  • Patent number: 8282332
    Abstract: A conveying and lock system (10) for introducing a bulk material into a reactor (14) with exclusion of gas and while preventing gas exchange at low pressure differences has a screw shaft (44) on which first windings (46) and second windings (48) are formed. A winding-free section (50) is disposed between the first and the second windings (46, 48) in which the conveyed bulk material is compacted. The compacting causes a bulk material plug which is substantially gas free and, during bulk material transport, the bulk material plug is constantly formed in the conveying and lock system (10) by the screw shaft (44) to prevent gas exchange between the product inlet and the product outlet of the conveying and lock system.

  • Patent number: 7847136
    Abstract: Fractional hydrocarbons are recovered from reclaimed plastic materials and/or from oily residues. The reclaimed plastic materials and/or residues are sorted according to type and compacted using a feed system (1,2,3,4) in the absence of air. Thereafter the compacted mass is fed to a melting tank (7) below the liquid level. There the compacted mass is heated, so that a separation occurs into a first liquid phase, a first gas phase and a residue fraction. Thereafter the liquid phase and the first gas phase are transported into an evaporation tank (20) in which a second liquid phase and a second gas phase are formed under continued heat input. The second liquid phase is transferred to a re-heater (23) and is additionally heated there under further heat input so that a third gas phase is formed.

  • Patent number: 5069733
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing luminescent screens (2) for, e.g., color picture tubes is described. It uses a printing apparatus with heated printing blocks (3) and tampons (4). The printing inks (D) consist of a mixture of a hot-melt adhesive and the respective luminescent materials. The printing inks are printed from the printing blocks directly on the inside of the faceplate (1) of the color picture tube. It is also possible to first print a black matrix (M) of a ceramic glass color.

  • Patent number: 4806819
    Abstract: A shadow-mask color picture tube has a glass panel and glass funnel joined together via outwardly extending flange portions thereof. To mount a shadow mask in the picutre tube, holding plates are fastened between the flanges, preferably in internal recesses of the flanges, and each of the holding plates has a hole for a rivet which holds the mask and, in a preferred embodiment, an internal shield. The mask is preferably connected with the holding plates via bimetal elements.

  • Patent number: 4634922
    Abstract: A color picture tube comprising three electron-gun systems, in which on the shadow mask or a part connected thereto, phosphorescent marks are attached to the rear side thereof. These marks can be used for checking the exact position of the electron beams during adjustment. By suitably delaying the chrominance signals it is possible to improve the E-W convergence.

  • Patent number: 4449951
    Abstract: For the purpose of the exact position adjustment and mounting of the cathodes (3) in their supporting plates (4) outside the system of a TV-Picture tube electron gun, the fitting position of the supporting plate and the fitting positions of the cathodes in this supporting plate are transferred to the outside of the system with the aid of a measuring head comprising independently guided spacing jigs (8, 10) for transferring the fitting position instead of having to use a limit stop lying outside the system.

  • Patent number: 4285013
    Abstract: In a shadow-mask color-picture tube, adjustability of the deflection yoke on the tube is required. A ring is mounted around the front portion of the deflection yoke. The ring being supported by the yoke is free to move axially and can be swivelled. The ring is also lockable into a fixed position.

  • Patent number: 4022929
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method of aluminizing the inside of the panel of a television picture tube. When aluminizing the inside of the panel, blisters caused by the vaporizing lacquer, are likely to develop in the layer of aluminum, especially on the side walls of the panel portion. When taking care in accordance with the invention, that the coat of lacquer is roughened prior to the performance of the aluminizing process, these blisters are avoided.
