  • Patent number: 6597352
    Abstract: A method and a device for filtered sync signals detection wherein a timing circuit is used to select the steep slope portion in one or both of the leading edge and the trailing edge of the sync signals; a voltage divider or feedback path to set a triggering point at the steep slope portion of the selected edge regardless the slope being positive or negative; and a triggerable device is used to generate new sync signals with the leading edge of each sync pulse starts at one triggering point and the trailing edge starts at another triggering point. Alternatively, a micro-controller is used to detect the polarity of the sync signals and accordingly provide a reference voltage in order to set the triggering point at the leading edge of the sync signals.

  • Patent number: 5218270
    Abstract: The object of the disclosure is a method and a coupling for decreasing the alternating current field produced by a cathode-ray tube in the environment. The said field or radiation is at least partly due to the capacitances (C1, C2) of the anode (A) with respect, on one hand, to the deflection coil (DY) and, on the other hand, to the ground. These capacitances produce, mainly because of the return pulse of the deflection coupling, a line rate noise voltage to the anode. According to the invention, a back-off voltage (U.sub.2) opposite to the noise voltage is fed to the anode (A) of the tube either directly or via a graphitizing (G). In cases where the same high-voltage transformer (TR) functions for both the high voltage of the anode and the horizontal deflection, the winding (L) of this transformer can also be used in generating the back-off voltage (U.sub.2). The back-off voltage can thus be coupled to the anode (A) via the high-voltage capacitor (C3) of the transformer.
