Abstract:
The present invention discloses a field emission type cold cathode incorporated device, which comprises a field emission type cold cathode having a number of electron emitting sections, said sections having sharp projections, and a vacuum tank for placing the field emission type cold cathode in a vacuum environment. In this device, a partial pressure of particular noble gas in residual gas contained in the vacuum tank is set equal to or lower than C/I (C is a constant and I is a maximum emission current value per one of the number of electron emitting sections during driving of the field emission type cold cathode). Also, in order to set a partial pressure of the particular noble gas in the residual gas contained in the vacuum tank equal to C/I (C: constant) or lower, a partial pressure of the particular residual gas in the vacuum tank is monitored by a mass analyzer during vacuum tank exhaustion.

Abstract:
A computing device (102) includes multiple antennas, one antenna for wireless communication and another antenna for wireless charging. Each antenna is one of multiple coils that are co-located at a particular area of a housing of the computing device. These multiple coils can be configured in various different manners, and are configured such that a first of the multiple coils has an outer periphery and an inner boundary. A second of the multiple coils includes a first portion, a second portion, and a third portion. The first portion of the second coil is positioned about the outer periphery of the first coil, the second portion of the second coil is positioned within the inner boundary of the first coil, and the third portion of the second coil traverses the first coil and interconnects the first and second portions of the second coil.
Abstract:
A lattice energy converter (LEC) is disclosed that produces ionizing radiation and/or electricity based on the thermal energy in the lattice of a specially prepared working electrode comprised in whole or in part of hydrogen host materials that are occluded with hydrogen or the isotopes of hydrogen and wherein the hydrogen host materials may include vacancies, superabundant vacancies, and other lattice defects. When the hydrogen host material is occluded with hydrogen, the LEC was found to self-initiate the production of ionizing radiation and, when the hydrogen host materials are in fluidic contact with a gas or vapor containing hydrogen or isotopes of hydrogen, the LEC was found to self-sustain the production of ionizing radiation. When the LEC includes one or more additional electrodes or electrode structures, the ionizing radiation was found to be converted to electrical energy. Materials that are normally considered to be radioactive are not required.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an electron tube having a configuration which can maintain its operating stability for a long period of time. The electron tube comprises, at least, a field emitter which is made of diamond or a material mainly composed of diamond and has a surface terminated with hydrogen, and a sealed envelope for accommodating the diamond field emitter. Due to the hydrogen termination, the electron affinity of the diamond field emitter is set to a negative state. Also, hydrogen is enclosed within the sealed envelope. Due to this configuration, the hydrogen-terminated state of the diamond field emitter surface is stabilized, and the electron affinity of the diamond emitter is restrained from changing for a long period of time.

Abstract:
With respect to a vacuum tube having a reduced pressure vessel containing an electric discharge gas sealed therein, problems such as the lowering of discharge efficiency owing to an organic material, moisture or oxygen remaining in the reduced pressure vessel have taken place conventionally. It has been now found that the selection of the number of water molecules, the number of molecules of an organic gas and the number of oxygen molecules remaining in the reduced pressure vessel, in a relation with the number of molecules of a gas contributing the electric discharge allows the reduction of the adverse effect by the above-mentioned remaining gas. Specifically, the selection of the number of molecules of the above electric discharge gas being about ten times that of the above-mentioned remaining gas or more can reduce the adverse effect by the above-mentioned remaining gas.
