Filed: 1969-07-09
Abstract: 1276885 Cathode ray storage tubes; semiconductor targets TEXAS INSTRUMENTS Inc 9 July 1969 [9 Sept 1968] 34599/69 Headings H1D and H1K An image storage device, in particular a scan converter, has a target 19 comprising a body 24 of N-type semi-conductor material having on one face an additional storage layer 28, for example of phosphorescent material, for receiving an image and in the other opposed face a number of discrete areas 26a, 26b of, for example, P-type semi-conductor material whose charge distribution is changed in correspondence to information of the received image which is indicated by the phosphor layer. A constant energy beam of electrons 31 from the read gun is scanned across the discrete P-type regions to form a corresponding uniform series of reverse biased depletion layers 32a, 32b. An intensity modulated beam of electrons 34 from the write gun or a light beam incident on phosphor layer 28 produces electron hole pairs, Fig. 5, in number corresponding to the intensity of the write beam, and the holes thus produced migrate to the P-type areas and are collected there to alter the reverse bias condition to a more positive charge condition. When scanned once more by the read beam 31 an alternating output signal detected by sensor 30 is produced by the target, whose value is dependent on the amount of charge required to reverse bias the individual P-type areas back to the reference level. The phosphors of layer 28 are chosen according to the length of delayed reading required. In an embodiment for use in radar screens, Fig. 7 (not shown) a low energy write beam used as described above to produce a persistant image is provided in conjunction with a high energy beam which penetrates the phosphor layer to produce a non- persistent image which may be used as a tag to identify persistent images.

Title: Improvements in or relating to self-hardening, liquid resinous compositions and articles having the resinous composition bonded thereto
IPC: C08L63/00
Filed: 1953-12-15
Abstract: A self-hardening liquid composition contains a liquid to semi-solid epoxide resin and a liquid aliphatic polythiopolymercaptan, the mixture containing sufficient epoxide resin to yield a self-hardening composition and, in any case, not less than 0.5 epoxy groups per thiol group.  It is useful for forming tough rubbery coatings, e.g. on aluminium or paper. Suitable polythiopolymercaptans are "Thiokol" (Registered Trade Mark) LP2, 3, 8 or 32 polymers which may be made by condensation of dichloroethyl formal containing a small proportion of trichloropropane with sodium polysulphide followed by reductive cleavage of disulphide groups to yield free -SH groups. Dichlorodiethyl ether or ethylene dichloride may be used instead of the dichloroethyl formal.  The preferred epoxy resin is "Epon" (Registered Trade Mark) 562 prepared from glycerol and epichlorhydrin, followed by treatment to eliminate HCl.  Metal oxide curing agents, e.g. oxides of lead or zinc, fillers, e.g. carbon black, ZnS, BaSO4, CaCO3, TiO2, micalith, asbestos, and other synthetic resins may be incorporated. Volatile liquid diluents to produce solutions or dispersions may also be used.  In the examples: (1) "Epon" 562 and "Thiokol" LP2 are mixed and various proportions poured on to aluminium panels and allowed to set for 16-24 hours at 70-80 DEG  F.  In Example (2) carbon black pigment, lead peroxide curing agent, and stearic acid to lengthen the pot life were included.  In Example (3) carbon black, liquid phenol-aldehyde resin and red lead were added to the main ingredients of the mixture. Example (4) uses a semi-solid epoxy resin from epichlorhydrin and 2,2-bis-(4-hydroxyphenyl) propane together with "Epon" 562 and "Thiokol" LP2 and Example (5) uses a mixture of "Epon" 562 and "Thiokol" LP8.  Reference has been directed by the Comptroller to Specifications 730,670 and 755,944.
