Abstract:
A gas-filled triode with an anode, a cathode, and a control electrode therebetween having trigger and corona portions defining gaps respectively with the anode and cathode. The triode detects energy falling upon the cathode and produces an amplified output corresponding thereto through the anode gap.
Abstract:
A pin-shaped discharge electrode is provided which prevents corrosion and promotes stable glow discharge. In order to reduce the occurrence of a large field near the bottom of the electrode, the electrode is embedded in a cavity of an insulating base plate.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a heater for indirect-heated cathode having a heating element composed of a wire with a high specific resistance, such as titanium or titanium-based alloy, around which another wire with a low specific resistance is wound, and having a heat-resisting insulating material covering at least part of said heating element.
Abstract:
The present invention discloses a method of producing a discharge display device which enables formation of a satisfactory LaB.sub.6 cathode without using a LaB.sub.6 paste containing a glass binder. The method of the present invention comprises the steps of applying a conductive paste containing a glass binder, temporarily drying said conductive paste to form a conductive paste layer, forming a LaB.sub.6 layer containing no glass binder on said conductive paste layer, burning said conductive paste layer and said LaB.sub.6 layer, at the same time, and activating said LaB.sub.6 layer after being burnt, and after an exhausting step by gas discharge with large current to form a LaB.sub.6 cathode.
Abstract:
The present invention discloses a method of producing a discharge display device which enables a LaB.sub.6 cathode to be formed by a thick-film printing method. The method of the present invention comprises the steps of applying a paste prepared by mixing LaB.sub.6 powder with alkali glass powder in a proportion of 20-40 wt. % with respect to the LaB.sub.6 powder to a base electrode, burning the paste, and activating the paste by gas discharge with large current after an exhaustion step to form a LaB.sub.6 cathode on the base electrode.
Abstract:
This heating element is constituted by a filament and a mixture, fritted at between 1700.degree. and 1800.degree. C., of alumina and less than 10% by weight of yttrium oxide. This mixture fills the space left free by the filament within the cylinder closed by an emissive disk forming the cathode.
Abstract:
A gas-discharge chamber electrode is proposed, comprising a hollow metal member with an emitting portion on the gas-discharge side and with coolant pipes. The hollow metal member is coated on the outside, except for the emitting portion, with a high-temperature dielectric. The electrode system includes at least two such electrodes.
Abstract:
A gas discharge electron gun for generating an electron beam by secondary emission from an active surface of a cathode which is surrounded by a cathode sleeve coaxially projecting towards an open end of a tubular anode.
Abstract:
The cell has an anode with a light-transmitting through bore, one end of which is directed towards a sample-supporting cathode, the other end being directed towards a window in an anode housing. An electrically insulating sleeve is interposed between the anode and the housing. The sleeve is slidable along the anode and surrounds the end of the anode which faces the cathode. The annular end of the sleeve can be applied against a seating surface of the sample support.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a gas and/or vapour discharge tube provided with an electrode consisting of several metal layers running parallel to one another. According to the invention the electrode consists of niferal material (nickel, iron, aluminum) which has been subjected to a given thermal treatment so that the discharge only terminates on the nickel layer.
