Microphonic suppressors are included in a color cathode ray tube. The suppressors are attached to the shadow mask and extend within the space between the mask and tube wall. One end of the suppressor contacts the tube wall. Constructed of spring-like material, the suppressors absorb sound waves generated within the television receiver before these sound waves can cause vibration of the shadow mask.

Resilient means on the mask frame of a cathode ray tube support the mask-frame assembly by mating with positioning studs embedded in the sidewall of the tube's viewing panel. To prevent permanent deformation of the resilient support means, mesas are formed adjacent to each means to beneficially limit their flexural movement necessitated by repeated insertion and removal of the mask-frame assembly during tube manufacturing.

Wearable headlight devices and related methods are provided and can include a luminaire that can include a housing having a luminaire vent therein for receiving cooling air and a light source contained within the housing. An air moving device can be located outside of the luminaire for facilitating cooling air intake through the luminaire vent. An exhaust tube can be connected to the luminaire and the air moving device to facilitate air flow of the cooling air between the luminaire and the air moving device.

Disclosed in this specification is a luminaire with a vented iris controller disposed on the external surface of the housing of the luminaire. The controller is for dilating and constricting the iris, thus controlling the size of the illuminated spot, wherein the iris controller is comprised of a hollow cylinder, rotatable relative to the housing. The cylinder has an inner ring and an outer ring, wherein the inner ring and outer ring are connected by a plurality of braces and vented spaces are present between each of the braces. Advantageously, the vented spaces help keep the outer ring cool, thus facilitating the operation of the iris controller by a user.

An imaging system has an optical assembly that can be removably attached to an elongated housing for insertion therewith into a narrow orifice. The housing has an imager such as a CCD array disposed therein. The housing and the optical assembly are secured together by a bayonet connector that is centered on the distal end of the housing. The housing has a plurality of light guides for transmitting light energy through the distal end of the housing via ports that are radially more distant from the axis of the housing than the outermost surface of the bayonet connector. The optical assembly has passages that align with the light guides of the housing, so that light energy passes from the light guides in the housing through the optical assembly along pathways that are outboard of the bayonet connector. The system can be employed for dental imaging, wherein the housing has an elliptical profile and is dimensioned to fit in the mouth of a patient. The housing further has a smooth, continuous exterior surface for receiving a protective sheath thereon. The exterior surface of the optical adapter is aligned with the exterior surface of the housing so that the unit has a smoothly continuous surface.

A compact self-contained fail-safe motorized mirror assembly is provided for selective attachment to the end of a borescope insertion tube, attachment is through three self-locking standoff pins threaded on each end for engagement in the mirror assembly housing and the head connector of the insertion tube. One end of each pin and its socket is right-hand threaded and the other is left-hand threaded. A simplified bayonet style battery housing and motor "on/off" switch are provided at the other end of the housing to complete the assembly so that actuation of the motor can only be accomplished by deliberate rotation of the battery housing end and it cannot be accidentally disengaged except by a compound reverse motion of the end cap.

An imaging assembly includes a miniature electronic image sensor including an imaging substrate having a plurality of pixels and a microlens array aligned with corresponding pixels on said imaging substrate and focusing optics for focusing an optical image of a target onto the imaging substrate including at least one adaptive lens element. The focusing optics have a first exit pupil distance defining a first field of view and the miniature electronic image sensor has a second exit pupil distance defining a second field of view which is different than the first exit pupil distance. The adaptive lens element directs light onto said imaging substrate through said microlens array while maintaining the first field of view.
摘要:
A fluorescent borescope is provided that provides target measuring capabilities. The device includes a primary ultraviolet light source and a secondary visible light source that has a light path spaced apart from the primary light source. The secondary light source is associated with a shadow bar that projects a shadow onto a target to be measured in a way that its video image changes position or size in proportion to the distance of the image sensing head of the borescope from the target. Calibration and measurement circuitry are provided to determine the size of the target in relation to the magnification of the projected shadow.

A torsional strain relief assembly is provided for absorbing torsional strain at the proximal end of an elongated flexible insertion tube of a borescope or endoscope. The insertion tube is torsionally stiff, i.e. is bendable but resists rotation or twisting about its axis. The strain relief has a tubular rigid sleeve that is attached at its proximal end to a frame or housing, and contains a helical torsion spring whose proximal end is rotationally affixed to the frame. A bushing is rotatably disposed within the distal end of the sleeve and joins the distal end of the spring to the proximal end of the insertion tube. A layer of low friction material such as PTFE can be interposed between the bushing and the inner surface of the rigid sleeve. Rotation of the insertion tube due to bending and twisting is taken up by the spring, and the spring returns the insertion tube to the original position when the twisting forces are relieved. The oeprator can track the orientation of the optical or video imager in the head of the insertion tube by viewing a reference mark or index at the proximal end of the insertion tube.

A film holder for a video display system, having a probe with a head portion, a processor, a monitor, and a printer for producing a permanent hard copy of the image received by the probe, includes a housing for positioning the film relative to the head of the video probe. The housing is provided with an aperture for receiving, positioning, and securing the head of the video probe within the housing. The housing also includes a diffuser for diffusing light entering the housing, and a slidable frame positioned between the diffuser and the housing aperture. The sliding frame is employed to secure the film at a predetermined distance from the head of the video probe. The sliding frame is provided with quick release fasteners so that individual pieces of x-ray film are easily interchanged within the frame.
