Abstract: The present invention identifies several configurations of conducting elements capable of supporting extremely high magnetic fields suitable for plasma confinement, wherein forces experienced by the conducting elements are significantly reduced over those which are present as a result of the generation of such high fields by conventional techniques. It is anticipated that the use of superconducting materials will both permit the attainment of such high fields and further permit such fields to be generated with vastly improved efficiency.

Abstract: When accelerating charged particles on synchrotron acceleration basis by using a circular accelerator having a RF acceleration cavity, the detuned amount representative of an offset between oscillation frequency of a RF oscillator for the RF acceleration cavity and resoance frequency of the RF acceleration cavity and the RF power for supplying the charged particles with energy are controlled in compliance with changes in energy of the charged particles without changing the oscillation frequency. A great number of charged particles injected into the circular accelerator can be accelerated to the ultimate storage energy during the acceleration on synchrotron acceleration basis without causing charged particle beam loss.

Abstract: This invention provides an illumination device capable of producing large animated displays using glowing neon or other noble gases without the need for a source of high voltage as is required in normal neon signs. By means of large numbers of electrode pairs, gas discharge across the gas passage rather than along the gas passage enables low voltages to excite the flowing gas discharge while still giving the appearance of the continuous discharge seen in normal neon signs. The use of mixtures of luminescent phosphors of different luminescent decay times allows the hue of the illumination device to be electrically controlled by means of the frequency with which the discharge is excited. The controlled, sequential activation of any given electrode pair further allows the illumination device to give the appearance of animation, and the use of front and rear mirrors enables an infinite series of multiple, animated, illuminated images to be displayed.

Abstract: An aluminum substrate which supports a scintillator transforms X-rays into visible or nearly visible light radiation which is converted into a flux of electrons by means of a photocathode. The flux produces a visible image on an exit screen through electro-optical means.

A layer having a low optical index can be inserted between the scintillator and the photocathode. A chemical barrier may also be inserted between the scintillator and the photocathode. An electrically conductive and optically transparent layer can be inserted between the photocathode and the chemical barrier.

Abstract: In a color picture tube apparatus, a deflection unit is provided around a color picture tube and a leakage magnetic is generated from the deflection unit. A metal cover made of aluminum, which covers an electrical power source is located in a space to which leakage magnetic field is reached and a first opposition magnetic field is generated from the metal cover due to the leakage magnetic field which produces an eddy current in the metal cover. A metal plate made of a conductive and non-magnetic material is so located between the deflection unit and the metal cover as to be substantially perpendicular to the metal cover. Thus, a second opposition magnetic field is so generated from the metal plate due to the leakage magnetic field as to substantially cancel the first opposition magnetic field.
