  • Patent number: 6126790
    Abstract: An electromagnet assembly magnetically orients a thin magnetic film deposited onto a surface of a substrate. The magnetic orientation can take place in a low-pressure processing environment such as during the deposition of the thin magnetic film or during a subsequent operation such as annealing. The electromagnet assembly includes a plate-shaped core located adjacent to the substrate and two or more electromagnetic coils that are wrapped in different directions around the core. Electrical currents conveyed through the electromagnetic coils are controlled for orienting a substantially uniaxial magnetic field throughout a range of angular positions in a plane of the substrate surface.

  • Patent number: 6100779
    Abstract: The deflection unit has a yoke ring mounted on, and secured to, a coil assembly comprising deflection coils carried on a support. The yoke ring (22) is secured using a flow process in which the coil assembly is rotated about a vertical axis and flowable adhesive, e.g. polyurethane resin, is directed at one end (28) of the yoke ring such that the adhesive (30) flows over its outer surface (24) to its other end, forming a protective coating, and onto an adjacent part (20) of the coil assembly. The adhesive flows also over a substantial portion of the inner surface (23) of the yoke ring in the gap between the yoke ring and the coil assembly providing extensive bonding (32) between the yoke ring and the coil assembly which reduces unwanted noise effects from the unit in subsequent operation.

  • Patent number: 5801481
    Abstract: A deflection yoke is provided on the outer surface of a boundary region between a neck and a cone of a funnel of a vacuum envelope. The deflection yoke includes a separator having one end portion, smaller in diameter, and the other end portion, larger in diameter, and a deflecting coil is attached to the inner surface of the separator. The inner surface of the separator is shaped so that its one end portion is circular and its other end portion is substantially rectangular. A plurality of first and second hooks and channels defined between the hooks are arranged on the one and the other end portions, respectively, of the inner surface of the separator. A winding of the deflecting coil is wound around the first and second hooks so as to be fitted in the channels. Third hooks for preventing the winding from being lifted are located on those parts of the inner surface of the separator whose cross sections have a minimum radius of curvature.

  • Patent number: 5783901
    Abstract: A deflection yoke for a cathode ray tube can correct both the pincushion distortion at the upper and lower edges of the screen and the misconvergence of the screen at the same time by the deflection yoke itself without the need for a correction magnet. The deflection yoke comprises a saddle shaped horizontal deflection coil, a saddle shaped vertical deflection coil located outside the horizontal deflection coil, and a high permeability core located outside the vertical deflection coil. The core has notch portions at the center parts of the upper and lower portions of the screen side end.

  • Patent number: 5783902
    Abstract: The improved convergence core assembly utilizes a separate carriage for the convergence core. This separate carriage properly aligns and holds the convergence core in relation to the convergence core assembly. In particular embodiments, the separate core carriage provides self centering and positional stability for the convergence core in the x-y plane, in the z-axis, and rotationally in the x-y plane. To accomplish this, the core carriage includes means for positioning the convergence core in the convergence core assembly. In certain embodiments, the means for positioning includes leaf springs and positioning tabs. The leaf springs tend to force the electromagnetic coil assembly against the stops of the positioning tabs to properly locate the convergence core in the z-axis. The positioning tabs also exert opposing spring forces on the convergence core to center the convergence core assembly in the x-y plane.

  • Patent number: 5740082
    Abstract: A position sensor is structurally integrated within a wide-gap magnetic actuator. Being an integral structure, the sensor provides voltages representative of a relative shift in position of the actuator's armature and pole piece from the neutral or base position and represents the actual position between pole piece and armature. Suitably the position sensor includes a photosensitive surface in the shape of a circular disk that is attached to the actuator's paddle and a narrow beam light source which is attached to the actuator's pole piece and oriented to produce a small spot of light on the photosensitive surface.

  • Patent number: 5719542
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a convergence yoke for improving focus characteristic. It comprises vertical correcting coils and horizontal correcting coils coils connected to a vertical deflection signal line and producing a barrel-shaped deflection field more enfeebled in magnetic shape without the change of magnetic force or equalizing a correction field without the change of magnetic force to improve focus characteristic of electron beams; and a core for making the vertical correcting coils and horizontal correcting coils produce an enfeebled barrel-shaped deflection field. Besides, this invention corrects coma aberration by compensating the barrel-shaped deflection field and the pincushion-shaped deflection field with each other to equalize the deflection fields without the change of magnetic force.

  • Patent number: 5631615
    Abstract: A free-wound electromagnetic yoke is formed by winding the X-axis with a continuous piece of heat bondable wire wound around a plurality of coil forms positioned on a mandrel and turned by a lathe. After winding, the mandrel is heated to cause the windings to form solid coils. After cooling, the solid coils are removed from the mandrel and from the coil forms. The same process is repeated for the Y-axis. The solid coils for both the X-axis and the Y-axis are placed in a toroidal support ring to form an electromagnetic yoke.
