  • Patent number: 6646372
    Abstract: A deflection yoke having a capability of correcting a lateral inner pincushion distortion with a magnetic field generated by a deflecting coil itself is provided. The deflection yoke includes a saddle-type vertical deflecting coil including a screen side bend portion, a neck side bend portion and a cone portion connecting the screen side bend portion and the neck side bend portion and is installed to a cathode ray tube. When viewing the screen side bend portion of the vertical deflecting coil from a screen side of the cathode ray tube in a direction along the tube axis, a distance between the screen side bend portion and the tube axis is the minimum at a portion close to a diagonal direction of the screen. As a result, the lateral inner pincushion distortion can be corrected with a magnetic field generated by the deflecting coil itself with a simple configuration, without adding any component for correcting the distortion and increasing a deflecting power.

In such accelerators, superconducting coils are positioned around a non-magnetic beam tube with the magnetic coils designed to guide particles, such as protons, along the tube. Magnetic field non-uniformites in the form of multipoles (harmonics) will disrupt the beam guidance, causing particles to hit the tube walls and be lost, reducing accelerator efficiency. The negative effects of multipoles (harmonics) in such accelerators can be reduced or eliminated by positioning a selected number of pairs of carefully sized and dimensioned rods of magnetic material such as nickel or iron along the exterior of the beam tube or enclosing helium vessel near the magnet ends.

  • Patent number: 5182487
    Abstract: A deflection yoke device for deflecting an electron beam traveling in the interior of a CRT. The distribution of a magnetic field supplied by horizontal deflection coils to the interior of the CRT forms a barrel magnetic field on the panel side and the neck side, as viewed from the horizontal deflection coils, and a pin magnetic field in an intermediate space therebetween. The deflection yoke device of the invention is provided with a correction coil on the neck side, as viewed from the horizontal deflection coils so as to correct the neck-side magnetic field produced by the horizontal deflection coils into the barrel magnetic field of a greater intensity. The distortion of a beam focus caused by the pin magnetic field is thereby corrected.

  • Patent number: 5107238
    Abstract: Periodic permanent magnet (PPM) stacks for use in wigglers and traveling e tubes having magnetic cladding. A variable magnetic potential cladding along the adjacent surfaces of working magnets is used, thereby increasing the efficient use of magnetic material and increasing the magnetic field while minimizing weight. The magnetic cladding has a direction of polarity perpendicular to the direction of polarity of the working magnets. Extraneous magnetic fields are also reduced. A magnetic shunt, or soft iron, is used to facilitate the conduction of magnetic flux and create an equal magnetic potential exterior surface.

  • Patent number: 5079531
    Abstract: A deflection yoke arrangement with geometry correction includes horizontal and vertical deflection coils for scanning a raster pattern on a phosphor screen of a cathode ray tube. A support housing suitable for positioning about the neck of the cathode ray tube contains the coils and has a front rim formed with a plurality of slots near the outer periphery. A plurality of brackets formed from magnetically permeable material are located in corresponding ones of the slots. Each bracket comprises two flat end sections joined to opposite sides of a flat central part at substantially right angles thereto. One of the flat end sections of each bracket collects magnetic flux generated by the coils and channels the flux via the central part to the other end section. The plurality of brackets shape the deflection magnetic field in the region about the front rim to provide the geometry correction.

  • Patent number: 4939414
    Abstract: An improved picture sensitivity to the magnetic field produced by a field deflection coil (28) for an in-line gun shadow mask display tube is obtained by positioning magnetic field conducting elements (32, 34) within the envelope of the display tube in the central deflection area of the field produced by the field coil (28). By positioning the magnetic field conducting elements (32, 34) inside the envelope, the distances between the elements (32, 34) and the yoke ring (30) and between the elements (32, 34) and the field coil (28) are such that the unnecessary flux is significantly less compared to a known situation in which these elements are located between the line and field coils, thus improving the field deflection sensitivity.
