Abstract: A cap can comprise an aperture, and an attenuator may block the aperture during at least one point in time. In one embodiment, the attenuator can include a cover that may be displaced by a spring. In another embodiment, such as an electron gun, may comprise a support cap with an aperture, a displaceable cover that may cover the aperture, and a spring. A material attached to the spring and acting as a fuse may release the spring and expose the aperture after an electrical current blows the “fuse”. In yet another embodiment, a method for using a tube may comprise evacuating the tube while a cover covers an aperture in the support cap of a electron gun that is at least partially in the tube and moving the cover to expose the aperture after the tube is sealed.

Abstract: Optical patterns and lithographic techniques are used as part of a process to embed parallel and evenly spaced conductors in the non-planar surfaces of an insulator to produce high gradient insulators. The approach extends the size that high gradient insulating structures can be fabricated as well as improves the performance of those insulators by reducing the scale of the alternating parallel lines of insulator and conductor along the surface. This fabrication approach also substantially decreases the cost required to produce high gradient insulators.

Abstract: In the present invention, a cathode for an x-ray tube is formed with a large area flat emitter. To reduce the aberrations to a minimum the emission area in the flat emitter has a non-rectangular shape and focusing pads arranged around the emitter. In an exemplary embodiment, the flat emitter has a non-rectilinear polygonal shape for an emission area on the emitter in order to increase the emission current from the emitter at standard voltage levels without the need to run the emitters at a higher temperature, add additional emitters to the cathode and/or to coat the emitters with a low work function material.

Abstract: A photomultiplier tube comprises an evacuated envelope having a photoemissive cathode therein. A cage assembly including an anode and a plurality of closely spaced dynodes are within the envelope. The anode has at least one support rod. Each of the dynodes has a pair of dynode tabs formed in the ends thereof. A pair of dynode support spacers having a plurality of stress isolation apertures and electrode support apertures formed therethrough are provided for supporting the dynodes and the anode. The dynode tabs and the anode support rod extend through the electrode support apertures. A plurality of deformable stress isolation eyelets comprising a tubular shank with a flare formed in one end of the shank are disposed within a different one of the stress isolation apertures. The flare diameter is greater than the diameter of the stress isolation apertures thereby retaining the eyelets within the apertures. A second end of the tubular shank, opposite the flared end, extends outwardly from the dynode support spacers. The outwardly extending end portion is crimped to lock the eyelets within the stress isolation apertures. Nickel leads are provided for flexibly interconnecting the crimped end portion of a different one of each of the eyelets to one end of each of the dynodes and to one end of the anode support rod. A stem closes one end of the envelope. A plurality of relatively stiff cage assembly support leads extend through the stem and are welded to the crimped end portion of the eyelets thereby firmly securing the cage assembly to the support leads and indirectly connecting the support leads to the dynodes and the anode.

Abstract: A low volume, lightweight, high voltage electron gun having an overall size and weight of approximately 50% the size and weight of a conventional electron gun of the same output. This is accomplished by interposing between the cathode and the walls of the housing of the electron gun a thin piece of dielectric material of preselected breakdown strength. The dielectric material is in direct contact with both the cathode and the housing of the electron gun, with the voltage stress between the walls of the housing and the cathode being such that it does not exceed the breakdown strength of the dielectric material.
