  • Patent number: 9598656
    Abstract: A method for producing a briquetted solid fuel includes pulverizing a low-rank coal. The pulverized low-rank coal is mixed with a solvent oil to give a slurry. The slurry is heated and dewatered to give a dewatered slurry. The solvent oil is separated from the dewatered slurry to give a cake. The cake is heated to further separate the solvent oil from the cake to thereby give a refined coal in powder form. The refined coal is combined with a property-controlling coal in powder form having, as properties, a loose bulk density of 0.6 kg/L or more and an angle of repose of 40° or less, to give a briquetting feedstock containing the property-controlling coal in an amount of 5 to 70 mass percent based on the total mass of the briquetting feedstock. The briquetting feedstock is briquetted under pressure to give the briquetted solid fuel in briquette form.

  • Patent number: 4764706
    Abstract: A flat CRT having a phosphor screen inclined with respect to the center axis of an electron beam and formed by applying phosphors to the inner surface of a tube wall. The tube inner surface is defined by rotating a plurality of logarithmic spiral curves having a constant angle of incidence and present in the x-y plane of a polar coordinate system in which the deflection center of the electron beam is its origin, the center axis extends through the origin and serves as the x-axis, and the y-axis extends through the origin and intersects the x-axis at right angles therewith. The spiral curves are rotated about the y-axis each through a specified angle to obtain a group of logarithmic curves defining the tube inner surface.

  • Patent number: 4720655
    Abstract: A flat color CRT having a phosphor screen comprises red, green and, blue primary phosphor color stripes arranged at a spacing, and phosphor index stripes arranged in some of the spaces between the phosphor color stripes in a definite relation thereto. A black nonluminescent substance is provided between the phosphor index stripes and positioned at least in the spaces between the phosphor color stripes, and a metallic layer of sufficient thickness formed on the inner side of a tube panel and positioned in a corresponding relationship to the phosphor color stripes.

  • Patent number: 4654559
    Abstract: A flat color CRT wherein a single beam emitted from an electron gun scans the inner surface of a tube wall and which includes a phosphor screen formed on the walls inner surface. The phosphor screen comprises a nonluminescent substance and phosphor index stripes with the substance interposed between the stripes. Red, green, blue primary phosphor color stripes have a sufficient thickness and are arranged repeatedly on the nonluminescent substance at a spacing in a definite relation to the phosphor index stripes.
