    Abstract: A flame detector including an ultraviolet emitter configured to emit ultraviolet light at a strike voltage less than or equal to approximately 230 volts. A method of manufacturing an ultraviolet emitter for use in a flame detector, the ultraviolet emitter including a hermetically sealed, alkali rich, ultraviolet transmissive glass envelope, the method including: (a) wrapping an envelope exterior surface with a conductive material; (b) performing a first injection of at least one non-radioactive gas into the glass envelope at a first pressure; (c) applying a voltage bias to the glass envelope; (d) baking the hermetically sealed, alkali rich, ultraviolet transmissive glass envelope at a baking temperature for a baking duration of time; (e) cooling the hermetically sealed, alkali rich, ultraviolet transmissive glass envelope to a desired temperature; and (f) performing a second injection of at least one non-radioactive gas into the glass envelope at a second pressure.

    Abstract: A position-sensitive ionizing-particle radiation counting detector includes a first substrate and a second substrate generally parallel to the first substrate and forming a gap with the first substrate, with a discharge gas contained within the gap. The detector includes a first electrode electrically coupled to the second substrate, and a second electrode electrically coupled to the first electrode and defining at least one pixel with the first electrode. The detector further includes an open dielectric structure pattern layered over one of the first or second electrodes and a current-limiting quench resistor coupled in series to one of the first or second electrodes. The detector further includes a power supply coupled to one of the first or second electrodes and a first discharge event detector circuitry coupled to the one of the first or second electrodes for detecting a gas discharge counting event in the electrode.

    Abstract: A plasma panel based ionizing-particle radiation detector includes a first substrate and a second substrate coupled to the first substrate by a hermetic seal. The second substrate is an ultra-thin substrate. The detector further includes a discharge gas between the first and second substrate and at least one second electrode electrically coupled to a first electrode and defining at least one pixel with the first electrode. The second electrode is coupled to the first substrate and a first impedance is coupled to the first electrode. The detector further includes a power supply coupled to at least the first or second electrode and a first discharge event detector circuitry is coupled to at least one of the first or second electrodes for detecting a gas discharge counting event in the electrode. The detector further includes a plurality of pixels, each pixel capable of outputting a gas discharge pulse upon interaction with ionizing-radiation. Each gas discharge pulse is counted by the detector as having approximately an equal value and circuitry detects if a gas discharge pulse is output from the pixels, and counts each gas discharge pulse as an individual event.

    Abstract: According to the invention, sensors which require a high voltage supply and require little current at least for temporary periods are supplied by an blocking oscillator with a high degree of efficiency. The efficiency of said blocking oscillator is due to the low inverse current of the rectifier, the blockage recovery time being short at the same time, the low consumption of the controlling system, and economical and therefore inexpensive voltage measurement. In particular, batteries with an especially long life can be used.

    Abstract: An improved particle detection tube including a method for applying a radion transparent electrically non-conductive, opaque to ultraviolet light coating to the mica window of the tube. The coating reduces erroneous counts by preventing arcing between the tube anode and window. A purified mineral bituminous hydrocarbon based wax coating is applied to the mica window by cleaning the window with a hydrocarbon or chlorinated solvent rinsing with isopropyl alcohol drying the window dissolving 4 to 20 milligrams of purified bituminous hydrocarbon based wax in 1 to 2 milliliters of a hydrocarbon or chlorinated solvent on the window, and rotating the tube until the solvent evaporates to produce a film of the wax thereon.

    Abstract: A support element (17), an upright support (16) formed of such elements (17) and a support structure (10) further including cranks (11) or shelves supported by the upright supports (16) over described. The structure (10) is intended for supporting ware such as plates in a fast firing kiln. The elements (17) have enlarged apertures (18) with projections (19) on their lower borders to support hooked terminal portions (15) of the cranks loosely, allowing release of thermal stresses and free circulation of kiln gases.
