Abstract: The present invention relates to an image processing method intended for correcting the distortions created by the instability of the high-voltage supply circuit in a cathode-ray tube display device. The corrections are made to the video content of the images to be displayed. They consist in characterizing the image distortions created by the high-voltage supply circuit of the cathode-ray tube, then in determining, for each of the images to be displayed, the distortions affecting them, and finally in generating precorrected images having the reverse distortions. According to the invention, to characterize the distortions created by the high-voltage supply circuit, a model capable of delivering, as a function of the video signal of the images to be displayed, a signal representative of the variations in the output voltage of the high-voltage supply circuit while these images are being displayed.

Abstract: The invention relates to a multiwinding coil intended to serve as a deflection coil for a cathode ray tube. It is provided that on and/or between the winding wires an element made of polymeric material or a mixture of polymers situated within a delimited area of the coil. This enables “ringing” phenomena to be reduced.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of processing video images which is intended to correct the distortions created by the instability of the high voltage circuit of the cathode ray tube display device during the displaying of the images. It is more particularly intended for correcting the global zoom and the local zoom affecting the images displayed by the cathode ray tube device.

Abstract: A converter for an electric motor or transformer, the converter being comprising a connection box having passages for electrical conductors and having a semiconductor electronic module removably fixed to the connection box. The electronic module has a radiator-forming box that is open at one end, at least one electronic card at least partially embedded in a resin cast inside said radiator-forming box, and at least one connector emerging from the resin. The opening of the radiator-forming box enables it to be fitted to the connection box. The connection box has at least one window giving access to the connector(s) of the electronic module.
