES USING THE APPROPRIATE COLORED LIGHT AND PROCESSING SAID PLATE TO REMOVE LIGHT EXPOSED PORTIONS OF THE LIGHT SENSITIVE MATERIAL THEREBY MAKING AVAILABLE RED COLOR-FORMING FROM THOSE MICROBEADS EXPOSED TO RED LIGHT, YELLOW COLOR-FORMER FROM THOSE MICROBEADS EXPOSED TO YELLOW LIGHT AND BLUE COLOR-FORMER FROM THOSE MICROBEADS EXPOSED TO BLUE LIGHT. THE AMOUNT OF COLOR-FORMER MADE AVAILABLE DETERMINES THE DEPTH OF COLOR OF THE FINAL PRINT AND THIS IS IN TURN GOVERNED BY THE QUALITY OF LIGHT PASSING THROUGH THE NEUTRAL DENSITY FILTER TO THE MICROBEAD. THE PRINTING PLATE SO DEVELOPED IS THEN CONTACTED WITH AN INK WHICH CONTAINS A SECOND COMPONENT OF THE COLOR-FORMER CAPABLE OF REACTING WITH THE FIRST COMPONENT TO THEREBY PROVIDE THE PRIMARY COLORS RED, YELLOW AND BLUE IN THE CORRESPONDING, EXPOSED AND DEVELOPED MICROBEAD. UPON CONTACT OF THE FIRST COMPONENT OF THE COLOR-FORMER ON THE PRINTING PLATE WITH THE SECOND COMPONENT OF THE COLOR-FORMER IN THE INK, A COLOR IS PRODUCED IN EACH OF THE DEVELOPED MICROBEADS WHICH COLOR IS EQUIVALENT TO A COLOR DOT IN A CONVENTIONAL PRINTING PROCESS. CONSEQUENTLY, A COLORED ILLUSION IS OBTAINED HAVING ALL OF THE COLORS AND HUES READY FOR TRANSFER TO A TRANSFER SURFACE.
