Patent EP-0794550-A3 (EP)
Inventor: AMANO YASUNOBU
IPC: H01J29/48
Filed: 1997-03-05
Abstract: The present invention provides a cathode-ray tube provided with an
electron gun capable of emitting electron beams of vertically elongate cross
section. A beam control electrode (G2) is fabricated by forming beam passage
holes (22R, 22G, 22B) in thin portions (20R, 20G, 20B) of a reduced thickness of
an electrode plate (18), and forming excess-metal-relieving slots (40R to 45B) on
the opposite sides of the beam passage holes (22R, 22G, 22B), respectively. An
electron gun employing the beam control electrode (G2) is capable of
automatically correcting the cross section of beams so that the beams form
substantially circular spots in the periphery of a screen. Thus, the deterioration of
picture quality attributable to the distortion of the cross section of the beams can be
avoided and pictures can be displayed with an improved picture quality.

Abstract: A simple method for segmenting eyes and extracting parameters enables further
processing of the image to enable a person to appear to be making eye contact with another
via a video conferencing system. This method is a first step for eye synthesis and gaze
detection because it can automatically extract select eye parameters useful to these
processes. Its advantage is that no  a priori  information is necessary to segment eyes, unlike
modeling and neural network methods. The method of the present invention first blurs the
image to make it easier to determine the location of the two eye regions in the image. The
eyebrows are then eliminated based on the located eye regions. The eyes are then
segmented and the eye parameters are extracted from the resulting image. According to the
present invention, the process applies a Gaussian filter,  h(x, y ),where  g ( x ,  y ) is the resulting
image and  f(x, y)  is the original image.

Abstract: A mass fluid flow controller has a valve which is
controlled by a controller rod structure which is
substantially pivotally mounted on a metallic
diaphragm which stretches and unstretches with the
movement of the rod structure. The actuation of the
rod structure is by the expansion and contraction of
an actuator wire which is heated for the expansion
and allowed to cool for the contraction. The primary
fluid flow path through the controller is straight.
A sensor conduit, providing a parallel sensor fluid
flow path, is connected in position using metallic
sealer members which extend in openings to the
primary fluid flow path and which are rounded along
the direction through such openings. The pressure
drop, along the primary fluid flow path, to create
flow through the sensor conduit, is provided by a
fluid flow restrictor having a core and having
lengths of wire along the core which are squeezed
between the core and a tapered fluid flow path wall
in the vicinity of the sensor conduit input and
output connections. A spherical or a conical shape
may be used for the form of the core. A valve seat
bushing is mounted in pipe structure providing the
primary fluid flow path by applying a force against
an end surface of the bushing, with movement of the
bushing blocked, in order to deform the end surface,
push the outer wall of the bushing against the inner
wall of the pipe structure, and fix the bushing in
the pipe structure. In the relationship between the
controller rod structure and a ball which acts as a 
gate-member for the valve, an elongated stem rod
having a sleeve about it may be used in fixing the
ball to the controller rod structure. The stem rod
may be mounted by fixing it to the elongated sleeve,
a distance from the gate-member side of the
controller rod structure that is substantially
greater than the distance of the position of the ball
from the gate-member side of the controller rod
structure.
