Abstract: An effective picture area A, displaying an image on the inside of a face panel, is curved and has no inflection points. An origin O marks the center of the effective picture area A on the inside of the face panel. The x-axis passes the origin O and is parallel to the long sides Xa of the effective picture area. The y-axis passes the origin O and is parallel to the short sides Ya of the effective picture area. The z-axis passes the origin O and is parallel to the tube axis. Using a Cartesian coordinate system of the axes x, y, and z, the saggital height Z of any point (x, y, z) on the inner surface of the face panel 4 from the origin O in the direction of the tube is given by Z = a1x<2> + a2x<4> + a3y<2> + a4x<2>y<2> + a5x<4>y<2> + a6y<4> + a7x<2>y<4>, which describes a curved surface without inflection points. Thus, a cathode ray tube device can be provided, wherein the distortion amount of an inner pincushion distortion in the effective picture area can be decreased without an increase of the deflection power and device costs. The cathode ray tube according to the invention may be described in terms of the quotient of the radius of curvature of side picture areas and center (origin) picture areas. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A drive for a phacoemulsification probe (13) includes a drive circuit (15) for supplying electrical power to the probe (13), circuitry (29) for sensing the electrical power supplied by the drive circuit (15) to the probe (13) and for supplying electrical signals indicative of the magnitude of the electrical power supplied. A manually operable input device (21) provides a signal indicative of the transducer power level desired by the user of the probe (13). A control circuit is responsive to the signal indicative of the desired transducer power level and to the signals indicative of the magnitude of the supplied electrical power for providing control signals to the drive circuit (15) to control the power applied in an efficient manner. The drive circuit (15) includes a totem-pole switch (31), responsive to at least one of the control signals, to apply power in a square-wave waveform, and a switching regulator (27) for supplying a supply voltage to the totem-pole switch (31). The totem-pole switch (31) has circuitry associated therewith which is responsive to one of the control signals to initially vary the frequency of the square-wave waveform. The regulator (27) is responsive to a second control signal (A) from the control circuit to vary the voltage supplied by the regulator (27) to the totem-pole switch (31) to control the amplitude of the square-wave waveform. The switching nature of this system substantially minimizes the power consumption of the drive circuit (15) as compared with conventional techniques. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The magnetic tape cassette comprises a reel, a cassette half (4), a reel locking member (45) and a rib (6a or 6b). The reel on which the magnetic tape is wound turns on a predetermined track and has engaging teeth at its periphery. The cassette half has a reel accommodating area which is accommodatable with various kinds of reels which are different in an outside diameter from one another. The reel lock member is disposed on the cassette half and has an engagement pawl. The reel lock member is slidable between a reel lock position where the engagement pawl of the reel lock member is engaged with the engaging teeth of the reel so as to inhibit a rotation of the reel and a releasing position where the reel lock member disengages from the engaging teeth of the reels so as to allow the rotation of the reel. The rib disposed on the cassette half for keeping a locking condition where the engagement pawl is engaged with the engaging teeth, when the reel leaves from the predetermined tracks. Accordingly, independently of the outside diameter of reels accommodated therein, the rotation of the reels can be positively stopped.

Abstract: An integrated circuit provided with ESD protection means comprising a silicon-controlled rectifier whose n-well (WLL), if the substrate (SBSTR) of the integrated circuit is of the p-type, is connected to the VDD supply instead of to the bonding-pad (BP) to which electronic circuitry is connected. Consequently, the anode is only formed by the p+ diffusion (d4) in the n-well (WLL). Therefore, negative voltages are allowed at the bonding pad (BP) because the junction is not forward-biased. Thus, an ESD protection towards the VSS is obtained. Additionally, a PMOST (MP) is used as an ESD protection towards the VDD.

Abstract: An apparatus is described for cleaning or inhibiting the fouling of a plurality of membrane modules 20 immersed in tank water 18 in a tank 12. Air is supplied through aerators 38 to produce a flow of bubbles 36 effective to clean or inhibit fouling of the membrane modules. The flow of air is alternated between a higher flow rate and a lower flow rate, the lower flow rate being less than one half of the higher flow rate, in repeated cycles of not more than 120 seconds in duration while the permeate is withdrawn through the membrane modules 20. This produces transient flow conditions in the tank water 18, the tank water 18 being accelerated or decelerated for much of each cycle so that it is rarely in a steady state during permeation. This gives rise to efficient cleaning of the membranes without overloading the aerator system. The flow rates are controlled by a set of valves 254 and a controller 256.
