  • Gas discharge display panel having novel cathode assembly
    Patent number: 4766345
    Abstract: A cold cathode gas discharge display panel comprising a gas-filled envelope including a glass base plate and glass face plate. An array of linear electrodes are provided on the base plate with some of the cathodes having adjacent ends. The usual masking layer of insulating material is provided on the base plate to outline the cathodes but this insulating layer does not cover the adjacent ends of the cathodes so that these ends are operatively disposed close together. Thus an improved glow blending of adjacent cathode ends is achieved.

  • Reciprocating printer for patches
    Patent number: 4635548
    Abstract: Printing apparatus including a flexible support for a patch to be printed on and a vertical ram carrying type at its lower end. An inking roller is positioned to pass over the type with the type held up away from the patch to be printed on, and, after the inking roller has left the area of the type, the ram drives the inked type onto the patch. The ram is then raised, and the inking roller returns from being inked to a position where it can again ink the raised type to begin and repeat the printing operation.

  • Base drive circuit for a switching power transistor
    Patent number: 4595974
    Abstract: A circuit for controlling the base drive of switching transistor in a power supply wherein the switching transistor is coupled to the primary winding of a transformer linking the primary and secondary circuits of the power supply. Optimum operation of the switching transistor implies a desired level of saturation thereof. Base drive for the switching transistor is provided by a second conducting transistor. An excess of current flowing in the switching transistor is sensed, thereby effecting a reduction in the current flow in the second transistor. The latter condition causes a diminution in the base drive of the switching transistor and a return to its desired level of saturation.
