Abstract: A method of driving on a movable piece material over a drive-on path, comprising the steps of providing a drive-on position of the piece material inside a drive-on region, computing control data sets preliminarily in a first computation step, providing in the control data set a travel set which describes the drive-on path at the drive-on position, starting the first computation step for the travel set from a fixed drive-on position of the piece material, optimizing the travel set to the first fixed position of the piece material with respect to the drive-on speed, determining, directly before a start of a drive-on movement in accordance with the travel set, an actual drive-on position of the piece material, performing a second computation step which a corresponding actual travel set changed depending on the determined actual drive-on position of the piece material so that the drive-on path is changed in direction of the actual drive-on position, and performing a drive-on movement by working off of the travel

Abstract: A self-converging color television display system utilizes a saddle-toroid deflection yoke. The length of the horizontal coil conductors adjacent the flared picture tube portion is limited to reduce stored energy. The length of the core also is limited and disposed longitudinally between the end turns of the horizontal saddle coils at a position to mitigate convergence trilemma as well as North-South pincushion distortion.

Abstract: A self-converging deflection yoke having toroidally-wound vertical deflection coils incorporates a pair of magnetically permeable field formers mounted on either side of the yoke. The field formers shunt a portion of the external field flux to the vicinity of the electron gun assembly where they form a pincushion-shaped field which aids in vertical coma correction. In one embodiment, a yoke comprising planar-wound vertical coils incorporates both coma-correcting rear field formers and a pair of front crossarm assemblies for providing side-pincushion correction. The resultant yoke provides covergence of electron beams free of coma and side-pincushion distortion with reduced sensitivity to transverse motion. In another embodiment, similar results are obtained without the front crossarms by vertical deflection coil having a nonradial winding configuration.

Abstract: In a television receiver comprising a display system incorporating a kinescope having horizontal in-line electron beams and also incorporating a deflection yoke having toroidally-wound vertical deflection coils, where the kinescope utilizes a magnetically-permeable G3 focussing electrode in the electron guns to reduce deflection defocussing, an arrangement for correcting misconvergence of the electron beams caused by the magnetically-permeable G3 electrode comprises a pair of magnetically-permeable field formers disposed along and extending toward the rear of the yoke. The field formers are configured to collect a portion of the external fields generated by the vertical windings and direct those portions through the kinescope neck substantially at right angles to the electron beams in the vicinity of the exit end of the electron guns with a barrel-shaped transverse pattern.

Abstract: A television display arrangement includes a kinescope comprising a viewing screen, an in-line electron beam gun assembly for producing a plurality of electron beams and an envelope defining a neck, at one end of which the electron gun assembly is mounted. A deflection yoke is associated with the kinescope for producing astigmatic deflection fields for substantially converging the beams at all points on the viewing screen. The astigmatic fields have balanced nonuniformity functions with low peak excursions for reducing the sensitivity of the beam convergence to the position of the yoke relative to the electron beams, by which relative movement between the yoke and the kinescope does not substantially affect the convergence.

Abstract: The articulated mountings for vehicle seats includes two hinged parts, one part being formed with a spur gear and the other part with a geared rim of larger diameter and engaging the teeth of the spur gear. The gear rim is mounted for rotation on a pivot axle. The axle supports for joint rotation an eccentric disk which in turn supports for rotation the spur gear. To eliminate backlash in the bearing surfaces and in the meshing teeth of the gears, the eccentric disk is coupled to the pivot axle on a non-circular coupling section which engages two opposite sides of the eccentric recess in the eccentric disk but permits radial displacement of the latter. A setting mechanism preferably in the form of a resilient cushion or in the form of a biasing spring keeps the eccentric disk in its eccentric position.

Abstract: A color picture reproducing tube utilizes three coplanar electron beams. Convergence of the three beams along at least one axis is accomplished by a deflection assembly producing a magnetic deflection field with particular astigmatism characteristics which also elliptically distorts each of the three beams in a first direction. The electron gun assembly within the picture tube includes apertured electrodes which predistort the beams elliptically in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction of distortion.
