Abstract:
The invention relates to a situation in which a merchant puts at a client's disposal an apparatus (9) for processing consumer articles (1) that are sold by him. The operation of the apparatus (9) is made dependent on the purchase of the consumer article (1) in question by making an element (4) releasing the operation of the apparatus (9) to form part of the packing (2) so as to make operation of the apparatus (9) only possible with the unlocking element (4).The unlocking element can take the form of a cardboard card (4) on which a magnetic strip (5) containing a code is applied. The apparatus may be a coffee making apparatus (9) comprising a device for reading the magnetic code of the card (4), releasing the coffee making process and for extinguishing the code.
Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a scandate dispenser cathode having a matrix at least the top layer of which at the surface consists substantially of tungsten (W) and scandium oxide (Sc.sub.2 O.sub.3) and with emitter material in or below said matrix. If said method comprises the following steps:(a) compressing a porous plug of tungsten powder(b) heating said plug in a non-reactive atmosphere and in contact with scandium to above the melting temperature of scandium,(c) cooling the plug in a hydrogen (H.sub.2) atmosphere(d) pulverizing the plug to fragments(e) heating said fragments to approximately 800.degree. C. and firing them at this temperature for a few to a few tens of minutes in a hydrogen atmosphere and slowly cooling in said hydrogen atmosphere(f) grinding the fragments to scandium hydride-tungsten powder (ScH.sub.2 /W)(g) compressing a matrix or a top layer on a matrix of pure tungsten from said ScH.sub.2 /W powder or from a mixture of this powder with tungsten powder(h) sintering and cooling the said matrix(i) bringing emissive material into the cathode, a scandate dispenser cathode is obtained the recovery of which after ion bombardment occurs better than in cathodes having Sc.sub.2 O.sub.3 grains. The scandium is also distributed more homogeneously in the cathode than in cathodes having Sc.sub.2 O.sub.3 grains.

Abstract:
An electron gun for generating an electron beam, comprising a cathode unit composed of at least a cylindrical cathode shaft having an end surface which forms an emissive surface. The cathode shaft is surrounded at least partly by a cylindrical metal heat reflection screen which extends beyond the open end of the cathode shaft. The cathode shaft and the heat reflection screen are secured in a cathode support, wherein the cathode shaft is suspended in the heat reflection screen so as to be self-supporting by means of metal strips or wires which are secured to the cathode shaft near the emissive surface and to the cathode support. This arrangement increases thermal efficiency and decreases warm-up time.

Abstract:
A procedure for examining and inspecting drilled holes or other metal surface conformations by applying a castable, two component, magnetically active material comprised of room temperature vulcanizing rubber or a polymerizing material containing magnetizable particles and specific sensitizing agents, magnetizing the area to be inspected, and curing the castable material to form a permanent replica impression of the inspection area which, when removed, reveals the presence of surface flaws, such as cracks, scratches, tool marks or dimensional inaccuracies and subsurface flaws which may tend to develop in structurally deficient members.
Abstract:
A supply cathode having a large diameter in which the emissive body is supported by a metal base plate having metal pins which are embedded in the sintered emissive body.
Abstract:
A dispenser MK-type cathode structure adapted for storage and/or handling with subsequent activation and a method of producing the same whereby a supply source material of an emission-promoting substance is positioned in an open-ended storage chamber of a plug-like cathode insert member and sealed within the chamber by a fluid impermeable pore-free mask member. A porously sintered tungsten disc member sits above the mask member so as to have an undersurface thereof in fluid communication with the supply source material upon rupture of the mask member. The mask member is sealed to the boundaries of the storage chamber by a selfsticking organic polymer material which is thermally decomposable without residue at operational temperatures of such dispenser cathodes. The mask member comprises a unitary structure composed of a high melting metal foil having at least one surface thereof coated with the organic polymer material, a lamina of a film forming organic material having a layer of the self-thicking organic polymer material along a surface thereof or a self supporting film of the organic polymer material. The mask member is provided in a controlled thickness of sufficient dimension to resist rupture until the environment around the sealed storage chamber is subjected to cathode vacuum conditions.
Abstract:
A dispenser MK-type cathode structure adapted for prolonged storage and handling with subsequent activation and a method of producing the same whereby a supply source material capable of yielding barium, such as alkaline-earth oxides or carbonates, i.e., barium carbonates or barium oxide, is positioned in an open-ended storage chamber of a suitable member and a porously sintered cover member seals the supply source material within the storage chamber. The cover member is composed of tungsten and includes coatings of osmium and/or rhenium on its active or emission surface. Such cover member is further provided with a tightly adhering protective coating that is vapor and humidity impermeable and is composed of a hydrophobic material, such as paraffin or methyl mathacrylate resin or other heat-vaporizable hydrophobic material.

An indirectly heated hot-cathode has a metallic cathode sleeve having inner walls defining a cavity. An electric heating element is arranged in the cavity defined by the cathode sleeve. The necessary electrical insulation between the heating element and the cathode sleeve is maintained by an insulating member shaped to conform to and arranged to at least partially cover the inner walls of the cathode sleeve, and constructed of a material selected from the group consisting of ruby, quartz and sapphire.
