  • Etching method using a hardened PVA stencil
    Patent number: 4339528
    Abstract: The method comprises producing on the surface to be etched a stencil of a light-hardened PVA. The stencil is produced by light hardening selected portions of a film or coating consisting essentially of dichromate-sensitized PVA. The PVA is about 85% to 97% hydrolyzed and has a molecular weight of 75,000 to 100,000. After light hardening, the nonhardened portions of the film are removed, thereby producing the stencil. The stencil is baked to improve its etch resistance, the surface is etched through the stencil, and then the stencil is removed from the surface.

  • Method for determining the average width of luminescent stripes of a viewing screen
    Patent number: 4286164
    Abstract: In the novel method, the widths of the parallel luminescent stripes of a luminescent viewing screen are scanned by a beam of ultraviolet light whereby the stripes are excited to emit light along the path of scan. The emissions of the light in an identifying spectral band are sensed with respect to the position of the light beam on the screen and converted to a train of electrical signals. Then, the average width of the stripes identified by the spectral band is calculated from the distance over which the intensities of the signals are continuously above an assigned value.
