Abstract
My invention is a new way to use a cathode ray tube, as used in oscilloscopes. My electronic circuit design controls the crt so that a clock face is displayed on the crt's screen, showing the time like a clock. It is meant to be a novelty item, and it is built inside a clear acrylic case, to enhance the novelty by displaying the construction inside and the electronic circuitry, as well as the cathode ray tube.
Claims1
My claim is that I have developed and invented this particular use of a cathode ray tube and microcontroller myself, the circuitry is my original design, and I wrote the program that is downloaded to a blank microcontroller to complete the operation of the construction, intended to be a novelty clock.
