Abstract: A filter and pressure relief assembly for an adhesive supply unit comprises an adhesive supply hopper (12), a filter basket (20) disposed within a cavity (18) defined within a filter block (16), and a filter plug (22) for retaining the filter basket (20) within the filter block (16). Inlet port (32) provides an infeed of adhesive from the hopper (12), an outlet port (36) leads to an applicator, and a return port (54) and conduit (56) return adhesive back to the hopper (12). The filter plug (22) contains a pressure relief valve (44) which opens and connects the inlet port (32) to the return port (54) and conduit (56) so as to return adhesive to the hopper (12) under over-pressure conditions, and a pair of O-ring members (100, 102) for respectively engaging small and large diameter regions (104, 106) of the cavity (18). A slide plate (66) is movable between three positions (82, 80,78) and is operatively engaged with the filter plug (22) so as to respectively retain the filter plug (22) at a full retention and a partial retention position within the filter block (16), or permit release of the filter plug (22) and the filter basket (20) from the filter block (16). When the filter basket (20) is to be removed from the filter block (16), the slide plate (66) is moved to its second position (80) at which the filter plug (22) moves upwardly within the filter block (16) such that the lower O-ring member (102) disengages the small diameter region (104) of the cavity (18) so as to relieve the pressure within the system and permit adhesive to return to the hopper (12), the upper O-ring member (100) maintaining the sealing of the system. The slide plate (66) is then moved to the release position (78) so as to permit the filter plug (22) and the filter basket (20) to be removed safely from the filter block (16) without any forceful discharge of adhesive from the system. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a cathode-ray tube comprises a process of forming a phosphor screen. The process comprises an application process, a shake-off process, and a drying process. In the application process, a glass panel (1) is tilted with respect to a vertical axis (2) and is rotated having a tilt axis (3) as a central axis to spread a phosphor slurry (9) over almost the entire area of an inner face of the glass panel (1). In the shake-off process, by rotating the glass panel (1), excess phosphor slurry is shaken off and the excess phosphor slurry is recovered in phosphor-slurry recovery members (4) provided at the four corners of the glass panel (1). In the drying process, the phosphor slurry is dried. In this method, the tilt angle and rotation speed of the glass panel (1) at least in one process out of the application process, the shake-off process, and the drying process is changed at least in two stages. Thus using large phosphor particles capable of obtaining a high luminance, a cathode-ray tube in which a phosphor screen, with uniform distribution of the phosphors and without a cross phenomenon, wall stain, and liquid spill onto the inner face, is formed on an inner face of a glass panel (1) can be obtained. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An interface arrangement including the cascade connection of a differential pre-amplifier (HPA1, HPA2) and a comparator (DA), and generally known as fast Low Voltage Differential Signal  LVDS­ circuit for interfacing electronic chips. The current standards for such a LVDS circuit specify a minimum switching threshold voltage for the small differential input signal, while the common mode input signal varies over a very large range, both at a very high frequency. This is achieved owing to the fact that the differential pre-amplifier comprises a first (HPA1) and a second (HPA2) half pre-amplifier, each receiving the arrangement inputs (INN, INP) in an opposite way. Each half pre-amplifier (HPA1/HPA2) having first input inverter means (NN1, PN1) coupling an input (INN/INP) to an output (OUT1/OUT2) thereof, and second input inverter means (NP1, PM1, PM2; PP1, NM1, NM2) coupling the other input (INP/INN) to the output via current mirror means (PM1, PM2; NM1, NM2). The output current of the second input inverter means is thereby inverted with respect to the output current of the first input inverter means. To obtain a controlled gain, the half pre-amplifier further includes a short-circuited inverter.  <IMAGE>
