Abstract:
In this invention, disposed in front of a front panel (1a) of a cathode ray tube (1) is a transparent panel (2) through a metal spacer (3) which serves also as a heat radiator, a liquid tight space (5) is formed between the front panel (1a) and the transparent panel (2), a transparent liquid coolant (6) is sealed in the space (5), a protruded portion (3C) is provided on at least the upper end portion of the transparent panel (2) and an extended space (5A) into which the liquid coolant is injected is formed between the protruded portion and the metal spacer (3), whereby it is possible to effectively radiate the heat generated in the front panel (1a) of the cathode ray tube (1).
Abstract:
An electrodeless discharge resonance lamp for producing light by microwave excitation of gas molecules is disclosed. The lamp comprises a head having a passage therethrough and a gas inlet port in communication with the passage. A window is removable mounted in the passage and a collimator is removably mounted in the passage adjacent and exterior to the window. Gas flow tubing is positioned in the passaged such that one end of the tubing is located between the gas inlet port and the window and the other end of the tubing extends out of the opposite passage. The tubing is smaller than the inside diameter of the passage to allow gas to flow therebetween. Finally, there are means for removably securing the tubing in place and microwave excitation means in communication with the tubing adjacent and exterior to the head.
Abstract:
Compact fluorescent lamps employ inner assemblies of fluorescent tubes mounted in an arc tight manner. Associated with the assemblies are thermally actuable means which operate to open communication with the tubes during exhaust. After exhaust and sealing of an outer envelope which holds the assembly, the thermally actuable means closes the tubes to form an arc tight seal.
Abstract:
A cathode ray tube apparatus including an envelope having a panel portion with a phosphor screen formed on the inner surface thereof, a neck portion provided with an electron gun therein and a funnel portion therebetween; and a transparent panel facing the external surface of the panel portion with a peripherally located spacer therebetween, wherein a liquid coolant is sealed in the space formed between the panel portion and the transparent panel by light absorbing material, and the spacer is treated to reduce reflection.
Abstract:
A high power vacuum tube 10 has a cylindrical body 16 and a plurality of radially extending fins 18. A cylindrical wall 20 is co-axially disposed about the body and the fins, thus defining an air channel between the body and the wall. To cool the tube, air is forced into the channel from an entry port, and leaves the channel through an exit port. The cooling capacity of the system is optimized by contouring the entry and exit ports to minimize aerodynamic drag. In one embodiment, the entry into the channel is flared outward and a cone assembly 42 is provided adjacent the longitudinal end of the body 16 nearest the exit port. This cone assembly thus forms a continuation of the body 16 which tapers to a smaller cross section in the direction of air flow. The cone assembly may be formed of a stack of discs 70 of successively smaller diameter. The exit port, which may have either rigid or flexible sidewalls, has a venturi shape to further reduce drag.
Abstract:
Undesirable distortions of electrical grid conductors (12) from thermal cycling are minimized and related problems such as unwanted thermionic emission and structural failure from overheating are avoided by providing for a flow of fluid coolant within each conductor (12). The conductors (12) are secured at each end to separate flexible support elements (16) which accommodate to individual longitudinal expansion and contraction of each conductor (12) while resisting lateral displacements, the coolant flow preferably being directed into and out of each conductor through passages (48) in the flexible support elements (16). The grid (11) may have a modular or divided construction which facilitates manufacture and repairs.
Abstract:
An anode for an electron beam laser is formed by a thin metallic foil which functions both as a laser cavity wall having an airtight seal, and as a window which permits the passage of electrons therethrough into the laser cavity. This foil anode is supported on a frame structure in a manner such that the foil presents a smooth surface for the laser gas flow and the frame structure provides cooling for the anode to dissipate the heat generated by the electron flow. This frame structure includes a plurality of similar side-by-side, longitudinal, substantially flat, web elements which are separated from each other by gaps through which the electrons can pass. The web elements have cooling tubes welded to each of the opposite edges thereof, one of the tubes being capped with a flat strip which provides a flat surface against which the foil anode can be supported. The web elements are supported at their opposite ends by support blocks which are used to mount these elements in position between the electron gun and the laser cavity, with manifolds being provided in each of the support blocks for feeding cooling fluid to the tubes. The web elements are structurally supported and separated from each other by comb members which extend thereacross between the end blocks. A method is also described for assembling the anode support structure wherein plugs of brazing material are inserted in apertures formed in the web to braze the tubes to the end box and curved sheaths of brazing material are inserted between the tubes, the web and the cap to enable electrical brazing of the parts in a single step.
Abstract:
A magnetron device composed by improving the medium or large size magnetron device having an output power of the order of 500 watts in ultrahigh frequency, which comprises as cooling means an assembly of a natural air-cooled type radiator formed of aluminum or alloy thereof and which, accordingly, does not necessitate the cooling means like blowers provided to conventional devices. Said device has such advantages that noise is eliminated during operation and that it is light and compact and therefore it is particularly suitable for a domestic-use microwave range.
