    摘要: An electric gas ignitor is disclosed having a gas igniting fiber comprising a core of conductive refractory material and an outer, high strength, oxidation resistant coating. One aspect of the invention concerns a primary current path defined by at least a portion of the fiber core and comprising a material having a highly uniform resistance per unit length. A substantially uniform temperature distribution is thereby promoted on the fiber surface and the formation of localized "hot spots" is inhibited. The primary current path is preferably an anisotropic material having a preferred crystal orientation which uniformly conducts electricity along the fiber length.A second aspect of the invention is directed to the inclusion of a diffusion-barrier material between the fiber core and the oxidation-resistant coating to prevent diffusion of the core and coating, which changes the fiber operating temperature and decreases its operating life. The diffusion-barrier material is preferably refractory, closely packed, dense and, more perferably, is an anisotropic material having its preferred crystal orientation in a direction which inhibits the diffusion while forming the primary current path of the fiber.

    摘要: An electrodeless fluorescent light source has an electrodeless lamp mounted in a termination fixture which includes an inner conductor and an outer conductor disposed around the inner conductor and is coupled to a high frequency power source. Power is coupled to an ultraviolet-producing low pressure discharge in the electrodeless lamp which acts as a termination load within the termination fixture. A phosphor coating on the inner surface of the electrodeless lamp emits visible light upon excitation by ultraviolet radiation. Alternatively, the phosphor coating can be on the inner surface of a transparent envelope which forms part of the termination fixture. In this case, the phosphor coated envelope can be removable from the light source. The light source can be dimmed by reducing the microwave power input. Frequency of operation is typically from 902 MHz to 928 MHz.

    摘要: A starting assist control circuit for an electrodeless light source in which a UV source for assisting in starting an electrodeless lamp is coupled in series with the DC supply for a microwave power source for the lamp so that a reduced DC voltage is supplied to the microwave power source at lamp starting. An electronic circuit is provided which continuously decreases the DC current through the UV source and increases the DC voltage for the microwave power source in relation to the amount of light generated by the electrodeless lamp. More specifically, the emitter and collector of a transistor are coupled across the UV source to provide a shunt path and the potential of the base of the transistor is controlled by a photosensitive resistor which senses the amount of light from the lamp. As the lamp generates increased light, the transistor becomes more conductive, thereby continuously decreasing current to the UV source and increasing voltage to the microwave power source.

    摘要: In a light source excited with power at a high frequency, an electrodeless lamp is located in a termination fixture comprising an inner and outer conductor, the lamp being located at the end of the inner conductor. An internal tuning element is located within the fixture for creating a resonant condition when the lamp is to be started to create a maximum electric field for initiating breakdown and excitation of the fill material within the lamp. The tuner may comprise a variable capacitance coupled in parallel across the conductors at the power input end of the fixture or a variable inductance connected across the conductors at the lamp end of the fixture.

    摘要: A tunable microwave cavity permits adjustment of the penetration of a power coupling probe into the main cavity by adjusting a grounded element of the cavity. A pair of conductive tubes are in telescoping relationship and have mutually engaging threads so that a rotation of one tube causes one tube to pass over the other. A first one of the tubes is mounted to the main cavity and around an aperture in the cavity wall. A power coupling connector is mounted with the second tube, and a rotating electrical contactor is disposed between the outer conductor of the connector and the second tube so that the connector does not rotate with the second tube. A power coupling probe affixed to the end of the inner conductor of the connector assumes various penetration depths within the main cavity in response to a rotation of the second tube. The cavity may be used in a light source including a high frequency power source and an electrodeless lamp disposed in the main cavity.
