Patents by Inventor Tomotaka Ezaki

Tomotaka Ezaki has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11062871
    Abstract: An analog amplification vacuum tube of the present invention suppresses influences of filament vibration on amplification characteristics. The analog amplification vacuum tube of the present invention is provided with a filament, an anode, a grid and a vibration-proof part. The filament is tensioned linearly and emits thermal electrons. The anode is disposed parallel to the filament. The grid is disposed between the filament and the anode so as to face the anode. The vibration-proof part includes a thin film usable in a vacuum environment and the thin film comes into contact with part of the filament.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6917157
    Abstract: Disclosed is an electrode for an electron source, a method for producing the same, and an electronic tube using the same which provide a decreased thickness of an electron emitting source, and an improved current distribution percentage. The electronic tube comprises a substrate, an electron emitting source area formed on the substrate, and a shield area around the electron emitting area. The shield area is formed of a material that does not produce an electron emitting source, when the electron emitting source is produced by a dry method. As a result, if a space between an electron drawing electrode and the electrode for the electron source is narrow, the percentage of anode current increases in the total current, thereby improving the current distribution percentage.

  • Patent number: 6914380
    Abstract: A vacuum fluorescent display includes a cathode electrode, grid electrode, anode electrode, at least one envelope, phosphor screen, and cap. The cathode electrode emits electrons. The grid electrode extracts the electrons from the cathode electrode. The anode electrode accelerates the electrons extracted from the cathode electrode. The envelope accommodates the cathode electrode, grid electrode, and anode electrode in a vacuum space and has a phosphor screen plate having light transmission properties. The phosphor screen is formed on an inner surface of the phosphor screen plate of the envelope and adapted to emit light upon bombardment of the electrons accelerated by the anode electrode. The cap is made of an X-ray shielding material and supported outside the envelope so as to surround the phosphor screen plate of the envelope through a gap. The cap has a light exit portion from which the light emitted from the phosphor screen emerges through the phosphor screen plate of the envelope.
