Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
170 words
IN AN ELECTRON EMISSION CONTROL TUBE INCLUDING AN EVACUATED ENVELOPE, AN ELECTRON GUN ASSEMBLY, BEAM FORMING AND CONTROL ELEMENTS AND A DEFLECTION SYSTEM; THE IMPROVEMENT INCLUDING AN ELECTRON BEAM TARGET ASSEMBLY COMPRISING A SUBSTANTIALLY MONOPLANAR ELECTRICALLY INSULATING SUPPORT PLATE, AND A SERIES OF SUBSTANTIALLY MONOPLANAR NON-INTERSECTING ELECTRICAL CONDUCTORS AFFIXED IN INSULATED PORTION TO SAID PLATE, SAID CONDUCTORS TERMINATING AT THE PERIPHERY OF THE SUPPORT PLATE IN ENDS ADAPTED TO RECEIVE AND EMIT ELECTRONS; AND THE PERIPHERAL EXTREMITIES OF THE EMISSION END S EXTERNAL TO THE ENVELOPE, WITH A PORTION OF SAID CONDUCTORS EXPOSED TO THE CATHODE RAY ELECTRON BEAM, AND SUBSTANTIALLY PERPENDICULAR TO THE TUBE AXIS; SAID BEAM BEING MODULATED BY AN EXTERIOR CONTROL SIGNAL TRANSMITTED TO THE ELECTRON GUN ASSEMBLY; SAID BEAM DEFLECTABLE FOR SCANNING INDIVIDUAL CONDUCTORS IN SAID SERIES TO PROVIDE SELECTIVE TRANSMISSION OF ELECTRONS THROUGH SAID CONDUCTORS TO THE EXTERIOR OF SAID TUBE; AND STATIONARY ELECTRODES SPACED LATERALLY FROM THE EXTERIOR EDGES OF SAID SUPPORT PLATE PARALLEL TO AND OPPOSITE FROM THE RESPECTIVE ENDS OF SAID CONDUCTORS.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
77 words
IN COMBINATION, AN ELONGATED INSULATING PLATE; A SERIES OF COPLANAR ELONGATED CONDUCTORS AFFIXED IN INSULATION POSITION TO SAID PLATE; AND A PLURALITY OF ELECTRON EMISSION CONTROL TUBES ADAPTED FOR TRANSMITTING ELECTRONS TO THE EXTERIOR THEREOF THROUGH A SERIES OF INSULATED CONDUCTORS, THE RESPECTIVE CONDUCTORS OF EACH TUBE BEING IN CONTACT RESPECTIVELY WITH CORRESPONDING CONDUCTORS ON SAID EXTERIOR INSULATING PLATE, WITH THE ELECTRONS EMITTED FROM EACH TUBE SIMULTANEOUSLY TRANSMITTED TO THE RESPECTIVE CONDUCTORS ON SAID EXTERIOR INSULATING PLATE.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
