  • Patent number: 4890481
    Abstract: A system for measuring a foreign material in a liquid, includes a sampling section, vacuum deaerators, foreign material measuring sensors. The sampling section prepares a sample liquid containing various foreign materials having particles of different sizes and numbers and a calibration standard liquid containing particles of known sizes and numbers. The vacuum deaerators deaerate gases mixed in the sample and calibration standard liquids. The sensors detect the foreign materials in the deaerated liquids. These sensors are arranged in front of the deaerators, respectively.

  • Patent number: 4855200
    Abstract: A high contrast and brightness fluorescent screen of a color picture tube has a light absorbing layer in the form of fine dots or stripes provided for the inner surface of a panel of the tube on which the phosphor layer is formed, and a light reflection layer provided at an interface between the light absorbing layer and the phosphor layer. To manufacture the fluorescent screen, a photosensitive resin layer coated on an inner surface of the panel is exposed to light through a photomask mounted on outside of the panel to form a pattern. Nonluminous light absorbing substance is applied on the pattern to form the light absorbing layers.
