Abstract: A heater coil for an electron tube includes a spiral wire which is double wound to be cylindrical, and a connection wire which is formed on an upper face of the spiral wire in a horizontal plane. The connection wire is shaped to have at least two bent portions on the same plane.
Abstract: A directly heated cathode comprises a metal tube having a filling of powdered metal which extends beyond the tube and in which is embedded an electrical wire which is coaxial and extensive with said the outer tube over part of its length. The electrical wire is coated with insulating material which is normally alumina. The tube, the metal powder filling and the wire are sintered together, giving a relatively robust structure.
Abstract: A heater for a thermionic cathode for producing an electron beam includes a central wide and a hollow cylindrical conductor with the wire disposed coaxially thereof. The wire and the cylindrical conductor are electrically connected at one end of the heater and at the other end include means for connecting to a power source. Equal electrical currents thus flow in opposite directions in the wire and the cylindrical conductor so that the magnetic fields produced thereby tending to deflect the electron beam cancel each other.

Abstract: A method of forming a variable sensitivity transmission mode negative eleon affinity (NEA) photocathode in which the sensitivity of the photocathode to white or monochromatic light can be varied by varying the backsurface recombination velocity of the photoemitting material with an electric field. The basic structure of the photocathode is comprised of a Group III-V element photoemitter on a larger bandgap Group III-V element window substrate.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is an electron emitter assembly for an electron gun which includes a first emitter ring, a second emitter ring, a power supply, connectors for connecting the power supply to the two electron emitter rings so that heating current flows from the power supply through the rings, and said rings being mounted so that a magnetic field formed by the second ring counteracts the magnetic field formed by the first ring.
