Patent number: 6870331Abstract: In a cathode ray tube, plural electron beams are directed towards a faceplate biased at screen potential and are magnetically scanned by a non-self-converging deflection yoke across the faceplate to impinge upon phosphors thereon to produce light depicting an image. The plural electron beams are substantially converged near two opposing edges of the faceplate. A processor changes the raster of the image from a first raster corresponding to position of the image to a second raster corresponding to the position of the plural electron beams on the faceplate. One or more electrodes between the tube neck and the faceplate are biased above and/or below screen potential to deflect electrons landing near the periphery of the faceplate.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 2001Date of Patent: March 22, 2005Assignees: Sarnoff Corporation, Orion Electric Company, LTDInventors: Dennis J.

Publication number: 20050018298Abstract: The invention is a method and apparatus for generating terahertz radiation. The terahertz source is a versatile terahertz device that can be configured to transmit a plurality of wavelengths, thereby facilitating the detection of multiple contaminants using a single source device. In one embodiment, the Smith-Purcell radiation effect is exploited by passing an electron beam over a modulated conducting surface, wherein the spacing of the periods of the modulated surface is varied. The variations in the modulated surface enable the source to produce light of varying wavelengths.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 14, 2004Publication date: January 27, 2005Inventors: Seth Trotz, David New, Alan Braun
