Abstract: An electronic device includes an elongated tubular housing. One or more electronic components are coupled to a chassis disposed in a cavity of the tubular housing. A pair of elongated channels are positioned on opposite sides of the chassis and between the chassis and a sidewall of the tubular housing. The channels are tapered or wedge-shaped along their lengths. During assembly, one of the channels may be slid longitudinally along the other, causing the channels to expand laterally, due to their wedge shape, to secure the chassis in the tubular housing. The chassis and the pair of channels provide a thermally conductive path to dissipate heat. During use, heat generated by the electronic components is transmitted radially outward from the electronic components, through the chassis and the pair of channels, and through the tubular housing to the exterior of the portable electronic device.

Abstract: A circuit for driving a Light-Emitting Diode (LED) light source is provided. The circuit includes a bridge rectifier, a switch unit, a current detection unit and a logic control unit.

Thus, the arcing is eliminated or suppressed, and arcing protection is achieved. Further, after the arcing protection, the LED light source can be restarted by the circuit. A LED light source is also provided. The LED light source includes the above circuit.

Abstract: An implosion protection-enhanced cathode ray tube (CRT) includes an evacuated envelope structured from a display panel section, a neck, and a funnel section. The CRT comes with a reinforcing metal band for implosion protection clamped by thermal shrink-fit methods around the outer periphery of the panel. This implosion-protective band may be a metal strip of generally rectangular closed-loop shape. The strip is machined to have bent walls so that it resembles in shape an open-roof dome as a whole. Preferably, the band has its one edge as folded back or "curled" defining a "flip." Upon attachment to the display panel, the band is placed so that the "peak" of each bulged wall is offset in position from a mold match line of the panel toward the CRT neck. With such "band preoffset" feature, the implosion-protective band offers increased locking or clamping forces against the panel thus enhancing the CRT implosion protecting ability.

Electrons emitted from the first cathode are caused to bombard the second anode to emit X-radiation therefrom where the electrons are then conducted to and emitted by the second cathode to bombard the first anode to again emit X-radiation therefrom. The X-radiation emitted from the first and second anodes passes through the first and second cathodes to a target.
