Abstract: An arc discharge lamp (10) has a lamp envelope (12) and an arc discharge vessel (14) mounted within the envelope (12). An arc centering structure (60) is positioned within the arc discharge vessel for substantially centering the arc. The centering structure (60) is preferably fixedly mounted within the arc discharge vessel (14) and preferably comprises a metal annulus (62) that incandesces during lamp operation and adds to the light output of the lamp. In a preferred embodiment, the lamp is suitable for vertical or horizontal operation.

The discharge lamp comprises a lamp body 1, a reflector 2 having the lamp body 1, and a front glass fitted on a front portion of the reflector 2, wherein the reflector 2 has vent holes 4 in which mesh sheets 6 or perforated plates 5 are fitted.

Abstract: High fluence charged-particle beams are generated in a vacuum or near vacuum environment. To use these beams in an atmospheric pressure environment, they must pass through some form of transmission window between the two environments. To date, thin single metal foils have been used for these transmission windows. The total practical fluence of such transmitted beams is limited by the ability of the window to dissipate the excess heat deposited in it by the transiting beam. Existing windows have relied only on simple radial heat conduction through the thin foil, radiative cooling from the foil faces, and/or flowing cooling fluids on the high-pressure face of the foil. The present invention, however, proposes to enclose one or more channels within a double foil window and to flow a cooling fluid through such channel(s). The window cooling rate is thus significantly improved over air convection because of fully-developed turbulent flow and a higher cooling mass transport through such channels(s).

Abstract: A high pressure discharge lamp is disclosed. The high pressure discharge lamp includes: a discharge tube which is filled with gas; a first electrode having a first end, the first electrode being provided in the discharge tube; and a second electrode having a second end which is positioned away from the first end by a certain distance, the second electrode being provided in the discharge tube. In the high pressure discharge lamp, arc discharge is induced by a voltage applied between the first end of the first electrode and the second end of the second electrode. The high pressure discharge lamp further includes a convection regulating member which is electrically insulating and provided in the discharge tube. The convection regulating member suppresses the deformation of the arc discharge caused by the convection of the gas in the discharge tube.

Abstract: A coupler contains cooling liquid between the front face of a projection tube and a lens that forms the screen of a projection television receiver. The coupler has a multiplicity of large and small fins extending into the cooling liquid and parallel to the center line of the tube to dissipate heat. The fins are closely spaced from each other.

Abstract: For the glow discharge between a receptacle and a workpiece, the glow discharge path is connected in series with a first switch. A capacitor circuit is charged via the glow discharge path and two diodes. By closing a switch, the previously positive pole of the capacitor circuit is set to the zero potential, whereby the potential of the other pole is shifted negative. By closing a switch, the capacitor circuit is discharged through the glow discharge path while the first switch is closed. Upon the discharging of the capacitor circuit, the supply voltage continues to be present at the glow discharge path for the remaining pulse time. In the initial range, the voltage pulses have a pulse peak for ignition followed by a maintenance range, the height of which corresponds to the supply voltage.

Abstract: A directly-heated cathode for power electron tubes such as triodes, tetrodes or pentodes comprises a cylindrical sleeve constituted by a lattice of crossed wires forming the emissive portion of the cathode and by two conductive plates attached respectively to each end of the sleeve. In order to permit free deformation of the cathode, a flexible metallic bellows element is fixed between one of the plates and the corresponding end of the cylindrical sleeve.

Abstract: A resistor device for attenuating radio frequency power includes a radio frequency conductor connected to a series of fins formed of high relative magnetic permeability material. The fins are dimensional to accommodate the skin depth of the current conduction therethrough, as well as an inner heat conducting portion where current does not travel. Thermal connections for air or water cooling are provided for the inner heat conducting portions of each fin. Also disclosed is a resistor device to selectively alternate unwanted radio frequency energy in a resonant cavity.
