  • Patent number: 7049736
    Abstract: Background plasma electrons in a laser wake field are trapped and accelerated using a sharp downward density transition. A short and intense laser pulse travels through low density plasma with a sharp downward density transition. The density transition scale length is much smaller than the wavelength of a laser wake wave. As the laser wake wave passes the density transition, its wavelength increases suddenly so that some background plasma electrons are self-injected into the acceleration phase of the wake field and trapped and accelerated by the strong laser wake field.

    Abstract: The present invention provides a system for integrating a linear motion guide and a linear induction motor that can commonly employ a stationary member between the linear induction motor and the linear motion guide so that a complicated connection structure between a conventional linear motion guide and a conventional linear induction motor can be removed. In the system, a stationary unit interconnects a stationary member of the linear motion guide and a stationary member of the linear induction motor, and a movable unit interconnects a movable member of the linear motion guide and a movable member of the linear induction motor. As an existing linear transport device requiring both the linear induction motor and the linear motion guide can be simplified, an installation space of the device can be reduced, device manufacturing and maintenance costs can be reduced, and clean straight-line transport can be implemented.

  • Patent number: 6492878
    Abstract: A high voltage pulse generation device for magnetron is disclosed. The device is divided into a DC voltage generation part, which continuously applies a variable DC voltage at a constant value to the load, and a pulse voltage generation part, which generates a momentary high voltage pulse and supplies the same to the load. The voltage applied to the load is a superposition of the output voltages from the two devices. Further, a pulse transformer demagnetization power supply is provided. A high voltage pulse waveform is obtained by momentary resonance and the pulse transformer using a low voltage at the time of pulse generation, thereby reducing the insulation space required and the size and the weight of the device. It is also possible to adjust the peak value and pulse cycle of the DC voltage applied to the load in addition to the pulse voltage.
