摘要： A portable, high power arc lamp system for composite curing and tooth whitening applications utilizes battery cells to power a lamp, such as a short-arc xenon lamp. The use of battery power allows for a high power system without the need for costly components required if ac power were used. Battery power is acceptable for low duty cycle applications such as composite curing and tooth whitening. The batteries may be recharged using either standard 110 V or 220 V house current and a charging circuit is included to charge the batteries. An elliptical reflector is used to direct the light from the xenon lamp to a flexible light guide. The system of the present invention is particularly suited to the curing of dental composites and tooth whitening procedures. Significantly improved methods of curing and whitening may be realized through the use of a high power light source of the present invention.

摘要： The present invention discloses an enhanced secondary electron emitter cathode suitable for use in a typical crossed-field amplifiers. The emitter surfaces of the cathode are formed into protuberances or knurls. The cathode's secondary emission characteristics are enhanced by providing protuberances with more surface area for electrons to bombard and for electrons to be emitted from. The protuberances increase the variety of angles of incidence of bombarding electrons thereby increasing the probability that bombarded electrons can escape the cathode's surfaces.

摘要： An apparatus and method for multiplexing a light beam such as a laser beam with one or more optical surfaces such as mirrors is taught. In one embodiment, the apparatus includes an electromagnet, an armature, and an optical device. The optical device is mounted on the armature. The armature and the electromagnet preferably form part of an electromagnetic relay, so that actuating the electromagnet creates an electromagnetic force which moves the armature from a rest position into a responsive position near the electromagnet, thereby moving the optical device into an active position wherein the optical device engages the light beam. In a presently preferred embodiment, the apparatus also includes a leaf spring which urges the armature, and hence the optical device, away from the electromagnet when the electromagnetic force is absent. According to the method of the present invention, the optical device engages the light beam at a substantially constant angle and at a substantially constant distance from the light beam's origin, thereby reducing or eliminating misdirection of the beam as the optical device travels between the active and passive positions.

摘要： The present invention provides a double helix coupled vane forward wave crossed-field amplifier utilizing individually cooled vanes in the RF slow-wave circuit. Specifically, a double helix coupled vane is machined to create a channel in the shape of a "U" on one side of the vane. A vane coolant tube formed in a corresponding U-shape is inserted and brazed to the machined vane. The vane assembly is then attached to the anode body of which the backwall has holes formed to accept the coolant tubes from each vane. Divided backwall coolant channels are brazed to the outside of the anode, thereby placing in fluid communication the coolant channels to the vane coolant tube. Accordingly, coolant is cycled through each vane tube and individual vanes of the anode are thus cooled.
