Abstract: A lamp includes a discharge sustaining fill which includes cesium halide, one of indium halide and thallium halide, optionally gadolinium halide and a rare earth halide component selected from dysprosium halide, holmium halide, thulium halide, and neodymium halide. In operation without a jacket, the lamp may have a color temperature of from 7,000K to 14,000K and a color rendering index of at least 70 when operated at an arc wall loading in excess of about 2 W/mm2.

Abstract: A hollow cathode discharge tube is used for atomic absorption analysis. The tube has a cathode which includes a first hollow portion and a second hollow portion connected to each other. The second hollow portion has a diameter greater than the first hollow portion and a close end. Inserted through the closed end is a rod-like anode which has a part within the hollow space of the cathode. There is a auxiliary electrode which can be an auxiliary anode that surrounds the rod-like anode and is insulated therefrom. There is an additional electrode which can be an auxiliary cathode at the front end portion of the cathode. The cathode is formed of a material that is a material or includes a material that is to be analyzed.

Abstract: A large output discharge lamp comprising rod-like electrodes having confronting ends defining therebetween the discharge gap and being disposed in a bulb body. The other ends of the electrodes extend sealingly into two oppositely extending side tube which are integrally formed with the bulb body. Molybdenum foils are connected respectively with the electrodes and disposed and sealed respectively in the side tubes. Flexible metal pieces are respectively connected with the molybdenum foils and are disposed in the side tubes and outwards of the molydenum foils. Lead rods are connected respectively with the flexible metal pieces through molybdenum cups and disposed in the side tubes. The outer end portions of the side tubes are sealed and bases are respectively mounted thereon which are connected to the lead rods respectively.

Abstract: A hermetically sealable package for electronic component comprising a metallic base member and a metallic lid member, in which the metallic base member has lead wires penetrating therethrough under insulation. The base member or lid member is provided on its periphery with a protrusion for welding. The protrusion can be terraced. The sealing can be made by an independently prepared sealing member to be inserted between the sealing area of the base member and the sealing area of the lid member. The protrusion or the sealing member can be prepared by an etching technology.
