  • Patent number: 6008908
    Abstract: A telephone line interface section, which has a selector switch for selectively connecting two of a facsimile section, a telephone line and an information unit such as a personal computer, is provided. The telephone line interface section is provided with a telephone line monitor which detects an ON/OFF state of a start switch for directing the facsimile section to be operated and detects existence or non-existence of a DC loop current which is a connecting signal at the time when the facsimile section is connected to an external telephone switchboard via the telephone line. The selector switch connects the facsimile section to the information unit based upon the telephone line monitor when the start switch is in the ON state and the connecting signal is not detected. As a result, in the case where the facsimile section is used as a scanner and printer of the information unit, the facsimile section can be simply connected to the information unit.

  • Patent number: 5932959
    Abstract: A deflection yoke for a cathode ray tube can correct both the pincushion distortion at the upper and lower edges of the screen and the misconvergence of the screen at the same time by the deflection yoke itself without the need for a correction magnet. The deflection yoke comprises a saddle shaped horizontal deflection coil, a saddle shaped vertical deflection coil located outside the horizontal deflection coil, and a high permeability core located outside the vertical deflection coil. The core has notch portions at the center parts of the upper and lower portions of the screen side end.

  • Patent number: 5891604
    Abstract: The present invention aims to solve problems involved in the formation of a conductive or insulating layer in a pattern form by photolithography, i.e., an environmental problem associated with handling a solvent and a problem associated with wastewater treatment in the development with an aqueous alkaline solution. A method for forming a conductive layer (an anode bus 3) or an insulating layer (a barrier 1) on a glass substrate by photolithography using a photosensitive slurry solution prepared by mixing a low-melting glass powder as a binder and a conductive or insulating powder into a PVA-based, water-soluble photosensitive solution, wherein the content of B.sub.2 O.sub.3 component in the whole low-melting glass powder is closely regulated to not more than 6% by weight. This enables coating without gelation of PVA.

  • Patent number: 5859495
    Abstract: A deflection yoke which is capable of sufficiently reducing a high order raster distortion (gullwing) at the upper and lower edges of the screen without damaging coil wires of the screen side flange portion (5) at the time of winding the horizontal deflection coil (1). A deflection yoke is formed with a saddle shaped horizontal deflection coil (1), a saddle shaped vertical deflection coil (2) located outside the horizontal deflection coil (1), and a ferrite core (3) located outside the vertical deflection coil (2). The screen side cone portion (1a) of the horizontal deflection coil (1) is wound with a winding angle range from 1.degree. to 80.degree. with a higher winding distribution in the range from 18.degree. to 30.degree. with the horizontal axis as the standard. The head point in the direction of the screen side tube axis of the screen side cone portion (1a) of the horizontal deflection coil (1) is located 30 mm away from the screen side tip portion of the ferrite core (3).
