  • Patent number: 9498071
    Abstract: A harness system comprised of a harness assembly having adjustable shoulder and waist straps connected therewith secured at two points of engagement to an anchoring assembly permanently anchored to a baby carrier. A padding member is attached to the shoulder strap of the harness assembly extending over either side of the user's shoulder. The adjustability of the present invention provides a system that accommodates users of various sizes. The anchoring assembly is comprised of a plurality of washers, a plurality of anchoring straps, and at least one spacer secured to a carrier bar of the carrier by a fastener and a lock nut. Two anchoring straps on each side of the carrier allow the harness assembly to be releasably anchored to either side of the anchoring assembly depending upon the user's preference. Once the harness assembly is connected to the carrier, the user may carry the carrier “hands-free.

  • Patent number: 4283655
    Abstract: A cathode-ray tube for a multipurpose test and measurement or information display instrument is provided with multiple internal graticules. One of the graticules is permanently visible and functional at all times the instrument is in operation. Another of the graticules is formed in a manner such that it is not easily visible in normal ambient lighting conditions alone, but becomes plainly visible when edge lighted by suitable means.

  • Patent number: 4131821
    Abstract: An admixture of yttrium oxide, or yttrium oxysulfide, or yttrium oxide or yttrium oxysulfide activated by a rare earth element and P1 phosphor having metal oxide particles adhered or bonded at random locations on the surfaces of the P1 phosphor particles provides a viewable bistable storage target for cathode ray tubes having increased operating life.

  • Patent number: 3982150
    Abstract: The present invention relates generally to charge image storage tubes having a direct viewing storage target including a storage dielectric of phosphor material capable of bistable storage of a charge image and which emits a light image corresponding to such charge image, and in particular to an improved storage dielectric of phosphor particles coated with smaller particles of a high secondary electron emissive material bonded to such phosphor particles and to a method of manufacture thereof. A small amount of secondary emissive material is employed efficiently to increase the writing speed and useful lifetime of the storage dielectric without greatly decreasing the brightness of the light image emitted by the phosphor. In one embodiment using 3.5 per cent of magnesium oxide secondary emissive material with 96.5 per cent of manganese activated zinc orthosilicate phosphor material, a writing speed of 400,000 centimeters per second and a light image brightness of 3.5 foot-lamberts was obtained.
