  • Publication number: 20190331422
    Abstract: A metal oxide barrier and a connecting method for solving the problems in which sectors of an existing cold crucible are connected by means of a mica plate and the mica plate is damaged due to arcing and the like and in which the sectors are strongly connected by means of the mica plate and thus are difficult to replace and maintain. A cold crucible, comprising a metal oxide barrier, according to the present invention can prevent arcing, enables reduction of damage on the edge part of a water cooling sector due to a molten material and thus enhances durability. Moreover, the metal oxide barrier can easily be replaced compared to an existing mica plate and thus enables easy maintenance and repair.

  • Patent number: 6414723
    Abstract: A double/multi window processing apparatus for a TV system is disclosed. The apparatus has a first luminance/chrominance separation unit for separating a luminance signal Ym and chrominance signal Cm from the combined image signals of the main image outputted from the intermediate frequency processing unit. A second luminance/chrominance separation unit separates the luminance and chrominance components from the combined image signals CVBS1 and CVBS2 of the main image and a sub-image outputted from the intermediate frequency processing unit and coincides the same. The second luminance/chrominance separation unit combines the synchronous-coincided luminance and chrominance signals and generates double window luminance Yp and chrominance Cp signals. A luminance/chrominance switching unit switches the luminance Yp and chrominance Cp signals of the first and second luminance/chrominance separation units and outputs one luminance Y and chrominance signal.
