Abstract:
A halogen filament lamp for copying purposes in which the filament is constructed from filament segments which are connected together by intermediate members; each intermediate member is formed from a helically wound wire which forms one assembly with the adjacent filament segments, a short-circuiting wire being wound across the winding of said intermediate member.
Abstract:
A heater support loop for use in the multicathode gun of a cathode ray tube. The loop is made from a single piece of conductive material, which is ribbon-like in cross section and preformed into a generally triangular shape with pointed terminations, or apex portions, ''''glassed'''' into vitreous assembly rods. Three gaps are provided in the ribbon, intermediate the apexes of the loop, and the free ends adjoining the gaps are positioned to accept the connections of the filamentary heaters. Two of the apex portions of the loop are formed of short, straight runs of ribbon which form the point and interlock with the vitreous rod to prevent twisting of the ribbon material in the rod. The third apex is formed by free ends of the conductive ribbon disposed in closely spaced adjacency and each free end includes a portion bent outwardly and rearwardly from the adjoining end to provide for interlocking engagement with the embedding vitreous rod and extending into position to serve as a supply conductor for the loop.
Abstract:
An electric filament or gas discharge lamp comprising a tubular glass lamp vessel which is sealed at one end by a pinch seal and has a number of filaments or electrodes supported by stiff current conductors or members. The conductors or members are passed through a common transverse support and are secured to a metal foil connection outside of the pinch seal and preferably in the space of the lamp vessel.
Abstract:
IMPROVED MEANS ARE PROVIDED FOR SUPPORTING AND SHIELDING A COMPACT ELECTRON GUN WITHIN THE NECK PORTION OF A CATHODE RAY TUBE. AN ANNULAR MEMBER, DIMENSIONED TO CLOSELY APPROACH THE INTERNAL DIAMETER OF THE NECK, IS FORMED FOR ATTACHMENT TO AT LEAST THREE SPACED-APART STEM LEADS. AN OPEN-ENDED CLOSED-WALL PORTION, UPSTANDING FROM THE CENTRAL APERTURE OF THE ANNULAR MEMBER, IS DIMENSIONED TO ENCOMPASS THE WHOLE OF THE ELECTRON GUM THEREIN. GUN RETENTION MEANS ARE EMPLOYED TO HOLD THE GUM WITHIN THE CLOSED-WALL PORTION IN A MANNER THAT THE FORWARD END OF THE GUN IS POSITIONED AT THE TERMINAL THEREOF.
Abstract:
An ozone-generating apparatus includes: a plurality of discharge tubes each including: a first electrode having a tubular shape extending along a first axis; a second electrode extending along the first axis; and a dielectric extending along the first axis and disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode, the plurality of discharge tubes including a first discharge tube and a second discharge tube adjacent to the first discharge tube; and a connecting member electrically connecting the second electrode of the first discharge tube to the second electrode of the second discharge tube. The connecting member faces an end of the dielectric of the first discharge tube and an end of the dielectric of the second discharge tube.
Abstract:
A charged particle beam source that may include an emitter that has a tip for emitting charged particles; a socket; electrodes; a filament that is connected to the electrodes and to the emitter; electrodes for providing electrical signals to the filament; a support element that is connected to the emitter; and a support structure that comprises one or more interfaces for contacting only a part of the support element while supporting the support element.
Abstract:
Various embodiments provide a bearing element for an electrode rod in a lamp stem. The bearing element includes an envelope configured in order to extend along a longitudinal axis of the electrode rod. The envelope has a polygonally shaped cross section at least in sections.
Abstract:
A novel electron emitting device that has a small fissure to realize electron emission. Thin electrodes of anode and cathode of this novel emitter are not coplanar, instead they are placed on 2 intersecting surface and anode-cathode fissure is placed on top or near the top edge of these two intersecting surfaces. Preferably, the shape of the substrate is a 3-dimentional object with cylindrical shape with a cross section similar to triangle, bell shape or 2 intersecting parabolic curves (final shape of the substrate is somehow wedge shaped).
Abstract:
A gas discharge vuv light source is disclosed having low inductance and a high intensity output covering a range from 90 A to 6000 A. The source comprises a capillary defining a first bore removably, and at least partially, mounted within an air-cooled ceramic insulator; a first, hollow, cylindrical electrode having a removable insert defining a second bore disposed in end-to-end, coaxial relationship with one end of the capillary, and a second, hollow electrode which is configured to define a cavity and so as both to support the insulator such that the first and second bores are coaxially aligned with the cavity, and to releasably support either a tubular insert or a finned plate insert; and metallic vacuum seals connecting the electrodes to the insulator such that a gas-tight seal is formed between each electrode and the insulator at locations isolated from the first and second bores and from the cavity.
Abstract:
An electric high-voltage apparatus such as an electron accelerator or the like includes a tank having a wall and a tank access located in the wall for making the interior of the tank accessible. An electrical discharge vessel is disposed in the tank and contains replaceable parts. The vessel has a wall and is insulatingly spaced from the tank wall. A vessel access is located in the vessel wall for making the replaceable parts accessible. A tube-like air lock device having a longitudinal axis is movable in the tank transversely to this axis from a given rest position to an operative position located between the tank access and said vessel access. The device includes expansion structure for defining a gas-tight passage between the vessel access and the tank access when the device is in the operative position thereof.
