Abstract:
A cathode-housing suspension of an electron beam device having a tubular body of elongate shape with an exit window extending in the longitudinal direction and a connector end in one end of the tubular body is disclosed. The electron beam device further comprises a cathode housing having an elongate shape and comprising a free end and an attachment end remote to the free end, and the attachment end comprises an outwardly extending flange provided with threaded openings for set screws and non-threaded openings for attachment bolts, for attaching the attachment end to a corresponding socket of the tubular body, wherein a mechanism configured to bias the attachment end away from the socket are arranged in the tubular body.
Abstract:
An apparatus and a method of sterilizing inner walls of containers, wherein the apparatus has at least one electron beam emitter with at least one electron beam accelerator and an outlet window for the electron beams, a conveying device for conveying the containers to be sterilized and a reciprocating device for permitting a relative movement between the containers and the outlet window in a longitudinal direction of the containers. A reflector apparatus is connected to the electron beam emitter in a positively locking and/or friction locking manner at least locally in a region of the outlet window and is capable of being introduced at least locally during a defined period of time into an interior space of the container to be sterilized, in order to apply the electron beams to the inner walls of the container.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a control grid for an electron beam generating device, wherein the control grid comprises apertures arranged in rows in a width direction and columns in a height direction, wherein a majority of the apertures in a row have the same size, and wherein the size of the apertures of at least one row differs from the size of the apertures of another row.
Abstract:
A detector is disclosed for sensing an intensity of an electron beam generated along a path. An exemplary detector includes an exposed conductor attached to a support which is configured to locate the exposed conductor within a path of an electron beam; a grounded conductor isolated from the exposed conductor, the grounded conductor partly surrounding the exposed conductor to form a plasma shield having a window positioned at least in a direction of the electron beam path.
Abstract:
A sealed electron beam source (12) for an imaging tube (16) is provided. The beam source (12) includes a source housing (50) with a source window (54) having a first voltage potential and a source electrode (52) having a second voltage potential. The source electrode (52) generates electrons and emits the electrons through the source window (54) to a target (32) that is external to the source housing (50). A method of supplying and directing electrons on the target (32) within the imaging tube (16) is also provided. The method includes forming the source housing (50) over the source electrode (52) and sealing the source housing (50). The electrons are generated and emitted from the source electrode (52) and directed through the source window (54) to the target (32).

Abstract:
An apparatus and method of decontaminating surfaces on a living creature. A beam of electrons is generated with an electron beam generator operating in the range of about 40 kv to 60 kv. The beam of electrons exit the electron beam generator through an exit window. The surfaces on the living creature are irradiated with the beam of electrons. The beam of electrons are of an energy sufficient to decontaminate the surfaces without damaging living tissue.
