Title: The Innovations of Kenneth W McGlashan

Introduction

Kenneth W McGlashan is a notable inventor based in Indianapolis, IN (US). He has made significant contributions to the field of technology, particularly in the development of cathode ray tube (CRT) systems. With a total of 6 patents to his name, McGlashan's work has had a lasting impact on television technology.

Latest Patents

One of McGlashan's latest patents is the "Magnetic field compensator for a CRT." This invention addresses the horizontal component of the earth's magnetic field in television receivers. It utilizes a fluxgate magnetometer with sensing windings to generate signals that control currents in planar coils. These coils produce a magnetic field that neutralizes the earth's magnetic influence on the electron beam in the CRT. The system automatically adjusts whenever the receiver's position changes.

Another significant patent is the "Raster distortion corrector for cathode ray tubes." This invention employs magnetically permeable corrector pieces positioned around the deflection yoke. These pieces create a distortion-correcting field that enhances the performance of the CRT while minimizing interaction with the horizontal deflection field.
