Abstract: Piece of machinery that allows product of any width and any length to be cut into pieces of any size by running the product over a number of saw blades, and then through a second set of saw blades cutting the first pieces into smaller pieces, all with increased production, less staff, better appearance, less waste, and reduced chance of catastrophic worker injury.

Abstract: There is described, for example, a generally cylindrical generator of energetic electrons that releases electrons from a vacuum enclosure into a surrounding space including into the atmosphere where the electrons may be used for a variety of applications including clean up of a flowing gas stream. Described is an efficient electron generator that emits more beam power than past structures in this class of devices and does so in connection with the treatment of gases or surfaces requiring treatment.

Abstract: An array of carbon nanotube electron sources to make an integrated array of RF (radio frequency) sources in a single vacuum envelope. The RF sources can be printed circuit traveling wave tubes.

Abstract: A device for generating electromagnetic radiation including a cathode and an anode. The output port that is integral with the cathode is an electron emitting sheet of material having a low work function for emitting electrons and for a given thickness has a large transmissivity for transmitting radiation. The anode has a target configuration capable of emitting electromagnetic radiation when irradiated by an electron beam. The cathode sheet is supported by a support layer that is selected to be transmissive to the electromagnetic radiation when the cathode sheet must be thin enough to transmit the radiation but is not thick enough to be self supporting. When the support layer is an insulator, electrical connection is made directly to the cathode sheet or to a conducting layer interposed between the cathode sheet and support layer.
