Abstract: A terminal of the vertical deflection coil is connected to an integrating circuit, which generates a saw-tooth signal from the vertical deflection current for vertical synchronization. The saw-tooth signal is supplied to the clipping circuit having a diode so as to clip its waveform. The clipped signal and said parabolic signal are summed by an adding means in order to generate a correction signal. The correction signal is amplified with an amplifying transistors and supplied to the primary winding of the transformer, the secondary winding of which is serially connected to the horizontal deflection coil. The waveform of the signal that is summed up, is similar to the form of the pin cushion distortion indicated on the raster of a non-spherical CRT. Therefore, the correction singal modulates the amplitude of a current flowing through the horizontal deflection coil, so that the pin cushion distortion can be corrected on the luster.

Abstract: A dually photosensitive composition useful as a photoresist in the manufacture of ICs and the like electronic devices, which is positively photosensitive by exposure to ultraviolet in a relatively small dose but negatively photosensitive by exposure to ultraviolet in a substantially larger dose than above or by exposure to far ultraviolet light, is obtained by admixing a positive-type photoresist material comprising a novolac resin and an o-naphthoquinone diazide compound with a bisazide compound such as 4,4'-diazidodiphenyl sulfide. The inventive photosensitive composition provides a possibility of developing an ingenious technique for patterning of a photoresist layer on the substrate such as a checkboard-like patterned layer by use of a photomask of a line-and-space pattern.

Abstract: A composite cylinder head of an internal-combustion engine includes a bottom wall part to face the combustion chamber and a reinforcement part disposed on the side of the bottom wall part opposite to the combustion chamber and functioning as a back-up reinforcement of the bottom wall part. The two parts of the cylinder head are joined into a single integral structure. The bottom wall part is formed from a metal of higher high-temperature strength and lower thermal conductivity than those of the material of the reinforcement part. This cylinder head makes possible the use of a higher maximum pressure within the cylinder than that in the case of a conventional cylinder head.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for upgrading low rank coal, wherein the sealing efficiency between the inside and the outside of a system and between the successive stages of apparatus is improved. Such improvement is provided between a drying apparatus for drying low rank coal into dried coal and a carbonizing apparatus for carbonizing the dried coal into carbonized coal and between the carbonizing apparatus and a cooling/adsorbing apparatus for cooling said carbonized coal and the cooled carbonized coal is caused to absorb therein a tar produced from the carbonization of the dried coal to thereby provide improved coal. In this method and apparatus inflow of an outside atmosphere from the outside into the inside of the system and mixing of gases between said successive stages of apparatus is restrained so that low rank coal is able to be favorably and consecutively upgraded regardless of operating pressures of the respective stages of apparatus.
