Abstract:
An electron emission device and display including the same include a substrate; a cathode electrode including a first electrode portion formed on the substrate and having opening portions, and second electrode portions placed within respective ones of the opening portions such that the second electrodes are separated from the first electrode; a resistance layer electrically interconnecting the first electrode portion and the second electrode portions of the cathode electrode; and electron emission regions electrically connected to the second electrode portions. A width of the second electrode portions or of the resistance layer between the first and second electrode portions varies along a longitudinal direction of the cathode electrode.
Abstract:
A cathode panel for a cold cathode field emission display, comprising; (a) a plurality of main wirings, (b) a plurality of branch wirings extending from each main wiring, and (c) cold cathode electron emitting portions connected to the branch wirings, wherein a branch wiring connecting a cold cathode electron emitting portion defective in operation and a main wiring is cut off.
Abstract:
A field emission type cold cathode device comprises a substrate, and a metal plating layer formed on the substrate, the metal plating layer contains at least one carbon structure selected from a group of fullerenes and carbon nanotubes, the carbon structure is stuck out from the metal plating layer and a part of the carbon structure is buried in the metal plating layer.
Abstract:
A thrombectomy apparatus for breaking up thrombus or other obstructive material in a lumen of a vascular graft or vessel includes a flexible sheath and a wire positioned within the flexible sheath, wherein the wire and flexible sheath are relatively movable. The wire is substantially sinuous in configuration and assumes a substantially sinuous shape when deployed from the flexible sheath and a straighter configuration when retracted into the flexible sheath. The wire is operatively connected to a motor for rotation of the wire to enable the deployed wire to break up the thrombus or other obstructive material.
Abstract:
The invention includes field emitters, field emission displays (FEDs), monitors, computer systems for providing uniform electron beams from cathodes of FED devices. The apparatuses each include electron beam uniformity circuitry. The electron beam uniformity circuit provides a grid voltage, VGrid, with a DC offset voltage sufficient to induce field emission from a cathode and a periodic signal superimposed on the DC offset voltage for varying the grid voltage at a frequency fast enough to be undetectable by the human eye. The cathodes may be of the micro-tipped or flat variety. The periodic signal may be sinusoidal with peak-to-peak voltage of between about 5 volts and about 50 volts.

Abstract:
A cathode-grid plate of a field-effect flat display screen of the type including a first set of row conductors, a second set of column conductors and, for each screen pixel, defined by the intersection of a column and of a line, an element for temporarily storing the luminance control signal of the considered pixel.
Abstract:
Described herein is a resistor layer for use in field emission display devices and the like, and its method of manufacture. The resistor layer is an amorphous silicon layer doped with nitrogen and phosphorus. Nitrogen concentration in the resistor layer is preferably between about 5 and 15 atomic percent. The presence of nitrogen and phosphorus in the silicon prevents diffusion of Si atoms into metal conductive layers such as aluminum, even up to diffusion and packaging temperatures. The nitrogen and phosphorus also prevent defects from forming at the boundary between the resistor layer and metal conductor. This leads to better control over shorting and improved resistivity in the resistor.
Abstract:
New uses of statins as novel types of immunomodulator. More specifically, the invention relates to methods for treating multiple sclerosis through the administration of one or more statins, and even more advantageously, in combination with other multiple sclerosis agents or treatments, such as null-interferons or copaxone.
