Abstract: A clothes washing machine includes a water container, a spin-drying basket disposed in the container, and an oscillatory agitator disposed at the bottom of the basket. A plurality of upright water passages are formed in a vertical wall of the basket for conducting an upward flow of water generated by the agitator. Each passage includes vertically spaced first and second water outlets disposed above a water level in the basket. The second outlet is disposed below the upper outlet and has a lint filter. A third water outlet is formed in each passage and is disposed below the water level.

Abstract: A color picture tube is provided with a residue electron removing assembly. The residue electron removing assembly includes a contact spring which is installed between a stud pin and a hook spring connected to a frame. Opposite ends of the contact spring resiliently contact an aluminum layer of a panel and a graphite layer of a funnel, respectively. Assembly supporting pieces and embossing portions on the contact spring grasp the hook spring to support it. With this structure, residue electrons which collide with a shadow mask are discharged through the frame and the hook spring, while residue electrons which collide with a phosphor layer after passing through the shadow mask are discharged through the aluminum layer to the contact spring to the graphite layer and eventually to the outside of the picture tube.

Abstract: A surge preventing circuit for an electromagnetic induction cooker comprising a heating plate temperature sensor, an upper plate temperature sensor, a collector voltage limiting circuit, an abnormal condition sensor, a gate circuit, a minimum turn-on time setting unit, and a minimum turn-on time output controller.The surge preventing operation is carried out by applying a detection signal to a microcomputer when the temperature of the heating plate and the upper plate rises excessively or when the collector voltage of the power transistor is greater than a rated value and cutting off an output voltage of an integrator to be applied to a charge/discharge unit, an then when the output voltage of the charge/discharge unit is lower than a rated value, cutting off the driving of an inverter circuit, thereby preventing a large surge voltage from generating at the inverter circuit.
