  • Inductively Coupled Plasma Light Source
    Publication number: 20250069870
    Abstract: A plasma chamber for a UV light source includes a plasma generation region that defines a plasma confinement region. A port is positioned adjacent to a side of the plasma generation region that allows generated light to pass out of the chamber. A high voltage region is coupled to the plasma generation region. A grounded region is coupled to the high voltage region that defines an outer surface configured to be coupled to the ground and is dimensioned for receiving a surrounding inductive core. A width of the high voltage region is greater than the width of the grounded region.

  • Reflective insulation
    Patent number: 8309200
    Abstract: A reflective insulation system. The reflective insulation system includes a reflective layer such as aluminum, a layer of fiberglass, and a layer of vapor retarding material. A first side of the layer of fiberglass is bonded to the reflective layer by a deposit of hot melt glue. The second side of the layer of fiberglass is bonded to the layer of vapor retarding material by a second deposit of hot melt glue. The vapor retarding layer may be a plastic material, such as polypropylene or a reflective material, such as aluminum. In an alternate construction, the reflective layer has a transverse dimension that is narrower than the vapor retarding material such that edge portions of the reflective layer are spaced inwardly with respect to edges of said vapor retarder material. A strip of adhesive tape, preferably foil tape, overlies and secures edge portions of the reflective and vapor retarder layers.
