Abstract: A consumable electrode arc welding method includes: setting an optimal voltage and an increasing slope of a short circuit current to correspond to a setting current; feeding a consumable electrode wire; and alternately generating a short circuit condition and an arc condition, thereby carrying out welding, wherein the short circuit current is controlled by changing the increasing slope of the short circuit current according to a difference between the setting voltage and the optimal voltage when the setting voltage is different from the optimal voltage. With this, the increasing slope of the short circuit current and the current value corresponding to the inflection point of the short circuit current are automatically changed.
Abstract: Various folded waveguides and methods of manufacturing waveguides are disclosed herein. For example, some embodiments provide a method of manufacturing a folded waveguide including machining a plate with a number of registration marks and forming at least one slow wave circuit in at least two halves on the plate. A portion of the registration marks are for the plate and another portion are for the at least one slow wave circuit. The method also includes connecting the at least two halves of the at least one slow wave circuit and machining the at least one slow wave circuit.

Abstract: A reduced size high frequency quadrupole is provided having four elongated electrodes with oscillating power supplied to produce an electromagnetic field. An ion source is provided to supply the quadrupole with a negative ion beam and a positive ion beam. The quadruople has a buncher section, an acceleration section, and a neutralizer section where the ions can be bunched, accelerated and then mixed to produce a neutral ion beam of high energy.
Abstract: The present invention relates to a light emitting diode (LED) luminary system (10) comprising a plurality of LED light sources (14) of multiple colors for producing a mixed color light, and means (28) for controlling the LED light sources in accordance with differences between set point values representing a mixed color light having a desired color and first control data representing the color of the mixed color light produced by the LED light sources, the first control data being provided by at least one color sensor (22). The system is characterized by means (30, 32) for deriving the temperature of each LED light source, and means (26) for compensating the set point values in accordance with second control data including the LED light source temperatures. This offers increased color stability for the system. The invention also relates to a method and system for controlling a LED luminary.
