摘要:
A diode clamp in a kine driver circuit clamps the voltage at the grid (G1) element of a picture tube to a level derived from the voltage at the cathode element of the picture tube. Deriving the grid (G1) voltage from the cathode voltage ensures that if the kine driver amplifier saturates, the voltage applied to the grid (G1) will always be less than that applied to the cathode. Thus, excessive beam current is prevented from flowing immediately following cold cathode turn-on, which excessive beam current would otherwise cause a phenomenon known as "focus flutter".

摘要:
An excessive beam current indicator circuit in a television receiver for indicating whenever the beam current in a cathoderay tube exceeds a predetermined, maximum ''''safe'''' level. The indicator circuitry utilizes the anode current supplied to the second anode of a cathode-ray tube to develop a voltage drop across a resistor interposed in the anode lead. The voltage drop, representative of the actual beam current, is applied to a switch device, such as a neon bulb, causing it to ignite whenever its firing potential is exceeded. Proper selection of the resistor insures that the neon device will light only when the beam current exceeds the maximum ''''safe'''' level.
摘要:
A control circuit for preventing the application of accelerating potential in excess of a predetermined maximum value to the cathode-ray picture tube of a television receiver. Positive polarity pulses are amplitude related to the applied accelerating potential derived from the receiver horizontal deflection system and impressed on a neon bulb. When these pulses exceed a predetermined amplitude corresponding to the predetermined maximum value of accelerating potential, the bulb fires and causes a positive bias to be impressed on the control grid of the receiver luminance amplifier. This increases the beam current in the cathode-ray tube, heavily loading down the power supply and preventing the accelerating potential from remaining at an excessive level.
摘要:
A peak beam current leveler for use in a television receiver system which is responsive to the magnitude of the beam current supplied to the cathode of the cathode ray tube (CRT) exceeding a predetermined peak level to adjust the cathode peak beam current accordingly. The cathode beam current is supplied by a gain controlled video amplifier to the cathode through the base-emitter junction of a transistor. The collector electrode of the transistor is connected with a resistor for providing a voltage level proportional to the peak beam cathode current. A comparator circuit is utilized to provide a gain control signal that controls the gain of the gain controlled video amplifier such that the higher the beam current the more gain reduction that occurs. Thus, the level of the peak current is automatically reduced to maintain good focusing of the display on the CRT.

Multi-gun color television display apparatus having for each gun an identical beam current reference level control system wherein the relative position of a reference level in the video signal and a setting voltage of the electron guns are periodically shifted for obtaining, for the control system outside the measuring periods, a coincidence of the reference level in the video signal and the cut-off point of each of the electron guns for a proper color rendition at a low brightness.
摘要:
A normally saturated transistor having its collector electrode serially coupled with the brightness control for a television kinescope, its emitter electrode grounded, and its base electrode coupled to sense the amount of current flowing through such device is effective to dynamically adjust the direct current bias of the video signal chain when that current exceeds a predetermined value, with the change in bias being in an offsetting direction to reduce the kinescope drive. Such an arrangement proves advantageous in eliminating the need for a brightness limiter control potentiometer- of the type utilized in U.S. Pat. No. 3,541,240, for example-which, though normally preset prior to delivery of the receiver to a purchasing customer, could become misadjusted and result in damage to the television picture tube.
摘要:
A beam current limiting circuit for a cathode-ray tube (CRT) having at least a cathode, a grid and an anode comprising an anode circuit having a fly back transformer including a primary coil and a secondary coil, a power source, a high voltage rectifier for rectifying flyback pulses generated across the secondary coil, a beam current responsive means inserted between the power source and the secondary coil, a grid bias means, and switching means. The beam current responsive means is connected to the switching means and generates a control voltage whose value is so determined to be lower than the grid bias voltage while the beam current is larger than a predetermined value. The switching means is responsive to the control voltage and changes its conductive or nonconductive condition to supply the control voltage to the grid when the beam current exceeds the predetermined value, so that the beam current is prevented from exceeding the predetermined value.

This invention relates to a control circuit for a television receiver which features a gated circuit which passes the flyback signal a different selected amount than the video intensity signal. Therefore, the ratio of the flyback signal to that of intensity signal is controllable. The flyback signal is used to control the beam current intensity by use of a rectifier circuit.
摘要:
A method for generating an infrared (IR) beam for illuminating a scene to be imaged comprises providing at least two IR emitters, including a first IR emitter operable to emit a wide beam component of the IR beam, and a second IR emitter operable to emit a narrow beam component of the IR beam, wherein the wide beam component has a linear profile that has a lower standard deviation than a linear profile of the narrow beam component. The method also comprises selecting a desired linear profile for the IR beam, and selecting a power ratio of power directed to the first IR emitter and power directed to the second IR emitter that produces the IR beam with the desired linear profile when the narrow beam component and wide beam component are combined; and directing power to the first and second IR emitters at the selected power ratio to generate the wide and narrow beam components, and combining the generated wide and narrow beam components to produce the IR beam.
