Patent number: 7397185Abstract: In a method for manufacturing an electron tube including a front substrate and a back substrate, a wiring and an electrode are formed on the front substrate and/or the back substrate. A component is mounted on the front substrate and/or the back substrate. A ring-less getter is mounted on at least one of the front substrate, the back substrate and the component. A vessel is assembled and sealed so that the front substrate faces the back substrate. A light is irradiated on the ring-less getter from outside of the sealed vessel, thereby activating the ring-less getter.Type: GrantFiled: November 16, 2004Date of Patent: July 8, 2008Assignee: Futaba CorporationInventors: Yoshihisa Yonezawa, Yukio Ogawa, Shogo Ishige

Patent number: 7315069Abstract: An integrated getter structure and a method for its formation and installation in a circuit module enclosure (24). The integrated structure includes a hydrogen getter structure (10) and selected quantities of a material (20) that is formulated to provide both a particle getter function and an RF absorber function. In one embodiment, the material (20) is placed in discrete quantities over the hydrogen getter structure (10). In another embodiment, the hydrogen getter structure (10) is formed over a sheet of the material (20) and is provided with apertures (30) to expose the material (20).Type: GrantFiled: November 24, 2004Date of Patent: January 1, 2008Assignee: Northrop Grumman CorporationInventors: Dean Tran, Jerry T. Fang, Yoshio Saito, Mark Kintis, Chih Chang, Phu H. Tran

Patent number: 7238300Abstract: A method comprises subjecting ant oxygen scavenger to actinic radiation; and then optionally storing the oxygen scavenger in a container, the container configured such that the oxygen scavenger exhibits no substantial oxygen scavenging activity while inside the container. The dosed oxygen scavenger can later be removed from the container, if stored therein, subjected to a second dose of actinic radiation to trigger the oxygen scavenger, and used in packaging oxygen sensitive products. A stored oxygen scavenger, untriggered, is also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: October 10, 2003Date of Patent: July 3, 2007Inventors: James A. Solis, Richard Dayrit, Scott W. Beckwith, Brian L. Butler, Ronald L. Cotterman, Drew V. Speer, Thomas D. Kennedy

Patent number: 7083825Abstract: An improved getter device and method for forming a calcium-rich getter thin film in an electronic vacuum device is disclosed. The getter device includes a powder of a Ca—Ba—Al ternary alloy composed of between 53% and 56.8% by weight of aluminum, from 36% to 41.7% by weight of calcium and from 1.5% to 11% by weight of barium. The method allows the formation of a calcium-rich getter thin film with a substantially reduced amount of released hydrogen in the vacuum device.Type: GrantFiled: April 8, 2004Date of Patent: August 1, 2006Assignee: SAES Getters S.p.A.Inventors: Corrado Carretti, Luca Toia

Patent number: 7001535Abstract: This invention describes a solution to the particular problem of liquid water formation in hydrogen getters exposed to quantities of oxygen. Water formation is usually desired because the recombination reaction removes hydrogen without affecting gettering capacity and the oxygen removal reduces the chances for a hydrogen explosion once free oxygen is essentially removed. The present invention describes a getter incorporating a polyacrylate compound that can absorb up to 500% of its own weight in liquid water without significantly affecting its hydrogen gettering/recombination properties, but that also is insensitive to water vapor.Type: GrantFiled: May 10, 2002Date of Patent: February 21, 2006Assignee: Sandia National LaboratoriesInventor: Timothy J. Shepodd

Patent number: 6783696Abstract: A method for reducing the loss of particles from the surface of porous getter bodies is taught herein. The method consists in producing on the surface of the porous getter a thin layer of a metal or metal alloy with a deposition technique selected among the deposition of materials from arc generated plasma, ionic beam deposition and cathodic deposition. The deposition technique allows for granular or columnar surface of the covering material but still allowing access to the surface of the getter material, resulting in a reduced getter particle loss.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2003Date of Patent: August 31, 2004Assignee: SAES Getters S.p.A.Inventors: Andrea Conte, Marco Moraja
