DEFINITION

Classification: 430/40

Manifold imaging, process, composition, or product:

(under subclass 31) Processes, compositions, and products wherein an electrical potential difference is applied across a manifold sandwich which has a cohesively weak, structurable, fracturable layer or a substrate and a receiver in contact with the layer, the sandwich is imaged in the presence of an electrical potential difference to form an image in the radiation-conductive layer (e.g., by exposure of a cohesively weak, structurable, fracturable radiation-conductive layer to radiation in an imagewise configuration), and the receiver is separated from the substrate in the presence of an electrical potential

difference across the sandwich which causes the layer to fracture along the image boundaries to produce an image on the receiver and on the substrate. The compositions and products always have a radiation-conductor ingredient and a radiation-conductive layer, respectively.
