Abstract:
An emitter containing a metal boride material has an at least partly rounded tip with a radius of 1 μm or less. An electric field can be applied to the emitter and an electron beam is generated from the emitter. To form the emitter, material is removed from a single crystal rod to form an emitter containing a metal boride material having a rounded tip with a radius of 1 μm or less.

Abstract:
High voltage high current regulator circuit for regulating current is interposed between first and second terminals connected to an external circuit and comprises at least one main-current carrying cold-cathode field emission electron tube conducting current between the first and second terminals. First and second grid-control cold-cathode field emission electron tubes provide control signals for first and second grids of the at least one main-current carrying cold-cathode field emission electron tube for positive and negative excursions of voltage on the first and second terminals, respectively. The current regulator circuit may be accompanied by a voltage-clamping circuit that includes at least one cold-cathode field emission electron tube. At least two cold-cathode field emission electron tubes, configured to operate at high voltage and high current, are preferably contained within a single vacuum enclosure and are interconnected to provide a circuit function, so as to form a high voltage high current vacuum integrated circuit.

Abstract:
An electronic power regulation control device for providing constant electric power to a load of varying impedance. The device may be operated to provide degenerative or regenerative regulation with varying load peaks. The device does not require feedback but under certain conditions feedback may enhance the performance. The basic power regulating device is a thermionic electron device wherein the voltage-current characteristic approximates the ideal hyperbolic curve of constant power. This is accomplished by combining the characteristics of a current limiting, temperature limited thermionic diode in conjunction with that of a thermionic triode in a parallel combination. It is also possible to combine the functions of a control diode of high perveance and a control diode of low perveance to also approach a characteristic curve of constant power.
