Abstract: In a method of measuring electron beam profile in an electronic display device, a matrix of video dots is displayed on a display screen of the electronic display device, each of the video dots being comprised of a group of phosphor dots illuminated by an electron beam. An image of a plurality of groups of illuminated phosphor dots forming the video dots within a field of view is then taken. The average horizontal and vertical distances of the video dots within the filed of view is determined and the groups of illuminated phosphor dots forming the video dots in the field of view that are captured in the image are superimposed based on the average horizontal and vertical distances of the video dots generally to average and fill in discontinuities between phosphor dots in the groups and thereby generate an overlay image of the electron beam. Cross-sections of the overlay image can be approximated and at least one intensity profile of the electron beam calculated.

Abstract: An energy expenditure garment includes at least one elastic ring section secured to the base fabric of the garment. The elastic ring section is made of a material which applies a greater longitudinal resistance force to the body of the wearer than the material of the base fabric. The base fabric is located longitudinally outwardly of the ring section so that there are alternating regions of differing longitudinal resistive characteristics.

Abstract: A roof mounting assembly includes rows of pans mounted to the understructure of a roof by hooking the pans around support tracks. Rows of roofing panels are mounted over the respective rows of pans with adjacent roofing panels generally abutting each other to create a joint located above the central area of an underlying pan so that the pan acts as a barrier to prevent rain water and the like from flowing through the joint and directly to the understructure. By using underlying pans to prevent leakage, it is possible to minimize the amount of panel overlapping. The panels are preferably mounted to the tracks by separate hook members. The upper end of each panel is between and against an overlying panel and an underlying track.
