Patent number: 5416376Abstract: The present invention is a thin filament embedded in a low density aerogel for use in radiation detection instruments and incandescent lamps. The aerogel provides a supportive matrix that is thermally and electrically nonconductive, mechanically strong, highly porous, gas-permeable, and transparent to ionizing radiation over short distances. A low density, open-cell aerogel is cast around a fine filament or wire, which allows the wire to be positioned with little or no tension and keeps the wire in place in the event of breakage. The aerogel support reduces the stresses on the wire caused by vibrational, gravitational, electrical, and mechanical forces.Type: GrantFiled: October 29, 1992Date of Patent: May 16, 1995Assignee: The Regents of the University of CaliforniaInventors: Craig R. Wuest, Thomas M. Tillotson, Coleman V. Johnson, III

Patent number: 5412279Abstract: An antistatic coating was provided on a substrate 10 by dispersing latex particles 12 from a polypyrrole compound in an aqueous solution of a hydrolyzed alkoxysilane compound, after which the dispersion was applied to the substrate. The hydrolyzed alkoxysilane compound was converted to silicon dioxide by means of a treatment at an increased temperature, thereby forming a matrix 14 in which the latex particles 12 are dispersed and by means of which the latex particles are adhesively secured to the substrate 10. The antistatic coating can particularly suitably be used on the display screen of a cathode ray tube, and, if desired, said coating can simultaneously be used to reduce the light transmission of the display screen.Type: GrantFiled: September 18, 1992Date of Patent: May 2, 1995Assignee: U.S. Philips CorporationInventor: Johannes De Boer

Patent number: 5404073Abstract: An antiglare/antistatic coating for a cathode ray tube (CRT) is applied to the outer surface of the CRT's faceplate and includes a first inner hygroscopic layer of silane, water, sulfuric acid and an alcohol mixture which may be applied by dipping, spinning or spraying. The coating further includes a second outer layer of silanes, water, acid, epoxy, and a coupling agent balanced with an alcohol mixture which is sprayed onto the first inner layer. The grounded first inner layer possesses high conductivity for antistatic protection, while the second outer layer, which possesses glass-like characteristics, provides antiglare protection by reducing the faceplate's reflectivity. The second outer layer dries as a hard porous coating which resists scratching and allows water vapor to penetrate into the first inner hygroscopic layer to maintain its high conductivity.Type: GrantFiled: November 12, 1993Date of Patent: April 4, 1995Assignee: Chunghwa Picture Tubes, Ltd.Inventors: Hua-Sou Tong, Chun-Min Hu
