Abstract:
AN ULTRAVIOLET-EMITTING CATHODOLUMINESCENT PHOSPHOR COMPRISING SR2ZNSI2O7:PB (0.6% TO 1.0% MOLAR) WHEREIN PB SUBSTITUTES IN PART FOR SR AND ZN IS PREPARED BY HEATING IN POWDER FORM A MIXTURE OF SILICON DIOXIDE, STRONTIUM CARBONATE, STRONTIUM FLUORIDE, ZINC OXIDE AND LEAD OXIDE IN AN ATMOSPHERE OF FLOWING AIR AND STEAM AT A TEMPERATURE IN THE RANGE OF ABOUT 1275*C. TO 1325*C. THE RESULTING MATERIAL, IN WHICH LEAD ACTS AS AN ACTIVATOR, GIVES RADIANT ULTRAVIOLET OUTPUTS APPROACHING 1 KILOWATT/ CM.2 AT 2.5% EFFICIENCY UNDER EXTREMELY HIGH CURRENT DENSITY EXCITATION IN VERY HIGH RESOLUTION CATHODE-RAY TUBES.
Abstract:
This invention relates to a radiation display tube having an increased image resolution and recording efficiency and comprising a first evacuated chambers, a second chamber having a radiation transparent end wall with a conductive inner surface and which is adapted to be filled with an ionizable gas of desired constituency and pressure, and a gas tight, nonconducting interface wall positioned therebetween and having a plurality of discrete conducting elements extending therethrough. Apparatus is provided in the first chamber for projecting and scanning an electron beam upon the interface wall which thereby causes a current to be conducted through the interface whereby a sequence of arc discharges will occur in the second chamber. Means are also provided to vary the fill of the second chamber with gas of the desired constituency.
Abstract:
A transmission type direct storage tube in which a lateral field neutralizer electrode is positioned adjacent the transmission storage electrode to confine the lateral effects of charge on the storage electrode to individual mesh openings in the storage electrode and prevent interaction with neighboring mesh openings.
Abstract:
A device providing high resolution readout of information stored on a film. A slit equal in width to the desired spot size diameter is placed in front of a moving film. A fiber optics strip is placed in back of the film in line with the slit. A beam of light scans across the slit. The fiber optics strip is comprised of a plurality of optic fibers. The width of each fiber is also equal to the desired spot size diameter. All of the optic fibers are connected to a small group of photodetectors. The fibers and the detectors are arranged in such a manner that no one detector will receive information from more than one fiber at any one time as the beam scans across the slit.
