Abstract:
Various embodiments of a vacuum electronic device, a hybrid magnet for a vacuum electronic device and methods of making a hybrid magnet for a vacuum electronic device are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a hybrid magnet for a vacuum electronic device includes a first magnet, a second magnet positioned in spaced-apart relation with the first magnet and defining a gap between the first magnet and the second magnet, and a non-magnetic spacer positioned in a portion of the gap between the first magnet and second magnet and connected to the first magnet and the second magnet.
Abstract:
Deflection apparatus is shown for high perveance ion beams, operating at 20 Hz fundamental and substantially higher order harmonics, having a magnetic structure formed of laminations with thickness in range between 0.2 and 1 millimeter. Additionally, a compensator is shown with similar laminated structures with resonant excitation circuit, operating at 20 Hz or higher, in phase locked relationship with the frequency of the previously deflected beam. Furthermore, features are shown which have broader applicability to producing strong magnetic field in magnetic gap. Among the numerous important features shown are special laminated magnetic structures, including different sets of crosswise laminations in which the field in one lamination of one set is distributed into multiplicity of laminations of the other set of coil-form structures, field detection means and feedback control system, cooling plate attached in thermal contact with number of lamination layers. Surfaces on the entry and exit sides of the compensator magnetic structure have cooperatively selected shapes to increase the length of path exposed to the force field dependently with deflection angle to compensate for contribution to deflection angle caused by higher order components. The entry and exit surfaces of the magnetic scanner and compensator structures cooperating to produce desired beam profile and desired limit on angular deviation of ions within the beam. Also shown is an accelerator comprising a set of accelerator electrodes having slotted apertures, a suppressor electrode at the exit of the electrostatic accelerator, a post-accelerator analyzer magnet having means for adjusting the angle of incidence by laterally moving the post-accelerator analyzer magnet, and a magnet to eliminate aberration created by the post-accelerator analyzer magnet. In the case of use of a spinning substrate carrier for scanning in one dimension, the excitation wave form of the scanner relates changes in scan velocity in inverse dependence with changes in the radial distance of an implant point from the rotation axis. Also an oxygen implantation method is shown with 50 mA ion beam current, the ion beam energy above 100 KeV, and the angular velocity of a rotating carrier above 50 rpm.
Abstract:
This invention provides a tool for tightening and loosening lenses with respect to camera bodies. The tool includes a body that defines a cavity that is slightly larger in diameter than the sidewalls of the lens adjacent the lens face. Within the cavity is a thin, high-friction, elastomeric material that resides between the edges of the lens when the cavity is pressurably engaged over the lens face. The material frictionally couples the tool body to the lens face and adjacent side walls, thereby allowing a predetermined level of torque to be applied to tighten or loosen the lens. The tool can be adapted for attachment to a handle, such as a torque wrench or can include a handle specifically adapted/contoured for grasping by a user's hand.
Abstract:
System for irradiating the surface of a substrate with atomic or molecular ions by rapid scanning of a beam in two dimensions over the surface of the substrate. A scanning system is shown for deflecting the beam in two dimensions relative to a reference axis and a magnetic ion beam transport system following the scanning system is arranged to receive the beam from the scanning system over the range of two dimensional deflections of the scanning system and constructed to impose magnetic field conditions along the beam path of characteristics selected to reorient the two-dimensionally deflected beam to a direction having a predetermined desired relationship with the axis in the two dimensions at the desired instantaneous two dimensional displacement of the beam from the axis, to produce the desired scan of the beam over the substrate. One scanning system includes sequential first and second time-variable-field magnetic scanners, the first scanner having a magnetic gap of volume smaller than that of the second scanner and constructed to scan the beam more rapidly than the second scanner. In another system, the scanners are superposed. The magnetic ion beam transport system presently preferred is a system producing a sequence of three or more quadrupole fields, implemented by a sequence of quadrupoles. Alternate structures are disclosed. The system is capable of depositing atomic or molecular ions with a desired angular and positional uniformity over a wide range of perveance including perveance above 0.02/M[amu].sup.1/2 (mA//keV.sup.3/2) with a constant, adjustable spot size and small beam spread.

Abstract:
A tool for removing a broken incandescent light bulb has a handle with a head projecting therefrom and preferably a resilient gripping member which snugly enshrouds the head, to frictionally engage an inner wall of the base of a broken light bulb such that when the tool is rotated the base can be dislodged from a light bulb socket. In a preferred embodiment a collar with stiffening ribs surrounds the tool, positioned to protect the user's hand from falling shards of glass. In a further preferred embodiment an accessory tool having one or more heads of different sizes is adapted to fit within a hollow end of the handle.

Abstract:
A system for scanning a beam of charged-particles across a target is described which compensates for energy dispersion in the beam. A time-varying magnet with circular pole pieces is used to sweep the beam left to right. Two wedge-shaped magnet dipoles, one on each side of the center line are used to bend the beam parallel to the center line and compensate for beam energy dispersion.
