Abstract:
A target assembly for a projection cathode ray tube is provided wherein the target member is cooled by convective fluid heat transfer occurring within and around a partially hollow support shaft screw. The target member is a solid block of relatively high, thermally conductive material, such as aluminum, coated with an electron beam sensitive material. The shaft screw also comprises relatively high thermally conductive material, such as copper, and has an internal passage leading from a source of cooling fluid, such as dry air, to a annular array of ports located in a distal portion of the supporting shaft screw. The distal portion of the shaft screw has a flaring cross section for increased heat transfer. A bellows encloses the distal portion forming a passageway so as to cause the cooling fluid to also flow along the external surface of the shaft screw. This arrangement adds to the effective convective heat transfer from the shaft screw to the cooling fluid. A rubber boot surrounds the proximate end of the shaft screw including an adjustable mounting pad to form a portion of the passageway and isolate high voltage potentials. A temperature sensitive detecting element is attached to the target member to sense changes in the temperature during operation. A controller responds to the sensed changes in the temperature and changes the flow rate of the cooling fluid to maintain the temperature relatively constant.

Abstract:
An accelerating grid particularly for an ion beam, consisting of at least e orifice plate which is fastened along an elastic outer rim thereof to a support. The orifice plate or plates includes a plurality of through-holes with mutually oriented central axes, preferably directed towards a common focusing point. A plurality of slots in the elastic outer rim maintain the alignment of the orifice plate center relative to the focus point during heat-induced expansion of the plate.
Abstract:
An electron discharge tube evaporation cooling system in which part of a tube to be cooled is immersed in coolant in a boiler (15), the cooling system further comprising a condenser (18) for vapor generated in the boiler (15), and a coolant reservoir (11). The flow of vapor from the boiler (15) to the condenser (18) experiences resistance in the interconnecting pipe (17), producing in the boiler (15) a back pressure dependent on the dimensions of the pipe (17). In order that a desired level (40) of coolant in the boiler (15) can be obtained for a range of back pressures, the coolant is supplied to the boiler via an overflow system (16) having an adjustable overflow level. The overflow system (16) comprises a chamber (31) open to atmosphere at the top (34) and having at the bottom (33) an opening (36) through which an overflow tube (35) passes. The opening (36) is provided with a liquid-tight gland (37) comprising a compressible ring (42) and a pressure member (43) adjustable to allow the tube (35) to be slid through or to lock it in position.
Abstract:
A liquid-cooled high-pressure metal vapor discharge lamp, to be used in particular in a method of manufacturing a color television display tube in which a cooling jacket is secured around the discharge tube and on which a thin metal mirror is provided on the inside. The mirror comprises apertures through which light rays of a given intensity as a function of the location emanate without disturbing reflections.
Abstract:
The mercury-vapor pressure within a fluorescent lamp is controlled by a metal (indium or an alloy of indium and tin, for example) that wets glass, combines with the mercury within the lamp to form an amalgam and is divided into segments which are fused directly to one or both of the glass stems at spaced locations. The amalgamative-metal segments are of such shape and mass that they inherently remain in place on the stem when they are heat-softened and pressed onto the glass surface. Segments of larger size and mass are retained in place by an overlying porous layer of inert material that adheres to the glass. The amalgamative metal can also be combined with a fusible binder to form a composite which is divided into small pellets that are pressed onto the glass stem and held in place by the adhesive action of the binder when the latter is fused during the bulblehring operation required to fabricate the lamp.
Abstract:
An arc lamp holder includes an axially directed air duct containing a socket into which the base electrodes of a sealed beam arc lamp are inserted for making electrical connection to the arc lamp. An ignitor assembly which includes a toroidal transformer is coaxially mounted of and surrounding the air duct. The ignitor circuitry includes a primary winding connected in circuit with a charging capacitor and a spark gap element. The capacitor is formed by a plurality of parallel connected disc capacitors mounted in a circular array to form a relatively large storage capacitance which is discharged through the spark gap and primary winding of the transformer to produce a high step up voltage applied to the arc lamp for starting thereof. The step up transformer, storage capacitor and spark gap are embedded in a dielectric potting material forming an integral portion of the lamp holder assembly.
Abstract:
This invention relates to a liquid cooled radiation source wherein a silicon coolant is made to flow through a chamber at least partially enclosing the radiation source to remove the heat produced by the radiation source. A dye is added to the liquid coolant to act as a filter to remove undesired wavelengths of radiation from the beam leaving the radiation source.
