International Classification:

H01J 2980

US Classification:

313407, 313402, 313408

Abstract:

A color cathode-ray tube (CRT) has an evacuated envelope with an electron gun therein for generating an electron beam. The envelope further includes a faceplate panel having a luminescent screen with phosphor elements on an interior surface thereof. A focus mask, having a plurality of spaced-apart first conductive strands, is located adjacent to an effective picture area of the screen. The spacing between the first conductive strands defines a plurality of apertures substantially parallel to the phosphor elements on the screen. Each of the first conductive strands has a substantially continuous slightly conductive insulating material layer formed on a screen facing side thereof. A plurality of second conductive wires are oriented substantially perpendicular to the plurality of first conductive strands and are bonded thereto by the slightly conductive insulating material layer. The slightly conductive insulating material layer is a composite material comprising one or more transition metal oxides and a lead-zinc-borosilicate glass.

International Classification:

H01J 924

US Classification:

445 24

Abstract:

A plasma display having a transparent front panel spaced from a back panel which is a metal core having layers of a dielectric material extending over and bonded to the core. Conductive electrodes are on the surface of or imbedded in the dielectric layer of the back panel. The materials of which the back panel is made are chosen to form a back panel having a thermal coefficient of expansion compatible with that of the front panel. Barrier ribs are formed on the back panel by embossing the green tape before cofiring the bonded assembly. The green tape is embossed using pulsed pressure and an embossing tool that is formed by assembling embossing members and spacing members in compression. The embossing tool further includes elastic spacers mounted outside of the embossing tool and in a position such that the elastic spacers are held in compression during the embossing operation to aid in releasing the embossed green tape from the embossing tool after the embossing operation.

International Classification:

B05D 306

US Classification:

427 541

Abstract:

In a method of manufacturing, the steps of: providing a workpiece comprising a main body and a machine-readable marking on a portion of the body, depositing on the marking and the surrounding surface an overcoating of a liquid polymeric composition that is curable by exposure to ultraviolet radiation, and then irradiating the liquid overcoating with ultraviolet radiation so that the overcoating cures to a solid nontacky, light-transmitting protective coating. The workpiece, with the cured protective coating thereon, may be subjected to processing steps wherein extraneous matter may adhere to the coating, and then be cleaned leaving the cured coating intact.

International Classification:

C03B 2710

US Classification:

65 42

Abstract:

A method for forming a back panel for a plasma display includes preparing a green ceramic tape having a temperature coefficient of expansion (TCE) which matches the TCE of a metal core. Barrier ribs are formed on the back panel by embossing or scribing the green ceramic tape. The formed green ceramic tape is then bonded to the metal core. Finally, the bonded formed green ceramic tape and the metal core are cofired to form the back panel.

Assignee:

RCA Corporation - New York NY

International Classification:

G06K 1902

US Classification:

235487

Abstract:

A workpiece having a machine-readable coded marking recessed into the surface thereof. The workpiece comprises a main body and a thin integral coating in the area of the marking. The marking comprises a plurality of related marks, such as a bar-code marking, which are recessed through the coating and which have substantially different light reflectances than the surrounding surface. The workpiece may include an integral undercoating between the coating and the main body with marks recessed into, but not through, the undercoating. The marks may be made by selectively removing material, as by abrasion or ablation, from defined surface areas and through the coating.

US Classification:

204601

Abstract:

The present invention provides a liquid distribution system, which is useful in a number of contexts, including in accomplishing various synthetic, diagnostic and drug screening reactions. The distribution system can comprise an alpha reservoir and a beta reservoir, a first set of parallel and adjacent first and second feeder channels and a second set of parallel and adjacent third and fourth feeder channels which are offset from the first and second feeder channels, wherein (a) the first and third feeder channels are connected to the alpha reservoir via a first connector channel that is situated above or below the second and fourth feeder channels and are independent of the beta reservoir and (b) the second and fourth feeder channels are connected to the beta reservoir via a second connector channel that is situated above or below the first and third feeder channels and are independent of the alpha reservoir. The distribution system is preferably a microscale distribution system. Various particular mechanisms for controlling flow into a liquid distribution system are described.

International Classification:

G02F 136

US Classification:

350160R

Abstract:

An electrochromic display device includes an electrolyte and at least one transparent electrically conductive electrode. An organic insulating layer e. g. a photoresist material, is disposed between the transparent electrode and the electrolyte such that no portion of the transparent electrode is in contact with the electrolyte. The insulating layer protects the transparent electrode from deterioration so as to increase the lifetime of the transparent electrode.
