  • Patent number: 8040035
    Abstract: A method of producing a cathode for use in an x-ray tube assembly is provided including machining an emission aperture into a cup emission surface portion of a cup structure. The cup structure is comprised of a cup base portion opposite the cup emissions surface portion. Electro-discharge machining is used to form an electro-discharge machining slot into the cup structure to provide access to the interior of the cup structure. Electro-discharge machining is used to form a transverse coil chamber within the interior by way of the electro-discharge machining slot such that the transverse coil chamber is formed between the cup base portion and the cup emissions surface portion while retaining an essentially contiguous emissions surface perimeter surrounding the emission aperture.

  • Publication number: 20100072873
    Abstract: A hot-cathode fluorescent lamp includes a pair of filament coils (4) at the respective ends of a glass bulb. Each filament coil (4) has a coiled portion (4a) coated with an electron emissive material, a first lead portion (4b) extending from one end of the coiled portion (4a), and a second lead portion (4c) extending from another end of the coiled portion (4a). The first lead portion (4b) and the second lead portion (4c) are connected to lead-in wires inserted into the glass bulb via connecting members (5a, 5b). At least one insulating member (11a or 11b) is provided between closest edges of the connecting members (5a, 5b) to each other. The provision of the insulating member prevents a short circuit occurring between the closest edges of the plate-shaped connecting members during lighting. Occurrence of such a short circuit would cause lighting to start without the coil portion being sufficiently pre-heated, which results in excessive sputtering of the electron emissive material to shorten the lamp life.

  • Patent number: 6696790
    Abstract: A magnetron including a tubular metallic container which is air-tightly connected to an anode, cathode leads for supporting a cathode with filaments being disposed in a central axial portion of the anode, a stem insulator formed with through holes through which the cathode leads pass, and external terminals formed with planar portions which are air-tightly connected to a surface of the stem insulator opposite to a surface facing the tubular metallic container and with connecting portions which are air-tightly connected to the cathode leads. The connecting portions are arranged to be bent in an axial direction of the cathode leads. It is possible to exhibit the effect of preventing vacuum break from occurring by oxidation or the like since the increase in the area of the connecting portions will result in elongation of the distance between the end portions of the connecting portions and the through holes.

  • Patent number: 4807824
    Abstract: This invention provides an improved web transfer mechanism in a paper roll towel dispenser of the type having a primary roll and a reserve roll of paper toweling. The transfer mechanism comprises a cradle for supporting the primary roll that is counterbalanced by an element for tucking the leading end of the reserve roll into the nip between feed rollers. As the primary roll becomes depleted, the counterbalancing force of the roll decreases, causing the tucking element to gradually approach the leading end of the reserve roll until the element finally engages the end and introduces it into the nip. In a preferred embodiment, the device includes a damper mechanism to prevent premature introduction of the leading end caused by the tendency of the primary roll to rise above the cradle by a sudden pull on the toweling.

  • Patent number: 4216405
    Abstract: A large cathode structure having a diameter on the order of 50 cm for producing uniform plasmas in a magnetic field. The cathode is oxide-coated and indirectly heated by a plurality of heater wires disposed in insulating tubes arranged parallel to each other. The cathode is pressed against the insulating tubes thereby to maintain it substantially flat in spite of expansion and contraction due to the heating and cooling effects. Optionally, the insulating tubes carrying the heater wires may be backed up by a second set of insulating tubes disposed at right angles to the first set. An annular ring is disposed about the cathode and is provided with tungsten springs for forcing the cathode against the heater tubes. This ring may additionally serve as a heat shield and maintain the temperature more uniform about the periphery of the cathode. For large cathodes, the structure may be water cooled by the provision of two copper tubes through which the water flows.

  • Patent number: 4093893
    Abstract: A short arc fluorescent lamp comprises an envelope having dimensions compatible with existing incandescent lamp luminaires. A radio frequency power supply, enclosed within the lamp base structure, reduces anode voltage drop to increase lamp efficacy. Cathode voltage drop and sputtering are reduced by compact hollow cathode assemblies, including centrally disposed filaments, which are positioned at opposite ends of a tubular envelope assembly having a large ratio of diameter to length. Diffuse cathode emission allows operation with low pressure, low atomic weight fill gas which further increases luminous efficiency.
