Abstract: A cathode ray tube including a pair of supports 13a, 13b arranged in
parallel facing each other and a shadow mask 11 acting as a color selection
electrode including a large number of apertures. The shadow mask is
stretched and held by the supports in a state in which tension is applied by
the supports. In the shadow mask before being stretched onto the supports,
the shapes of the apertures are varied so that the width of the apertures in the
middle portion in the direction in which tension is to be applied narrows
gradually from the central portion towards the both end portions in the
direction parallel to the longitudinal direction of the support. Thereby, the
shapes of the apertures can be made to be uniform over the entire surface in a
state in which the shadow mask is stretched. As a result, a cathode ray tube
with less color unevenness can be provided.

Abstract: Armouring tape (102) for wrapping around a hose (300) during its fabrication by a hose-wrapping machine (200; 400). The tape (102) is coiled into a roll (100) having a hollow core (109) from which the tape (102) is unwound to be wrapped onto the hose (300). The hose-wrapping machine (200; 400) rotatably mounts the roll (100) with the hose (300) passing through the roll core (109), the roll axis (108) being skewed to the hose axis (304) by the helix angle at which the tape (102) is to be wrapped onto and along the hose (300). The hose (300) is moved longitudinally through the longitudinally static roll (100) and at the same time, the roll (100) is rotated around the longitudinal axis (304) of the non-rotating hose (300). The armouring tape (102) unwinds from the inside (109) of the roll onto and along the hose (300) so as to wrap the hose (300) with a uniform helix of armouring tape (102). The use of a tape (102) containing an elastomer-embedded array of armouring cables (104) enables armouring wires and elastomer layers to be applied without a stabilising layer of fabric, and greatly simplifies setting-up of machinery for hose fabrication. The use of a tape roll (100) which can be unwound from its inside (109) enables hoses to be wrapped without having to orbit rolls that are very large and heavy.

Abstract: A middle expanded, removable disk implant for stabilizing adjacent vertebrae. The implant is substantially rectangular in cross-sectional shape with a minimal height and a width greater than the height. The implant is detachably mounted to an applicator for insertion into the space between two adjacent vertebrae from which a portion of the intervertebral disk has been removed. Once inserted, the implant is positioned by anterior-posterior movement in the disk space to the position in which both the expanded, larger width middle portion and the smaller end portions engage the bodies of the adjacent vertebrae and the implant is then rotated to bring the sides of the rectangularly-shaped implant defining the width of the implant, with its larger dimension, into engagement with the bodies of the vertebrae. A locking piece is then inserted into the disk space adjacent the rotated implant. The locking piece includes a surface for bearing against the bodies of the adjacent vertebrae to resist rotation of the locking piece along the longitudinal axis thereof and an implant bearing surface for engaging one of the sides of the implant defining the width of the implant to resist rotation of the implant relative to the locking piece. Both implant and locking piece are comprised of bone, the locking piece being preferably comprised of both cortical and cancellous bone, or the implant is comprised of metal, bio-compatible polymer, or other suitable material. The implant may also include a flared end for maintaining proper spinal curvature of the patient.
