Abstract:
Methods of making complex glass panel structures having precision dimensions. Glass tubes, rods, plates or other large glass structures are redrawn individually or in groups to filamentary or capillary size tube or gas continuums which are assembled as a monolayer to form a gas discharge panel, for example. Complex glass structures having precision uniform crosssectional dimensions are constructed. Various novel glass structures and/or conductor configurations and methods of assembling are disclosed.
Abstract:
A method of mounting an arc tube, having pinch seals, between two parallel struts by using a staple having a bar with two legs, passing the legs through the plane of the struts, and binding the legs back around the struts to secure the arc tube thereto.
Abstract:
A METHOD OF ASSEMBLYING A MULTIPLE ELEMENT TYPE ELECTRON GUN WHEREIN A NUMBER OF ELECTRON GUN UNITS ARE EACH RESPECTIVELY HELD BY PIVOTALLY SUPPORTED HOLDING MEMBERS WHICH ARE ASSEMBLED TO FORM A POLYGONAL SPACE AROUND A CENTRAL AXIS. CONSEQUENTLY, THE ELECTRON GUN UNITS ARE PRESSED AGAINST AND CONTACTED WITH A SOFTENED INSULATNG SUPPORT MATERIAL WHICH HAS BEEN SET AT THE CENTRAL AXIS. THE MATERIAL IS HARDENED, THEREBY SECURING THE ELECTRODES, AND IS THEN CUT AT A PRESCRIBED POSITION THEREON.
Abstract:
A portable XRF analyzer includes a hand shield and a handle. In one embodiment, the XRF analyzer further comprises a power component spaced-apart from an engine component. The handle and the hand shield extend in parallel between the engine component and the power component, attaching the engine component to the power component. In another embodiment, the XRF analyzer further comprises two housing portions, each integrally formed in a single, monolithic body formed together at the same time. The two housing portions are joined together to form an XRF analyzer housing. In another embodiment, the hand shield is shorter than the handle.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a radiation generating tube. The radiation generating tube includes an envelope including an insulating tubular member having at least two openings, a cathode connected to one of the openings of the insulating tubular member, and an anode connected to the other of the openings of the insulating tubular member. At least one of the cathode and the anode and the insulating tubular member are bonded at a bonded portion with an electrically conductive bonding member; and the bonded portion bonded with the electrically conductive bonding member is coated with a dielectric layer.
Abstract:
A portable XRF analyzer includes a hand shield to substantially block x-rays from impinging on a hand of a user. The portable XRF analyzer includes a heat sink over an x-ray source and a heat sink over an x-ray detector. The heat sinks are separated from each other by a thermally insulative material.
