Abstract:
A ceramic metal halide lamp assembly (A) includes an elongated support or member wire (70) that provides both electrical connection and centering of the arctube within the lamp assembly. The support wire has at least one bent region (80) that extends over at least ninety degrees of the inner circumference of the capsule. Preferably, the bent region is disposed between the pinch seal region and the arc chamber so that it does not adversely impact on the desired beam pattern of the lamp assembly.
Abstract:
In a discharge lamp which has a silica glass discharge vessel with an arc tube portion and hermetically sealed portions in which in the hermetically sealed portions of this discharge vessel metal foils are installed and hermetically sealed areas are formed, in accordance with the invention has a high endurance of the sealing action in the hermetically sealed areas and thus a long service life is obtained by a coating layer being formed on at least one side of the respective metal foil. The coating layer is formed from at least one metal oxide which is selected from titanium oxide, lanthanum oxide, tantalum oxide, zirconium dioxide which can contain yttrium oxide, and from hafnium dioxide which can contain yttrium oxide. Furthermore, the metal oxide which forms the coating layer is advantageously crystalline, and moreover, can be formed over a base layer which is made of aluminum oxide or yttrium oxide.

Abstract:
A fluorescent lamp comprises a glass tubular body defining a discharge space, and first and second electrode assemblies mounted in the discharge space in opposition to each other, each of the electrode assemblies comprising a first electrode and a second electrode. Each of the first electrodes comprises a metal lead wire with an electron-emitting material disposed on a free end thereof, and each of the second electrodes comprises a cup-shaped tube coaxially surrounding one of the first electrodes and the electron-emitting material disposed on the first electrode. The second electrode tube and the electron emitting material therein form an annular gap therebetween.
Abstract:
A fluorescent lamp of this invention has a phosphor film formed on the inner wall surface and a discharge medium containing xenon-gas filled in the glass tube having the sealing portions at both ends. In this one end in the glass tube, an inner electrode is arranged and a first feeding lead wire connected to this inner electrode is connected to one of the sealing portion by penetrating airtight. On the outer surface of the glass tube, an outer electrode composed of a conductor spirally wound round it along the axial direction of the tube. At the other end of the glass tube, a second feeding lead wire is buried in the sealing portion and the other end is lead out of the glass tube. The end of this outer electrode is electrically connected to the second feeding lead wire and mechanically fixed there. Further, the outer surface of the outer electrode including the glass tube is covered with a translucent resin film layer and thereby, fixing the outer electrode to the outer surface of the glass tube in one united body.
Abstract:
A gas discharge lamp has electrodes of Ba(Ti1−xZrx)O3 with donor/acceptor dopants. Specific donor/acceptor combinations, an optimized content of zirconium and an optimized atomic ratio between the cations leads to ferroelectric ceramic exhibiting high values of the remnant polarization Pr and the dielectric constant &ggr;r, as well as rectangular hysteresis loop and low coercive field strengths Ec. When an alternating voltage is applied to the ferroelectric electrodes, the non-linear properties of the electrodes bring about the ignition of the lamp as well as the continuous operation thereof.

Abstract:
A high-pressure discharge lamp is effective to prevent initial blackening on an outer casing thereof, is of a long service life, and can easily be manufactured. A tungsten wire is wound as a double coiled winding around an electrode metal rod, leaving a tip end thereof, and the double coiled winding is machined into a melted tip end by a YAG laser beam, with the remaining double coiled winding used as a coil. The left tip end of the metal rod is machined into a nipple on the distal end of the melted tip end. If it is assumed that the melted tip end has a diameter D1 and a length L1 up to its distal end, the nipple has a proximal end having a diameter D2 and a length L2 from the proximal end up to the distal end thereof, and the coil and the melted tip end (including the nipple) have a volume V1 and the melted tip end (including the nipple) has a volume V2, then the electrode assembly is machined to satisfy at least one of the conditions 0.15≦D2/D1≦0.3, 0.2≦L2/L1≦0.4, and 0.2≦V2/V1≦0.4. The machined electrode assembly is incorporated as an electrode into a lamp bulb.
