Abstract:
A cathodoluminescent lighting system has a light emitting device having an envelope with a transparent face, a cathode for emitting electrons, an anode with a phosphor layer and a conductor layer. The phosphor layer emits light through the transparent face of the envelope. The system also has a power supply for providing at least five thousand volts of power to the light emitting device, and the electrons transiting from cathode to anode are essentially unfocused. Additional embodiments responsive to triac-type dimmers with intensity and color-changes in response to dimmer control. A power-factor-corrected embodiment is also disclosed.

A method for manufacturing a display tube includes press-forming molten glass in a mold, cooling the formed glass after it has been taken out from the mold, and reducing the temperature gradient between center and edge of the panel by reflecting heat radiation back to a central portion of the panel.
Abstract:
A monitoring apparatus and method for measuring light output gradient of a faceplate panel includes a top plate having a center detector and a plurality of corner detectors mounted along a major surface thereof. Lenses are optically coupled to a respective detector, and radiometers are electrically coupled to a respective detector. A bottom plate spaced apart from the top plate has a plurality of light outputs mounted along a major surface thereof and positioned to be opposite each detector. A light source is optically coupled to each light output through a splitter. A computer is electrically coupled to the light source for receiving feedback therefrom and for controlling the light source. The computer is also electrically coupled to each radiometer for recording data therefrom. During monitoring, a faceplate panel having a matrix applied thereto is accurately positioned between the top and bottom plates such that the center detector is located approximately above the center of the faceplate panel. Light is passed from the light sources through the faceplate panel to the detectors under control of the computer. The light output measurements at each detector are recorded by the computer and calculation is made of a light output gradient based upon a comparison of the light output at the center detector to the light output at the corner detector.
Abstract:
An imaging camera includes a housing that defines a proximal end and a distal end. A Fresnel lens is installed in the proximal end of the housing. Moreover, a reflection mode photocathode is installed in the distal end of the housing opposite the Fresnel lens. An electron sensor is disposed in the center of the Fresnel lens. A conductive layer is disposed on the interior of the housing. Further, the Fresnel lens establishes plural concentric optically passive surfaces that are parallel to a central axis defined by the imaging camera. A conductive layer is disposed on each optically passive surface, and an electron lens is established by the conductive layer on the interior of the housing and the conductive layers on the Fresnel lens.

Abstract:
A positioning system (20) for positioning a cone part of or for a CRT comprises a first and a second positioning means (22, 23) at positions corresponding to two corners of a side of a rectangle, and a third positioning means (21) at a position in the middle of the opposite side. The first and second means (22, 23) have a saddle-shaped contact surface, which is convex in the direction (51) from the tapered end to the wide end and concave (radius of curvature R) towards a central part of the rectangle, a contact surface of the third positioning means (21) is convex in the direction (51) from the tapered end to the wide end and convex or flat in a plane through the contact surfaces of the positioning means.
