Abstract: A method for manufacturing a color cathode ray tube capable of surely applying a predetermined tension force to a shadow mask and preventing the generation of wrinkles and a manufacturing apparatus of the color cathode ray tube. The method includes applying a compression force to a mask frame formed in a frame shape in the direction in which a gap between at least a pair of facing sides is reduced; and welding and fixing a shadow mask to the upper surface of the mask frame with a tension force applied in the direction opposite to the compression force. In this method, a place to which the compression force is applied is the upper end of the external surface of the mask frame. Thus, a repulsion force in the direction in which a shadow mask is stretched can surely be obtained after the compression force is released, as compared with the case where the same level of compression force is applied to the lower end. Consequently, it is possible to prevent the deterioration of the tension force of the shadow mask.

Abstract: The invention provides a device for effectively decreasing the electric field irradiated from the front surface of a CRT display. This device cancels the leakage field composed of a deflection component and a high voltage ripple component irradiated in the front direction of the CRT by generating an inverse electric field composed of the deflection component and high voltage ripple component. The inverse electric field is obtained by detecting an alternating-current voltage irradiated in the anode portion of the CRT by capacitive coupling a detector to the anode, inverting and amplifying the detected voltage, and applying the inverted voltage to an inverse field generating means installed near the front surface of the CRT.

Abstract: A percutaneous absorption preparation for use in the administration of isosorbide dinitrate (ISDN) as a coronary vasodilator into the living body by percutaneous absorption, which has excellent adhesion to the skin and does not cause pain and damage to stratum corneum when peeled off, is disclosed.
