Abstract:
A high intensity discharge lamp (10) has an envelope (12) having a base end (12a), a middle portion (12b) and domed end (12c) arrayed along an envelope longitudinal axis (14). Two spaced apart electrical lead-ins (34, 36) are sealed in the base end (12a) and extend into the envelope (12). A substantially U-shaped frame (38) is within the envelope (12) and the U-shaped frame comprises glass tubing 26a. A light source (16) has an arc discharge capsule (16b) positioned within the frame (38) and a containment vessel (18) is spaced from and surrounds the arc discharge capsule 16b. The containment vessel (18) comprises a transparent structure (19) attached to the frame (38) and formed to provide multiple, independent, localized fractures capable of absorbing the given kinetic energy possessed by the shards.
Abstract:
A light source has a rear glass substrate and a front glass substrate having a plate surface disposed in facing relation to a principal surface of the rear glass substrate. The plate surface of the front glass substrate is coated with a phosphor. A two-dimensional array of electron emitters is disposed on the principal surface of the rear glass substrate. A space defined between the rear glass substrate and the front glass substrate is filled with a gas. The gas may be an Hg (mercury) gas or an Xe (xenon) gas.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a multi-channel flat tube for heat exchangers that contains at least two channels extending along its length and arranged essentially adjacent to each other along its width passable by fluid, or at least two channel sections formed by one or several of said channels, whereby between the channels or the channel sections over the length of the flat tube one region of reduced heat transmission in each case is provided, characterized by that the region of reduced heat transmission is defined by a connecting web and isolating channels arranged on both sides of the connecting web. The transverse heat conduction within the flat tube is reduced by this arrangement.
Abstract:
A field emission display device includes three parts: a cathode emitter unit, an electron amplification unit, and a faceplate unit. The primary emission of electrons emitted from the cathode emitter unit bombards an electrode layer that includes an electron amplification material in order to generate secondary emissions of electrons. The secondary emissions of electrons bombard a light-emitting layer of the faceplate unit to generate fluorescence. Then, the fluorescence is transmitted through a transparent faceplate for viewing.
Abstract:
A method for fabricating an anode plate of field emission luminescent device is provided. The method includes the steps of forming a metal layer on a substrate by using the physical or chemical deposition, printing a pattered protection layer on the metal layer, and sintering the pattered protection layer and oxidizing a potion of the metal layer, which is not covered by the pattered protection layer, so as to form a pattered electrode on the metal layer.
Abstract:
A carbon film of the present invention has an elongated needle shape whose radius decreases toward a tip. The shape is, preferably, a shape in which a field concentration coefficient β in the Fowler-Nordheim equation is expressed by h/r where r denotes the radius in an arbitrary position and h denotes height from the arbitrary position to the tip.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to gated nanorod field emission devices, wherein such devices have relatively small emitter tip-to-gate distances, thereby providing a relatively high emitter tip density and low turn on voltage. Such methods employ a combination of traditional device processing techniques (lithography, etching, etc.) with electrochemical deposition of nanorods. These methods are relatively simple, cost-effective, and efficient; and they provide field emission devices that are suitable for use in x-ray imaging applications, lighting applications, flat panel field emission display (FED) applications, etc.
Abstract:
In a converging-type electron-emission source of a field-emission display, a substrate is provided and a silver paste is used to form a first electrode layer on the substrate by the process such as thick-film photolithography or screen-printing. A carbon nanotube is formed on the first electrode layer by thick-film photolithography or screen-printing, and a second electrode is formed on the carbon nanotube. A third electrode layer is formed on the first electrode layer around the second electrode layer by thick-film photolithography or screen-printing. The third electrode layer is higher than the second electrode layer, such that a converging exit is formed around the second electrode layer. A sintering step is performed. When the electron beam is generated, the electron beam is concentrated at the center of the converging exit to impinge a phosphor layer of an anode without causing gamut.
Abstract:
A stem and lamp capsule are connected together as an assembly using a retainer such that the stem is clamped to one end of the retainer and the capsule is clamped to the other end of the retainer. An oxidizable fuse is connected between leads of the capsule and electrical conductors of the stem. The retainer maintains the rigidity of the assembly and keeps a constant distance between the stem and the lamp capsule so that the repeatability and failure parameters of the fuse length can be maintained within acceptable tolerance.
