Patent number: 4887009Abstract: A color display system includes a cathode-ray tube and yoke. The yoke is a self-converging type that produces an astigmatic magnetic deflection field within the tube. The cathode-ray tube has an electron gun for generating and directing three electron beams along paths toward a screen of the tube. The electron gun includes electrodes that comprise a beam-forming region and electrodes that form a main focusing lens, and features electrodes for forming a multipole lens between the beam-forming region and the main focusing lens in each of the electron beam paths. Each multipole lens is oriented to provide a correction to an associated electron beam to at least partially compensate for the effect of the astigmatic magnetic field on the associated beam. There are two multipole lens electrodes.Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 1986Date of Patent: December 12, 1989Assignee: RCA Licensing CorporationInventors: Stanley Bloom, Eric F. Hockings

Patent number: 4514658Abstract: The novel CRT is similar in structure to prior art CRT's except for the color-selection structure, which, as in the prior CRT's is for producing a plurality of lenses for passing and focusing portions of electron beams to associated color groups of the target. In the novel CRT, the color-selection structure comprises at least one lenticular member having therein an array of windows associated with only one color group, each window having a half-width, r, and a conductive mesh having interstitial dimensions small compared to the phosphor elements in the color groups. The lenticular member is longitudinally spaced a distance, s, from the conductive mesh so that the ratio of the longitudinal spacing, s, to the half-width, r, of the window is much less than unity (s/r<<1), so that the lenticular member and the conductive mesh provide a strong lens action.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 1983Date of Patent: April 30, 1985Assignee: RCA CorporationInventor: Stanley Bloom

Patent number: 4470822Abstract: The novel method of fabricating a color-selection electrode for a cathode-ray tube comprises a combination of step including providing substantially orthogonal sets of support members which cross at a multiplicity of locations to form an apertured array. At least one of the sets of support members are insulators. The method includes coating the array with a continuously conductive metal film except at the multiplicity of crossings and providing electrical terminals for each of the sets of coated members. A structure utilizing the novel method is also described.Type: GrantFiled: February 25, 1983Date of Patent: September 11, 1984Assignee: RCA CorporationInventors: Stanley Bloom, Eric F. Hockings

Patent number: 4464601Abstract: CRT employs a quadrupolar-focusing color-selection structure comprising two or more apertured masking plates. Each plate has therein an array of substantially rectangular apertures which are positioned relative to one another to produce electrostatic quadrupolar-focusing lenses when operating voltages are applied thereto. The color-selection structure may, by its geometry, provide at the same time electrostatic dipolar deflecting fields when operating voltages are applied.Type: GrantFiled: August 11, 1982Date of Patent: August 7, 1984Assignee: RCA CorporationInventor: Stanley Bloom

Patent number: 4408407Abstract: The panel sign includes one post in the case of a "flag" type sign and two posts for a panel sign supported at opposite ends, together with a generally rectangular panel member. Each post constitutes an extruded member having an elongated vertical slot communicating with a hollow interior. The panel has an edge flange of T-shape receivable in the slot for lateral support by the post. An extruded filler element in turn has a forward portion arranged to fill the slot when the element is inserted in the hollow interior of the post. This element is cut to a length corresponding to the position of the lower end of the panel edge flange and the bottom of the post so that when inserted in the post, it serves to finish off the appearance of the post; that is, it renders the remaining slot portions substantially invisible. A small additional filler element is receivable in the top portion of the post to fill a top exposed portion of the slot where the edge flange of the panel falls below the top of the post.Type: GrantFiled: June 4, 1982Date of Patent: October 11, 1983Assignee: Architectural Signing, Inc.Inventors: Hanley D. Bloom, Stanley Bloom, Fred E. Perry, Sam Leone

Patent number: 4028582Abstract: An evacuated envelope has a rectangular display section and a gun section at one edge of the display section. The display section includes front and back walls which are generally rectangular, in closely spaced, parallel relation, and a plurality of spaced, parallel support walls between the front and back walls forming a plurality of parallel channels. The gun section extends across one end of the channels and includes therein gun structure which will direct electrons into the channels. In each of the channels is a beam guide which confines the electrons in a beam and guides the beam along the length of the channel. The beam guide also includes means for selectively deflecting the electron beam out of the guide at selective points along the guide so that beam will impinge upon a phosphor screen along the inner surface of the front wall.Type: GrantFiled: September 22, 1975Date of Patent: June 7, 1977Assignee: RCA CorporationInventors: Charles Hammond Anderson, Stanley Bloom

Patent number: 3971371Abstract: The pad comprises a sheet of flexible insulating material carrying an array of conductive sensor strips on one surface. On the opposite surface of the insulating sheet are provided four conductive pickup strips, two at each end. One pickup strip at each end is connected through the sheet by metallic staples to the odd-numbered sensor strips, and the other two pickup strips are connected by staples to the even-numbered sensor strips. Thus, two sets of sensor strips are provided, and two connections are made to each strip in each set, and these connections are used to couple the pad into an alarm circuit.In a second arrangement, conductive tapes are used to connect together sensor strips and pickup strips.In use, the moisture being sensed makes an electrical connection between the two sets of sensing strips, thus activating the alarm circuit.Type: GrantFiled: May 27, 1975Date of Patent: July 27, 1976Inventor: Stanley Bloom
