  • Plasma accelerator with closed electron drift and conductive inserts
    Patent number: 5892329
    Abstract: A plasma accelerator with closed electron drift comprising a dielectric discharge chamber (6) with internal and external annular walls (13) forming an annular accelerating channel, and a magnetic system with sources (3) of a magnetic field, a magnetic path (2), external (4) and internal (5) magnetic poles forming an operating gap in the region of the discharge chamber exit edges. An anode unit (7) with a gas distributor is located in the accelerating channel interior, and the distance from the anode-gas distributor (7) to the accelerating channel exit plane exceeds said channel width. A cathode-compensator (1) is located beyond the exit plane of the discharge chamber (6). Exit parts of the discharge chamber walls (13) facing the accelerating channel are made of conducting material. At least one dividing annular groove (12) is made on each chamber wall between its conducting and main parts.

  • Plasma accelerator with closed electron drift
    Patent number: 5218271
    Abstract: A plasma accelerator with closed electron drift includes a magnetic system (4), a cathode (10), and a discharge chamber with an annular acceleration passage (3) accommodating a hollow anode (7) communicating therewith by way of at least one outlet passage (8). The outlet passage (8) is curved, and a straight line drawn from any interior of anode (7) to any point in the acceleration passage (3) intersects walls of anode (7).

  • Method for sensing spatial coordinate of article point and apparatus therefor
    Patent number: 4526471
    Abstract: A method for sensing a spatial coordinate of a point of an article, wherein a main coherent light field is formed in the area of the article and an approximate coordinate of a selected point of the article is found by means of an optical characteristic of this field. Simultaneously, a system of additional coherent light fields is formed in the area of the article, said light fields having periodic spatial and temporal modulation of illumination, and engaged in no interaction with the main coherent light field and between one another. The phase of each additional coherent light field in the selected point of the article is measured. Making use of the already obtained approximate coordinate of the selected point of the object and the measured phases, increasingly accurate coordinates of the selected point of the article are successively found. An apparatus for realizing the proposed method includes transmitting and receiving sections.
