Abstract: An electron multiplier device formed of the combination of a support made of high temperature-resisting electrically-insulating ceramic material and of a layer of secondary electron emitting semi-conducting glass material fused to the inner wall of the ceramic material and method of making; the multiplier device is further characterized in that the ceramic material and the glass material have substantially the same coefficient of expansion. The device is made by pouring molten semi-conducting glass into at least one channel in a ceramic support having a higher fusion point than that of the glass and the same coefficient of expansion, flowing the glass under pressure through the channel and cooling to leave a semi-conductor wall to the channel.

Abstract: This invention relates to an apparatus for producing textured products which comprises means for producing a dispersion of raw products, means forming filaments from the dispersion, means establishing a fluid medium, means for feeding the filaments into the fluid medium, and means for coagulating the filaments. Given .DELTA.v, the difference between the speed at which the fluid medium travels and the speed at which the filaments are introduced into the fluid medium, the apparatus can be adjusted in the following manner:.DELTA.v < 0,product: cotton-like bundle of cut-up filaments;.DELTA.v = 0,product: filament with large cross-section and undulated outer surface;.DELTA.v > 0,product: thread-like continuous filament with small cross-section.
