Abstract: A Lucent Waveguide Electromagnetic wave Plasma Light Source has a fabrication of fused quartz sheet and drawn tube. An inner closed void enclosure is formed of 8 mm outside diameter, 4 mm inside diameter drawn tube. Electromagnetic wave excitable plasma material is sealed inside the enclosure. The end plate is circular and has the enclosure sealed in a central bore in it, the bore not being numbered as such. A similar plate is positioned to leave a small gap between the inner end of the enclosure and itself. The two tubes are concentric with the two plates extending at right angles to their central axis. The outer tube extends back from the back surface of the inner plate as a skirt.

Abstract: A microwave excited ultraviolet lamp system with a data logging and retrieval circuit and method for operating the same. The data logging and retrieval circuit stores operational data in a cache memory using a FIFO data storage protocol. The contents of the cache memory are periodically copied to a larger removable memory so that the removable memory contains a relatively long historical record of the system operational parameters. The data logging and retrieval circuit includes a data port configured to load the contents of the cache memory into an external device when the device is coupled to the data port. A second data port allows the external device to supply power to the data logging and retrieval circuit so that data may be retrieved when the internal power supply is malfunctioning. Data stored in the removable memory may be protected so that it may only be accessed by authorized personnel.

Abstract: To the common point C of two transistors of a magnetron, switched converter power circuit is connected a coupling capacitor which provides input to a starter circuit. A transistor switch is in series with the capacitor and a diode. When the switch is off no current flows in D11. When the switch is made, D11 conducts during alternate halves of cycles present at C. A second diode also conducts and allows current to pass through discharge capacitor. This progressively charges until the voltage across it reaches the breakdown voltage of a gas discharge tube GTD. Whereupon the capacitor discharges through the primary winding of transformer TR2. The secondary winding has many more turns and a starter voltage is induced in the starter electrode. This is isolated from the Faraday cage and terminates adjacent the crucible, close to the void.

Abstract translation: 对于磁控管的两个晶体管的公共点C，开关转换器电源电路连接到向起动器电路提供输入的耦合电容器。 晶体管开关与电容器和二极管串联。 当开关关闭时，D11中没有电流流过。 当开关切换时，D11在C周期的交替半周期间导通。第二个二极管也导通并允许电流通过放电电容。 逐渐充电直到其两端的电压达到气体放电管GTD的击穿电压。 于是电容器通过变压器TR2的初级绕组放电。 次级绕组具有更多的匝数，并且在起动电极中感应起动电压。 这是从法拉第笼子中分离出来的，靠近坩埚，靠近空隙。

Abstract: A self-cooling screw bulb-type electromagnetic induction lamp comprises a bulb body, an inner tube, amalgam and a coupler, wherein the inner tube is arranged inside the bulb body, and the coupler is arranged inside the inner tube; besides, the lamp further comprises a screw-type lamp cap and a radiating piece, wherein the bulb body is connected on the screw-type lamp cap through the radiating piece, and the coupler is connected with the radiating piece. The disclosure effectively solves the problem that the installation of the electromagnetic induction lamp is incompatible with the conventional lighting fitting, while effectively improving the heat-radiating efficiency and the performances, thereby facilitating the promotion, popularization, application and development of the electromagnetic induction lamp.

Abstract: A plasma lamp for an electrodeless plasma lamp having a shaped dielectric waveguide body. The shaped body may have a relatively thin region containing a bulb, and a second region thicker than the first region. Microwave probes may be positioned in the second region to provide power to the waveguide body. The body may be shaped to intensify the electric field in the first region adjacent to the bulb to allow operation at a lower frequency than a solid cylindrical or rectangular waveguide body having the same volume and dielectric constant.

Abstract: A lamp and methods of forming are shown. In one example, a dielectric layer is formed over a gap between conductors in a plasma lamp. Electric arcing is reduced or eliminated, thus allowing tighter gaps and/or higher voltages. In one example a glass frit method is used to apply the dielectric layer. A lamp is shown with a barrier layer that prevents tarnish such as tarnish from sulfur exposure. The barrier layer reduces or prevents degradation of the lamp due to conversion of a conductor material to non-conductive tarnish material.
