Abstract: A suspensory for improving the erection of the human male penis by means of deliberately choking the backflow of the venous blood, including a rigid, generally rectangular ring composed of two crossbars and two sidebars, which, in use, surrounds the penis as well as the scrotum, and which carries one rounded bulge 13 at the center of its upper crossbar that presses on the topside of the penis near the abdomen, and one bulge 17 on or adjacent its lower bar that presses on the root of the penis at the backside of the scrotum.

Abstract: Active matrix addressed liquid crystal TV sets configurated in the way described by A. G. Fischer in U.S. Pat. No. 3,840,695 can be enlarged to monolithic square-meter-sized wall TV panels. The large-area thin-film-electronic matrix circuit needed to address the superimposed liquid crystal layer can be vacuum-deposited from a multiple source evaporator onto one coherent glass pane through a number of small reticulated perforated sheet metal masks which are held successively against a chosen reticle of the large glass pane, in exact registration with each other and neighbouring reticles. The large glass pane must be precision-shifted in X-Y-reticle-steps for repeated vacuum depositions, in exact registration. The machinery required is described.

Abstract: A process is provided for producing electroluminescent powders for use in information display panels of the type in which a monoparticle layer of electroluminescent powder is embedded in a high dielectric constant resin between two electrodes. The powders are zinc sulfide powders coactivated with aluminum and capable of emitting white light, as well as light of various colors. In the production of these powders they are treated to form an impermeable inorganic surface coating on the powder particles. The coating may be zinc phosphate or glass.

Abstract: A nuclear reactor that burns hydrogen bomb material 6-lithium deuterotritide to helium in successive microexplosions which are ignited electrically and enclosed by this same molten material, and that permits the conversion of the reaction heat into useful electrical power. A specially-constructed high-current pulse machine is discharged via a thermally-preformed highly conducting path through a mass of the molten salt .sup.6 LiD.sub.1-x T.sub.x (0<x<1). In the resulting dense, hot plasma filament primary nucleons are formed by field-accelerated fusion collisions. These hot particles initiate suprathermal multistepped propagating fission-fusion avalanches that heat the plasma by their own released energy up to thermonuclear temperature. The plasma is confined inertially and magnetically. Neutrons escaping sideways are utilized to breed tritium in the surrounding liquid blanket material, for participation in the next pulse.

Abstract: This invention relates to a nuclear fusion power plant for producing useful electrical energy by nuclear combustion of deuterium and lithium to helium. A large concentric plate capacitor is discharged rapidly through a mass of molten LiD.sub.1-x T.sub.x (O<X<1) that is situated at its center. Before this discharge, a conducting path had been thermally preformed between the electrodes by an ac current pulse. The high-temperature, high-pressure plasma is confined by the LiD liquid in a narrow channel. Neutrons are generated, partly by thermonuclear fusion, partly by suprathermal collisions which result from the well-known sausage instability. Short n-.sup.6 Li-D-T chain reactions, enhanced by the beryllium content of the electrodes, are also present. The escaping neutrons are absorbed by the surrounding liquid where they breed T, which is then chemically bound, and produce heat.

Abstract: Photoconductive layers particularly useful with integrated circuits are directly made from compositions selected from the group consisting of zinc sulfide (ZnS), cadmium sulfide (CdS), cadmium selenide (CdSe), cadmium telluride (CdTe), zinc sulfide selenide (ZnS.sub.x Se.sub.1-x), and cadmium sulfide selenide (CdS.sub.x Se.sub.1-x), and cadmium sulfide telluride (CdS.sub.x Te.sub.1-x). Powders of component materials for the photoconductive layer are mixed with a copper halide powder such that the copper halide is between about 0.1 and 5.0% and preferably between about 0.1 and 2.0% by weight of the total mixture. The mixed powder then is formed into at least one pellet and the pellet used as an evaporant source for vacuum deposition of a photoconductive layer onto a prepared substrate at a rate greater than 10 nanometers/minute and preferably greater than 500 nanometers per minute. The photoconductive layer and substrate are then baked in an oxygen-rich atmosphere at a temperature between 300.degree. and 550.
