Abstract:
Sealed electrode mounting, in a spark discharge chamber, comprising a plane cathode and, parallel thereto, two latticeshaped electrodes constituting an auxiliary electrode and anode enclosed in a space forming the spark discharge chamber, the electrodes being along its entire circumference in electrically conductive connection with an electrically conductive material surrounding the periphery of the respective electrodes and extending through sealing means, which run along said electrical material, and out from the spark discharge chamber.
Abstract:
An electron gun filament support structure in which the electron-emitting filaments are held in place by a plurality of opposing leaf springs. In a preferred embodiment, the springs are mounted on a filament tray, with the leaf of each spring extending substantially perpendicularly to the tray. Each leaf has one or more slots in its upper edge. The arms of each slot curve substantially outwardly from the opposing leaf springs, whereby a filament having enlarged end portions inserted in the slots of opposing leaf springs is held firmly in place under tension. Damaged or destroyed filaments may readily be removed and new filaments inserted by pressing opposed leafs toward each other, removing one filament, inserting another, and releasing the springs.
Abstract:
A new type of support for filaments in incandescent lamps and vacuum tubes is disclosed. The support is nonconductive, able to resist high temperatures, rigid, malleable, and it eliminates variation in rating and stability of rating in lamps and tubes caused by filament contact with the support.

Abstract:
A high-voltage insulation device (300) for use in a charged-particle optical apparatus comprises a plurality of rigid pillars (320) made of electrically insulating material. These pillars (320) are arranged around a central passage (310) which traverses the insulating device along its longitudinal axis (L), and the two ends of each pillar are configured to be respectively fixed to two separate electrostatic housings (221, 231) of the charged-particle optical apparatus by means of two respective end plates (311, 312), with the pillars (320) being oriented at an angle so as to be inclined with regard to said longitudinal axis (L). Advantageously, the pillars are mechanically adjustable with regard to their effective length, and each pillar (320) is arranged outside the central passage with its two ends at either of the first and second end plates (311, 312), preferably in a zig-zag arrangement.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a method for making the sheet-shaped heat and light source. An array of carbon nanotubes on a substrate is provided. A carbon nanotube film is formed by pressing the array of carbon nanotubes. A first electrode and a second electrode are electrically connected with the carbon nanotube film. Furthermore, a method for heating an object is related.
Abstract:
The filament clamp assembly has a pair of bifurcated clamps to hold the connecting leads of a filament within a cavity of a cathode of a separate cathode assembly. The filament clamp assembly is mounted on the insulator block in self-aligning relation. The cathode assembly has a tungsten cathode with an internal cavity to receive the filament that is secured within a retainer shield made of one of tungsten, molybdenum and graphite by a threaded graphite cylindrical collar.
Abstract:

Abstract:
The invention relates to display screens of the plasma panel type. Its subject is more particularly electrically insulating elements such as spacers (12, 15) and/or dielectric layers (4, 6).According to the invention, the spacers (12, 15) and/or the dielectric layers (4, 6) are produced from a polymerizable organic compound.It results therefrom that the highest temperature imposed on the plasma panel during its manufacture can remain lower than a temperature of the sealing of this panel.
