| Number | Title | Issue Date |
| 5334992 | Computer display color control and selection system An interface system allows a user to select and control colors used in graphic images generated by a computer system. The interface system employs graphical representations of the hue, chroma, and lightness combinations capable of being rendered by a comp... | 08/02/1994 |
| 5221875 | High resolution cathode-ray tube with high bandwidth capability The present invention includes a cathode-ray tube (10) capable of providing a high-brightness, high-resolution large screen display that is compatible with, for example, field sequential liquid crystal color display systems and monochrome imaging systems.... | 06/22/1993 |
| 5184147 | Ink jet print head maintenance system An ink jet print head cleaning and maintenance system has a purge chamber for applying a vacuum to a nozzle orifice surface. A specialized baffle diverts ink entering the purge chamber away a vent port through which the vacuum is drawn. An elongated wipe ... | 02/02/1993 |
| 5134337 | Projection lens assembly for planar electron source A projection lens assembly (10) projects onto a display screen (38) electrons emitted from an output side (86) of an electron multiplier such as, for example, a microchannel plate (70). The projection lens assembly includes a dome-shaped mesh element (16)... | 07/28/1992 |
| 5077498 | Pinched electron beam cathode-ray tube with high-voltage einzel focus lens A cathode-ray tube (10) includes a prefocusing lens (14) and an adjacent high-voltage einzel focus lens (16) to form an electron beam with low spherical aberration. The high-voltage einzel focus lens includes a central lens element (52) positioned between... | 12/31/1991 |
| 5053757 | Touch panel with adaptive noise reduction A touch panel has panel scanning signals selectively applied to the four sides of a touch sensing surface of the panel so as to establish alternating current voltage gradients in desired directions across the touch sensing surface. When the panel is touch... | 10/01/1991 |
| 5036317 | Flat panel apparatus for addressing optical data storage locations A flat panel apparatus for and a method of addressing data storage locations (80) employs a row-scanning electron beam (76) to address simultaneously a row (120) of such storage locations and thereby store data in and read data out of them. The storage lo... | 07/30/1991 |
| 4977348 | Electron discharge tube with bipotential electrode structure A cathode-ray tube (54) includes a bipotential electrode structure (50) that converges the electrons in an electron beam. The bipotential electrode structure includes a cylindrical metallic electrode (56) positioned within a neck portion (66) of an evacua... | 12/11/1990 |
| 4922061 | Capacitive touch panel system with randomly modulated position measurement signal A capacitive touch panel system (10) having a faceplate (14) with an electrically conductive layer (20) of a consistent resistivity employs a position measurement apparatus (12) to generate an address signal indicative of a position (46) on the faceplate ... | 05/01/1990 |
| 4917463 | Charge modulation compensated liquid crystal light valve having the first and second electric fields cooperating to provide a divergent electron lens effect A liquid crystal light valve (10) includes compensation for wire shadow effects caused by the interception of writing beam primary electrons as they propagate through the collector electrode (66). The wire shadows stem from the lack of charge deposited on... | 04/17/1990 |
| 4884874 | Method of addressing display regions in an electron beam-addressed liquid crystal light valve An electron beam addressed liquid crystal light modulator or "valve" (10) includes a liquid crystasl cell (40) having a target surface (45) which a writing electron beam (60a) and an erasing electron beam (60b) address to provide a display image. The writ... | 12/05/1989 |
