Abstract: A honeycomb panel manufacturing system and method comprises expansion tables, a curing chamber, adhesive application table, and a pressing station for bonding face sheets to honeycomb panels. The method of manufacture comprises expanding honeycomb material, curing expanded panels, and pressing face sheets onto opposite sides of cured panels.

Abstract: There is disclosed an improved gaseous discharge display panel device and process of manufacturing same. A large number of cathode substrate electrode and mask structures are printed and fired on a single glass sheet, the electrodes being printed first and dried/cured at a higher temperature than subsequently applied mask and electrical crossovers, which are cured at lower temperatures. Upon completion of fabrication of the electrode and dielectric mask structures and crossover connections, the glass plate is simply scored and separated to provide individual back substrate and electrode mask structures which are then assembled with a like formed annode plate structure. Individual devices are then assembled with use of a seal rod preformed to have a gap in the seal structure and a laser facturable mercury dispensing giver.

Abstract: There is disclosed an improved gas discharge display panel device and process of manufacturing same of the type wherein non-conductive thin glass support substrates for anode and cathode electrodes are joined together by a sealant in a spaced-apart assembly. Printed conductors connected to the anode and cathode electrodes extend through the seal area on the respective anode and cathode substrates, which conductors are dielectric coated extensions of the conductive material constituting the electrode. A conductive silver epoxy is extruded between the plates at each point where a conductor passes through the seal and a solid metallic conductor element is inserted in the conductive silver epoxy at each place on anode or cathode lead exits from the seal area.

Abstract: There is disclosed an improved gaseous discharge display panel device and process of manufacturing same. A cathode electrode, and mask structures are printed and fired on a glass substrate, the electrodes being printed first. Upon completion of fabrication of the electrode and dielectric mask structures, they are assembled with like formed anode plate structure. Individual devices are then assembled with use of a frit seal incorporating spacer spheres. In forming the devices, fusion of the seal material may be done in an environment of the fill gas or the gas may be processed through a small gap left in the seal structure and, the gap is closed with a short gob of sealing glass after outgasingand gas filling are performed.

Abstract: There is disclosed a voltage supply system for a gas discharge display panel where the operating signal voltages for such panels is derived from a low amplitude signal voltage source which source must be protected from high voltage transients. In accordance with the invention, a voltage stabilization circuit in the voltage system incorporates means for integrating the leading edge of the applied D.C. power supply voltage to prevent damage to the operating components of the low amplitude signal voltage source system.

Abstract: There is disclosed an improved gaseous discharge display device having segmented electrodes, typically cathode electrodes, shaped in the form of segments of characters to be displayed, a viewing plate carrying an opposing electrode, typically an anode electrode, there being one such anode electrode for each character position to be displayed and a seal sealing the electrodes and a gaseous medium at glow discharge pressure therein. The cathode electrodes are a sputter resistant material selected from the group consisting of silicon carbide, tungsten boride, chromium boride, molybdenum boride and molybdenum disilicide, these sputter resistant materials being in powder form deposited upon the dielectric substrate to form at least some of the electrodes and in a preferred form, the sputter resistant material is applied as a coating to conventional precious metal electrodes such as silver.
