Dear Yuri:
The drawings are TIFF files. As I understand it, the Japanese
patent office was using TIFF and the US PTO just followed their usage.
In my opinion, PDF should have been used for everything.
So, one needs a reading-program that is able to display TIFF files.
I use Quick View Plus. A look here
http://www.uspto.gov/patft/help/images.htm
will find what the PTO describes as "free, unlimited TIFF plug-ins."

400 dpi PDF files would have been much better for everyone! Smaller
files, better looking pages, and searching capability.

Let us know how things worked out.

Thanks, very well done!

How can you see the drawings?
