A lighting system incorporating the electron sources has an envelope with a transparent face, an anode with a phosphor layer to emit light through the face and a conductor layer. The system also has a power supply for providing from five to thirty thousand volts of power to the light emitting device to draw electrons from cathode to anode and excite a cathodoluminescent phosphor, and the electrons transiting from cathode to anode are essentially unfocused.

  • Patent number: 8749127
    Abstract: A device for lighting a room is described. The device has an envelope with a transparent face, the face having an interior surface coated with a cathodoluminescent screen and a thin, reflective, conductive, anode layer. There is a broad-beam electron gun mounted directly to feedthroughs in a base of the envelope with a heated, button-on-hairpin, cathode for emitting electrons in a broad beam towards the anode, and a power supply mounted on the feedthroughs at the base of the envelope that drives the cathode to a multi-kilovolt negative voltage. A two-prong snubber serves as an anode contact to permit the power supply to drive the anode to a voltage near ground. A method of manufacture of the anode uses a single step deposition and lacquering process followed by a metallization using a conical-spiral tungsten filament coated with aluminum by a thermal spray coating process.

    Abstract: A method of filtering a video signal comprised of a luminance component (Y) and two multiplexed chrominance components (U, V), a same filter architecture being used for forming a luminance signal and a chrominance signal, wherein for both the luminance component and two multiplexed chrominance components it holds that for horizontally filtering at least two non-zero filtering coefficients are used. Preferably, the filter architecture is a low-pass filter arranged to average neighboring pixel data with a weighting coefficient chosen such that the ratio between the sum of the even coefficients and the sum of the odd coefficients is 1:1. Thus the overall weighting of the two chrominance components will be equal. Alternatively, the filter architecture is a low-pass filter with horizontal chrominance weighting coefficients of 1,0,1. This allows processing for the luminance at the same time as allowing low-pass chrominance filtering in the horizontal direction.

  • Publication number: 20020036469
    Abstract: A secondary winding of a horizontal flyback transformer of a horizontal deflection circuit develops a horizontal retrace pulse voltage. A secondary winding of a second transformer is coupled in series with a vertical deflection coil of a vertical deflection circuit. An R-C filter is coupled between the secondary winding of the flyback transformer and a primary winding of the second transformer. Horizontal parallelogram errors are corrected by a horizontal rate current injected in a current path of the vertical deflection coils. The R-C filter prevents the vertical deflection current from being parasiticaly coupled to the horizontal deflection circuit.

  • Publication number: 20020021094
    Abstract: An optocoupler circuit comprises a pulse generator which supplies a pulsed signal to the light-emitting device, while the pulsed signal has at least two different levels of which at least one of the levels is controllable. The pulsed signal is a combination of an input pulse signal and an input level signal. The light-emitting device produces an amount of light which depends on the levels of the pulsed signal. The photosensitive device supplies an output signal which depends on the amount of light received from the light-emitting device. A separation circuit receives the output signal and separates an output pulse signal therefrom, indicating an occurrence of a pulse of the input pulse signal, and an output level signal corresponding to a value of the at least one controllable level and thus to the input level signal.

    Abstract: In an electron beam tube arrangement, such as an IOT amplifier, an input cavity surrounds an electron gun. The cavity includes parts which are at high and low relative electrical potentials. These are separated by RF chokes to provide dc isolation whilst acting as a short circuit to high frequency radiation coupled into the cavity. The arrangement also includes a bypass capacitor located behind the electron gun which short circuits stray or leakage radiation to prevent deterioration of the amplified signal. The bypass capacitor presents a distributed capacitance of low inductance. In one embodiment, the RF choke and bypass capacitor include insulating material defined by a common member on which metallization layers are deposited.
