...that two musicians were responsible for the invention of color print film? Fascinated by photography, Leopold Godowsky and Leopold Mannes worked together to produce an easy-to-use, practical color film. They worked full time as music teachers and gave concerts while experimenting during their off hours in Mannes' kitchen. Their success earned them full-time, well-paying jobs at Kodak and their efforts resulted in Kodachrome film, which was introduced in 1935.

| Number | Title | Issue Date |
| 7196025 | Method and apparatus for forming fabrics and fabrics made by the method A method for forming a material having an individually stabilized ply includes providing a ply having a non-orthogonal orientation. A stabilizing agent is then applied to maintain the orientation of the ply. The stabilizing agent could alternately be applied before ... | 03/27/2007 |
| 7153792 | Flexible composites and applications including the flexible composites A flexible composite includes a ply having a non-orthogonal orientation. The flexible composite may be a component of a flexible assembly. The flexible assembly may be any number of fabric-based assemblies such as a radome cover of a radome, a belt for an industrial... | 12/26/2006 |
| 7104286 | Weaving machine with correction of the distortion of the weft A weaving machine includes two temples whose axis is parallel to the weft threads and which are located at the lateral edges of the cloth, a cylindrical cloth-deflecting bar on which the cloth presses around an arc of contact before winding around a haul-off roll on... | 09/12/2006 |
| 6883555 | Device for producing a tubular belt band that can be turned inside out A device for producing at least two tubular belt bands that are turned inside out, where each of the belt bands has two fabric layers on top of one another and connected to each other in a longitudinal direction by woven hems to form a cavity. Warp threads of the la... | 04/26/2005 |
| 6659138 | Device for producing a tape having a curve, especially a curved flat line compound The invention relates to a device for producing a tape having a curve, especially a curved flat line compound. The inventive device consists of several clamping jaw pairs that are arranged downstream in relation to a weaving device and serve for withdrawi... | 12/09/2003 |
| 5592977 | Multi-layered woven belt with rope shaped portion A woven belt having thick and narrow portions with a breaking strength per unit width that exceeds the level of strength of conventional fabric straps and belts. One embodiment of the belt includes at least four layers of weave structure in which two oute... | 01/14/1997 |
