Abstract: Disclosed is a wire-type corona charger having a wire electrode disposed between ground electrode plates. The wire electrode is supported by the ends of the plurality of wire electrode supporters which are so arranged that their ends have a curvature equal to arcuately-shaped upper edge of the ground electrode plates. The curvature coincides with one of the curvatures of the horizontal axis and the vertical axis of the interior surface of the panel faceplate, while the charger is pivoted along the other curvature of the faceplate. The charger can uniformly charge the photoconductive layer and improves the charging efficiency.

Abstract: A method for evaluating whether a material will allow bacteria to pass through the material comprising providing bacteria which are modified to produce a first detectable signal, placing the bacteria on a first side of the material being evaluated, and determining whether the first signal is present on a second side of the material. A method for the evaluation of a material to determine whether the material is susceptible to bacterial contamination or colonization comprising providing bacteria which are modified to produce a first detectable signal, exposing the material being evaluated to the bacteria and determining whether the first signal is present on the material.

Abstract: An integrated emission microscope with an emitted radiation detection system for collecting and analyzing radiation from a device under test. A semi-ellipsoidal mirror of high ellipticity directs emitted radiation from the device under test through an aperture to a radiation guide, Which transmits the radiation to spectral analyzer. The device under test may be mounted on a scanning stage. The system permits high spatial resolution selected area spectroscopic analysis, panchromatic imaging, and spectroscopic mapping of the emitted radiation from the device under test.

Abstract: A superimpose control device which enables a superimpose function even in a VTR mode, by using a phase convening circuit for synchronizing the phase of a sub-carrier signal with the color burst signal of an applied video signal.
