Abstract:
A discharge tube is comprised of a glass bulb, a cathode, and an anode. The cathode consists of a cathode tip portion of a bullet shape made by impregnating porous tungsten with barium, and a cylindrical lead rod of molybdenum having a recess. Apart of a base of the cathode tip portion is placed in the recess of the lead rod and a clearance between the internal surface of the recess of the lead rod and the side face of the insert part of the cathode tip portion is sealed with a molybdenum-ruthenium brazing filler metal.
Abstract:
A high pressure discharge lamp includes a quartz glass bulb, a conductive element which is sealed at a sealing portion of the bulb, and a pair of electrodes. Each electrode is disposed in the quartz glass bulb so as to be opposite the other and connected to the conductive element. A part of each electrode is sealed with the quartz glass bulb at the sealing portion so as to generate a contacting portion formed by the part of each electrode and the bulb. The maximum length, Lmax, of the contacting portion is defined as: Lmax (mm)null200/(PnullD); and the minimum length, Lmin, of the contacting portion is defined as: Lmin (mm)null0.8/(D2nullnull) or Lmin (mm)null0.7 whichever is longer, where D is the diameter (mm) of the electrode and P is the power (W) supplied to the electrode.
Abstract:
A flat lamp. The flat lamp comprises an upper glass plate, a bottom glass plate, at least one glass sidewall, two long electrodes, two front glass sleeves and two rear glass sleeves. The upper glass plate, the bottom glass plate and the glass sidewalls form a closed space. The two long electrodes are parallel and extend through the front glass sleeves into the closed space. Support from the rear glass sleeve prevents electrode bending.
Abstract:
A system and method for hermetically sealing a lamp. Certain embodiments of the lamp have an arc envelope having an open end and, also, an end structure diffusion bonded to the arc envelope at the open end. The end structure also has a dosing passageway extending into the arc envelope. In other embodiments, a lighting device is provided with an end structure adapted to close an open end of an arc envelope, and a dosing tube diffusion bonded to the end structure. Another embodiment of the lighting device has an arc envelope and an end structure diffusion bonded to an open end of the arc envelope.
Abstract:
A discharge lamp of the short arc type with high arc stability in which the arc is prevented from fluctuating during operation is achieved by providing a short arc discharge lamp in which the hermetically sealed tubes which extend from the arc tube, and the lead pins located within the arc tube which support the electrodes, are sealed relative to one another by graded glass, and wherein cylindrical retaining bodies are attached concentrically within the hermetically sealed tubes and are penetrated by the lead pins, a metal foil that has several cambers which extend in the axial direction of the lamp being located between the cylindrical retaining bodies and the lead pins.
Abstract:
A ceramic discharge vessel 1 is used having end portions and an inner space formed therein to be filled with an ionizable light emitting substance and a starter gas. The end portion 2 has an inner wall surface 2b facing an opening formed in the end portion 2. A hollow portion 7 is formed in the conductive member 6. The conductive member 6 is inserted into the opening of the end portion 2 of the vessel 1. A joining layer joins the inner wall surface 2b of the end portion 2 and the outer surface 6a of the conductive member 6. A recess 3 facing the opening is formed in the end portion 2, and the recess 3 extends circumferentially with respect to the central axis nullXnull of the vessel 1. When the conductive member is inserted into the opening of the end portion of the vessel and joined, the adherence or residue of joining material onto the end face or inner surface of the conductive member may be prevented.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a method and apparatus for a single ended discharge light source. In one embodiment, both leads of a discharge lamp enter from the same side of the lamp. In one embodiment, the leads pass through a base. A bulb is positioned over the base to form a lamp wherein both leads enter the lamp from the same end. In one embodiment, the base is made of glass. In another embodiment, the bulb is made of glass. In one embodiment, the thermal expansion coefficient of the bulb and the base are greater than 1.0*10null -6/K. In another embodiment, the thermal expansion properties of the material used for the leads closely matches the material used for the base. In one embodiment, the power of the discharge lamp is less than 50 watts. In another embodiment, the end of the bulb furthest from the base is a lens.
Abstract:
To reduce and prevent electrode displacement and at the same time to devise an arrangement of the side tube parts with high adhesion, a short-arc, ultra-high pressure discharge lamp a light emitting part in which there is a pair of opposed electrodes and which is filled with at least 0.15 mg/mm3 of mercury is provided with side tube parts which extend from opposite sides of the light emitting part in which the electrodes are partially hermetically sealed and in which the electrodes are each welded in a central valley of a metal foil that has a cross section with an essentially inverted W-shape. The valley and flanking arches or peaks of the W-shape may be serpentine or sinusoidal, trapezoidal, or rectangular in addition to the traditional W-shape having acutely angled corners between straight legs.

A method and apparatus to install a germicidal fluorescent lamp that includes a single external electrical connection, and that protects the electric retainer wires or ballast from harmful exposure to the environment.
Abstract:
A high pressure discharge lamp formed of a polycrystalline alumina ceramic arc tube which includes a discharge zone and end tubes on each side to seal the tube, the discharge zone containing light emitting metal halides and mercury and a starting gas of argon or xenon. The end tubes have longitudinally extending openings therein. The end tubes have proximal ends adjacent the arc tube and distal ends furthermost removed from the arc tube. An electrical feed through is disposed in each of the end tubes which includes a thin metal foil section disposed between two electrically conductive lead in wire wires. One of the lead in wire wires has an electrode disposed thereon. A sealing compound seals the electrical feed through to the alumina of the end tubes at the outer ends thereof.
