Abstract: A cathode ray tube includes an electron gun directing electrons away from a faceplate having an electrode biased at screen potential. One or more electromagnets located on or near the rear wall of the tube envelope are biased with dc currents so that the electron beam (three beams in a color tube) is deflected by the magnetic field produced thereby to impinge upon the faceplate. The electron beam is magnetically deflected over a relatively small angle as it exits the electron gun to scan across the faceplate to impinge upon phosphors thereon to produce light depicting an image or information. The electromagnet closest the electron gun is typically biased to produce a strong magnetic field to deflect electrons to the faceplate near to the electron gun. The electromagnets more distant the electron gun produce magnetic fields to direct electrons towards the faceplate, with the electromagnet most distant the electron gun deflecting the electrons to tend to increase the landing angle thereof on the faceplate.

An electrical function is provided by one or more circuit carriers disposed in cavities in the plural layer woven article and/or one or more functional yarn in the warp and/or the weft, wherein the circuit carrier and/or functional yarn include an electrical contact for connecting to the electrically conductive yarn in the warp and/or weft.

Abstract: A cathode ray tube includes an electron gun directing electrons towards a faceplate having an electrode biased at screen potential. The electron beam is magnetically deflected to scan across the faceplate to impinge upon phosphors thereon to produce light depicting an image or information. A neck electrode near the tube neck is biased at or below screen potential and a second electrode between the neck electrode and the faceplate is biased at or above screen potential. As a result, the electrons are deflected over a greater total angle than is obtained from the magnetic deflection. A third electrode proximate the faceplate is biased at or below screen potential to direct electrons towards the faceplate, thereby to increase the landing angle of the electrons thereon. A metal and ceramic support includes a resistive voltage divider to which ones of the electrodes connect.

Abstract: A cathode ray tube includes an electron gun directing electrons towards a faceplate having an electrode biased at screen potential. The electron beam (three beams in a color tube) is magnetically deflected to scan across the faceplate to impinge upon phosphors thereon to produce light depicting an image or information. A first pair of electromagnetic coils forward of the tube neck and deflection yoke is biased by a substantially constant current level to further deflect the electron beam. As a result, the electrons are deflected over a greater total angle than is obtained from the magnetic deflection yoke alone. A further pair of electromagnetic coils proximate the faceplate is biased by an oppositely poled substantially constant current level to direct electrons towards the faceplate, thereby to increase the landing angle of the electrons thereon.

Abstract: A color display apparatus and method for displaying colors using radiation sources are provided. The displays may include multiple radiation sources, a display surface and control hardware and software that enable accurate and reproducible color display. Another apparatus provides means for generating colors upon request and communicating digital information regarding the generation of the color spectrum to local or remote display devices. The apparatus may be used in selecting and ordering colors subject to supplier constraints.

Abstract: A cathode ray tube includes an electron gun directing electrons away from a faceplate having an electrode biased at screen potential. A plurality of electrodes located on or near the rear wall of the tube envelope are biased at graduated potentials so that the electron beam is deflected by the electrostatic field produced thereby to impinge upon the faceplate. The electron beam is magnetically deflected over a relatively small angle as it exits the electron gun to scan across the faceplate to impinge upon phosphors thereon to produce light depicting an image or information. The electrodes may be biased at or below screen potential, with the electrode closest the electron gun typically biased at a negative or ground potential and the electrode closest the faceplate (i.e. distal the electron gun) typically biased below screen potential to direct electrons towards the faceplate, thereby to increase the landing angle thereof.

Abstract: A color display system comprises a radiation generator in which the intensity of at least four wavelength bands can be controlled to reproduce a desired color. The system includes an intensity modulator that generates a multiplicity of modulation control signals each corresponding to a respectively different one of the wavelength bands. A multi-wavelength radiation source provides a plurality of narrow-band radiation signals, each corresponding to a respectively different one of the wavelength bands. The radiation source is responsive to the control signals to control the intensity of each of the narrow-band radiation signals to provide a plurality of modulated narrow-band radiation signals. The plurality of narrow-band radiation signals are combined to reproduce the desired color.

Abstract: An electron optical column apparatus, including a source of electrons, is operable in either a setup or a probe mode. In the setup mode, the electron source is magnified in an image plane for examination of the source by a Faraday cup prior to operation of the column in the probe mode. In the probe mode, the electron source is demagnified on an object surface, for example, for recording video signals on a record medium.
