Abstract:
A phosphor consisting of a solid solution of a complex oxide of alkaline earth metals, aluminum and silicon, which contains oxides of the alkaline earth metals (Ca, Sr and Ba), aluminum and silicon as a host material, which is activated by divalent europium (Eu2 ), shows a bright luminescence spectrum in a wavelength region from near ultraviolet to bluish white, which depends upon the composition of the host material, through an excitation by ultraviolet rays or electron beams. The phosphor is utilized as a blue component for a fluorescent discharge lamp for copying, a flying spot tube, a storage tube or a Braun tube.
Abstract:
A gas discharge tube is provided which comprises a glass tube, a coating of phosphor applied to the inner walls of the glass tube, a pair of electrodes disposed in parallel to each other along the substantial length of the glass tube, and some amounts of mercury and a neon-argon gas mixture or a neon-helium-argon gas mixture.
Abstract:
A multi-polar insulated gate transistor having two or more isolated electrodes formed on an insulated film, and an island region having a conductivity type different from that of the semiconductor proper and located in the portion of the substrate beneath said film and below the gap between said electrodes, whereby a large current can flow through the element located closer to the drain when the respective elements which may consist of the pair, i.e., each gate and source-island, islandisland or island-drain are under identical voltage conditions.
Abstract:
Luminous flux and luminous efficiency of a 20 watt fluorescent lamp comprising a ballast specified by the I.E.C. Publication 82 (covering Ballast for fluorescent lamps) is greatly improved by employing an improved tube characterized by: HAVING A NOMINAL TUBE LENGTH OF 590 MM AND AN INNER DIAMETER OF 20 MM TO 25 MM, PROVIDED INSIDE EACH END OF THE TUBE WITH AN ELECTRODE E having a length l of 15 mm to 55 mm inward (from the end face of each cap C as measured as shown in FIG. 2,) and containing mixed rare gas inside the tube, the rare gas having a composition ratio represented by any point within a diagonal region defined by connecting the following points (a) to (e) and (a) with straight lines in the following order, on a trilinear chart for xenon, krypton and argon mixture: (A) Xe: 2%, Kr: 0%, A:98% (b) Xe:15%, Kr: 0%, A:85% (c) Xe:15%, Kr:65%, A:20% (d) Xe:0%, Kr:80%, A:20% (e) Xe:0%, Kr:10%, A:90%, the pressure of the mixed gas being between 1.0 mmHg and 3.5 mmHg at a temperature of 20* C.
Abstract:
A low pressure mercury vapor fluorescent discharge lamp, having a color rendering value as high as 97 is obtainable by applying on the inner wall of the lamp a layer of a phosphor mixture comprising a basic magnesium arsenate phosphor containing 0.02 0.2 gram-atom of manganese per 6 mols of magnesium oxide, magnesium tungstate, tin-activated strontium magnesium orthophosphate and antimony-and-manganese-activated calcium halophosphate.
Abstract:
A pressure sensitive semiconductor device which has a schottky barrier junction at an electrode lead-out portion of one region of a p-n-p or n-p-n structure transistor and to which a pressure sensitive junction is formed by providing a pressure applying means to the schottky barrier junction which has a high sensitivity since it amplifies a pressure response signal by the amplifying action of the transistor.
Abstract:
A circuit in which the voltage derived from a reference diode or silicon zener diode is fed back through an emitter-follower circuit to the base of a transistor and the constant current flowing through the emitter-collector circuit of the transistor is in turn applied to the reference diode so that such a stabilized output voltage as cannot be attained by the zener diode alone may be obtained.
Abstract:
A chrominance saturation control circuit to permit indirect or DC mode control of chrominance saturation. The connection between the chrominance saturation control knob in a television receiver and the chrominance saturation control circuit can be achieved through wiring which transmits only DC voltage. With this DC controlled chrominance saturation control, the television set may be made less susceptible to external interference compared to the case of using a shielded wiring for directly controlling the chrominance saturation.
Abstract:
A semiconductor structure and a method of manufacturing same wherein at least three mesa semiconductor units are formed in a regularly spaced relationship on a single substrate and a heat dissipator is attached to the mesa surface of each of the units, thereby stabilizing and ensuring the mounting of the heat dissipator as well as attaining a considerably improved heat dissipation property. The structure is useful for a large heat loss semiconductor such as a microwave generating avalanche diode.
Abstract:
A multi-pole fused circuit breaker, of the type comprising current limiting fuses and a removable enclosed multi-pole trip device, comprises improved coordinating means for tripping the breaker when any of the fuses is actuated.
