Abstract: A method of fabricating an electrode of a color picture tube electron gun, the electrode having an aperture for passing an electron beam and having a recess formed in a surface of a single metal plate, comprises the steps of forming in the metal plate a laterally elongated through hole being substantially symmetrical with the axis of the electron beam pass aperture and having a major diameter in a longitudinal direction of the recess, before the recess is formed, forming the recess at a peripheral wall area of the laterally elongated through hole through a coining process, and forming the electron beam pass aperture by removing a wall portion of the through hole existing after completion of the coining process to form a through hole of a predetermined shape.

Abstract: A microwave transmit/receive terminal having an antenna and associated feed for receiving vertically and horizontally polarized signals and for transmitting a horizontally polarized signal employs a diplexer to be inserted between the feed and an orthomode coupler. The diplexer is formed of a cylindrical waveguide main body, a first port of which is coupled to the feed for receiving the orthogonally polarized receive signals and for coupling thereto the (horizontally polarized) transmit signal. A second port of the main body is coupled to the orthomode coupler for receiving the horizontally polarized signal to be transmitted and for coupling thereto the vertically polarized receive signals. A rectangular waveguide section is coupled to the cylindrical waveguide main body and forms a third port for coupling the horizontally polarized received signal away from said cylindrical waveguide main body.

Abstract: The present invention provides a surface mount Gull-Wing type resin-encapsulating package for encapsulating a semiconductor chip, wherein the cut face (outer tip end) of each outer lead is formed to have a smaller cross-sectional area than that of each outer lead, for improving the extension of solder to the cut face of that lead. Such relatively smaller cross-sectional area of the outer tip end of each outer lead reduces the exposed area of the lead material when disconnecting the leads from the frame in separating the device from the frame.

Abstract: In a photoelectric device, particularly, a photoelectric device for optical communication, an optical fiber is fixed at two fixing points so that the extremity of the optical fiber is disposed opposite to the light emitting surface of a laser diode chip and the optical fiber extends in a nonlinear shape, for example, in a moderate curve, between the two fixing points. Even though holding members fixedly holding the optical fiber at the two fixing points and a base member supporting the holding members are formed of a metal or metals having a coefficient of thermal expansion far greater than that of the optical fiber, and even if the distance between the two fixing points is varied due to the thermal expansion or contraction of the holding members and the base member, the optical fiber is obliged only to change the shape of extension.

Abstract: An optical disc consists of a base plate, a reflective thin layer and a protective thin layer. As the base plate, polymethylmethacrylate is used. Since defects in the protective thin layer are a function of defects in the base plate, in order to reduce defects in the protective thin layer, defects in the base plate are reduced. For reducing defects in the base plate, a copolymer of methyl methacrylate and methyl acrylate is used.

Furthermore, since a brush changing device is provided, the cleaning brush can be at need replaced by fresh one so that a further number of heat exchanger tubes can be cleaned.

Abstract: A vertical deflection circuit used in a cathode ray tube display device for shortening a vertical blanking period is disclosed which includes back-flow blocking diode means for preventing an oscillating current from flowing backward to a vertical push-pull output amplifier circuit in the vertical blanking period, resonating capacitor means, and electrostatic energy supplying means for energizing a fly-back pulse. The resonating capacitor means is provided to generate resonance due to the capacitance of the capacitor means and the inductance of a vertical deflection coil, on the basis of the electro-magnetic energy of the vertical deflection coil at a time immediately before a retrace line starts from the bottom of display screen, thereby producing a fly-back pulse. The back-flow blocking diode means prevents the fly-back pulse from flowing backward to the vertical output circuit, that is, prevents the fly-back pulse from de-energizing the output of the vertical output circuit.
