Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100151820Devices, Systems and Methods for Localized and Controlled Telephone Service - Devices, systems and methods are disclosed which relate to a visually distinct and tamper-resistant wireless telephone and a system for issuing the telephone, validating a call, and monitoring the call. This solution uses a durable wireless telephone design. Prepaid correctional wireless telephones are issued to inmates at correctional facilities. A system restricts calling to a centralized call control platform and performs validation, call detail data collection and storage, security, and ancillary features. The call detail data collection and storage is used for records and auditing purposes. Ancillary features include recording, three-way call detection, etc. A method is employed which validates a user's call and monitors the contents for security.06-17-2010

20100097004System And Apparatus For Cathodoluminescent Lighting - Electron sources for a cathodoluminescent lighting system are disclosed. An electron source is a broad-beam reflecting-type electron gun having a cathode for emitting electrons and a reflector and/or secondary emitter electrode and no grids. An alternative electron gun has a cathode having a heater welded to a disk, the disk having an emissive surface on a side facing a dome-shaped defocusing grid and an anode. A lighting system incorporating the electron sources has an envelope with a transparent face, an anode with a phosphor layer to emit light through the face and a conductor layer. The system also has a power supply for providing from five to thirty thousand volts of power to the light emitting device to draw electrons from cathode to anode and excite a cathodoluminescent phosphor, and the electrons transiting from cathode to anode are essentially unfocused. A power-factor-corrected embodiment is also disclosed.04-22-2010

20110175517High-Definition Cathode Ray Tube and Electron Gun - A high-definition CRT is provided having an electron gun to produce high beam current without increasing spot size and to provide lower electrical power requirements at high beam-modulation frequencies. The electron gun includes beam-forming electrodes and a lens. Each beam-forming electrode has several aperture clusters operable to form several collimated beams of electrons. In addition, the lens is operable to focus the several collimated beams of electrons onto a display screen.07-21-2011
