摘要:
A mercury-dispensing combination is disclosed consisting of a mercury-dispensing intermetallic compound A with Hg, including mercury and a second metal selected among titanium, zirconium and mixtures thereof; a promoting alloy or intermetallic compound B including copper, silicium and possibly a third metal selected among the transition elements. There is also disclosed a mercury-dispensing device (10) containing said combination of materials A and B, possibly with a getter material C selected among Ti, Zr, Ta, Nb, V and mixtures thereof, or alloys of these metals with Ni, Fe or Al, preferably in the form of powders compressed as a tablet (10), or contained in a ring-shaped metallic support (21), or rolled on the surfaces of a metallic strip (31). There is also disclosed a process for introducing mercury, into the electron tubes where it is required, by making use of the above-mentioned mercury-dispensing devices (10,20,30).
摘要:
The present invention refers to discharge lamps containing improved starting amalgam and to a method to increase the mercury vapour pressure during discharge lamp start-up.
摘要:
Provided is an image display apparatus including: a vacuum container having an electron source enclosed therein for displaying an image; an ion pump communicating with the vacuum container for discharging air therefrom and decreasing pressure therein; and a resistor connected in series with the ion pump with respect to a power supply for driving the ion pump. Even if internal resistance of the ion pump undergoes order-of-magnitude changes according to its operating state, current consumption can be suppressed and the ion pump can be driven efficiently.

摘要:
There is provided a metallic tape supporting a mercury vapour releasing material, preferably Ti₃Hg, admixed with a non-evaporable getter metal, preferably an alloy of 84% Zr - 16% Al, contained within a continuous series of depressions within the tape. The depressions form a successive series of pairs of depressions preferably each having an oval shape. Each pair of oval shaped depressions is separated by a distance greater than the distance separating the individual oval shapes. The tape can then be cut between each pair of depressions to form a small strip containing two depressions. Such a small strip can then be folded through an angle of approximately 180° about an axis, in the plane of the tape midway between the depressions, perpendicular to the tape length. This folded strip can then be welded to a support and used as a cold cathode electrode in a miniature fluorescent lamp. The cathode can be heated during a manufacturing process to release mercury and subsequently act as a cold cathode and getter device.
