The preparation of phosphors such as those based on zinc sulfide and/or cadmium sulfide in the form of very fine particles which include not only the sulfide but also the activator and mineralizer required to make this an active material and the deposition of such an active material from a clear solution containing the phosphor, mineralizer and dopant necessary to complete an active material, into the pores of a suitable substrate, thereby producing the essential element for a high resolution in...

An apparatus for depositing thin lines of conducting, semi-conducting or dielectric material on a substrate including a crucible having a vaporizable material charge receiving chamber and a vapor chamber. A first tube for introducing a flow of carrier gas and a heated capillary tube penetrate the vapor compartment. On heating the crucible to a temperature above the evaporation temperature of the charge, the charge evaporates and is pushed through the capillary tube by the carrier gas. The stream...

An improvement in the selector element of an article selector and depositing construction which selects articles from a mass and transfers them to a point of deposit. The improvement resides in the selector disc which is formed of a cooperatively engaged top and bottom plate, the top plate carrying a plurality of first spaced apart apertures disposed in a single ring concentrically to the center axis of the disc. The bottom plate defining an equal number of spaced apart second transfer apertures...

Toffee dispensing apparatus comprises a pump plunger reciprocatable within a cylinder, the clearance between the plunger and cylinder being such that the liquid provides the sole sealing medium between the plunger and cylinder, and a discharge valve from the cylinder in which a valve member is movable vertically to seal a discharge aperture from the cylinder and is drawn against the aperture by suction, there being no external means biasing the valve member against the aperture.

Process for the depositing, onto a substrate, of a coating essentially constituted of an electronic conductor compound, in which the said coating is formed by producing alternatively, on the one hand, in at least one depositing zone, one or several deposits of a determined thickness of an electronic conductor element on the substrate, and, on the other hand, in at least one reaction zone, one or several reactions of the element thus deposited with ions of a reactive gas which are implanted into ...

A film is deposited on a target object by exposing the target object to film deposition plasma of a film deposition material gas while irradiating the target object with ion beams. An ion source is used for the irradiation with the ion beams. The ion source has a plasma container and an ion beam producing electrode system formed of four electrodes. The plasma container and the first electrode located in an inner position nearest to the plasma container carry a positive potential. The second elec...

A plasma apparatus for forming a diamond-like carbon layer on a magnetic substance including a central columnar electrode; an outer electrode around the central electrode in a coaxial relation such that a discharge space is formed therebetween; a dielectric member located between the central electrode and the outer electrode; a device for introducing a reactive gas containing at least a carbon compound gas from one end of the discharge space; a device for applying a high frequency voltage betwee...

A document processing system comprising a sensor array for sensing the size and position of a document; a movable magnetic scanner for scanning the document for coded information thereon; an imager for obtaining digitized image data of the document; a movable printing device for printing information on a document; a reversible document transport for conveying a document relative to the sensor array, the magnetic scanner, the imager, and the printing device; and a control unit connected to the se...

A device for depositing folded products onto a conveyor belt utilizes a paddle wheel to receive the products from a folder. If the paddle wheel becomes overloaded, a guide device that has sheet metal guide plates is shifted away from the paddle wheel. This shifting is initiated automatically. The movement of the guide device creates a space or pocket for the accumulated folded products.

A deposit processing module comprising a first transport having a first end for receiving envelopes and single document deposits and a second end from which the deposits are discharged, and a second transport operatively positioned for receiving and returning single document deposits to and from the first transport. Printing means are provided for printing deposit information on the deposits, a magnetic charge/read head is provided for charging and reading magnetic information on the single docu...
