Filed:

Dec 28, 1981

Appl. No.:

6/335117

Inventors:

Thomas J. Morris - Addison IL

Assignee:

Zenith Electronics Corporation - Glenview IL

International Classification:

H01J 950
H01J 920

US Classification:

313461

Abstract:

An article of manufacture is disclosed comprising a cathode ray tube having a glass face panel with a cathodoluminescent screen on the inner surface thereof. The screen has a phosphor constituent vulnerable to patterned discoloring known as character burn. Character burn is caused by static area electron bombardment of such time and intensity as to discolor the phosphor, but not appreciably degrade phosphor efficiency. The tube according to the invention is characterized by having a conditioned screen uniformly burn-discolored throughout at least in the visible portion of the screen to render substantially imperceptible patterned character burn resulting from use. A process is also disclosed for use in the manufacture of cathode ray tubes and display monitors, and the reclamation of character-burned cathode ray tubes to render character burn substantially imperceptible.

Abstract:

A valve for a brake cooling system may include a body including a first and a second end, a first at least one radial passage, and a second at least one radial passage fluidly communicable with the first end. A first seat may be disposed within the body proximate the first end, while a plug may include a stop, a collar, and a first trunk disposed between the stop and the collar. The collar and the first trunk may be disposed in the body while an adapter may include a second seat, a head, and a second trunk disposed between the second seat and the head. The second seat and the second trunk may be disposed in the plug with a chamber, fluidly communicable with the adapter and the first at least one radial passage, being defined in the first trunk of the plug. An actuator may be slidably disposed in the chamber, and be in operative association with a biasing member. A poppet may be in operative association with the biasing member and the first seat.
