Abstract: A process is disclosed for controlling a plurality of magnetrons of a thermal processing tunnel in accordance with a preconfigured magnetron actuation scheme. In some implementations, the process can include the steps of: receiving an identifier indicating a predefined packaged food product configuration; based on the identifier, obtaining a preconfigured magnetron actuation scheme that is preconfigured based on at least one characteristic of the predefined packaged food product configuration, wherein the preconfigured magnetron actuation scheme is preconfigured to cause at least one of the plurality of magnetrons to have a different execution characteristic than at least one other magnetron of the plurality of magnetrons; and transmitting at least one instruction in accordance with the preconfigured magnetron actuation scheme to a signal controller that drives the plurality of magnetrons, thereby causing the plurality of magnetrons to execute in accordance with the preconfigured magnetron actuation scheme.

Abstract: A field emission display includes an insulating layer and an emitting layer disposed on the faceplate. A vacuum chamber is disposed between a backplane and the emitting layer and contains a getter. Apertures are defined through the insulating layer and the emitting layer for communicating contaminates from the faceplate to the vacuum chamber.

Abstract: An image display faceplate having a plurality of recesses (dimples) formed therein for receiving discrete phosphor droplets and having a conformal metallization layer disposed thereon is provided. The phosphor system so described may be dispensed onto the faceplate without the need for multiple sequential depositions, maskings, and material removals and provides for a single step deposition of dis-similar phosphor materials of which the phosphor system is comprised.

Abstract: An enclosure providing an evacuated region about an array of microelectronic vacuum devices including a substrate, a first encapsulation member defining a cavity, a second encapsulation member defining a cavity and mating with the first encapsulation member so as to define an encapsulated region, a ledge formed in the first encapsulation member for supporting the substrate and defining a communicating passage between the cavities and a sealing agent disposed between the mating surfaces of the encapsulation members to effect a vacuum seal such that when the encapsulated region is evacuated it will be at the same vacuum levels throughout to eliminate differential pressure induced deformation of the substrate. The evacuated substrate enclosure further provides for assembly without an evacuated environment.
