Abstract:
A lead-in conductor and method of manufacture for use in electrical devices. The lead-in conductor comprises outer and inner lead wires, a foil and a tab material of a specific melting point such that the tab material melts to form a high-currentcarrying joint between the lead wires and the foil.
Abstract:
A single-ended lamp, having a pinch seal at one end and a tipped-off residue of an exhaust tube at the other end, has a wall bumper, located near the envelope end containing the tippedoff residue, which comprises a large diameter turn of wire and several small diameter turns of wire connected to a power lead. A method of manufacturing a lamp which utilizes a wall bumper to prevent mount movement during pinch sealing and which also permits the envelope to be effectively flushed with an inert gas thereby reducing lamp part oxidation during pinch sealing.
Abstract:
A regenerative cycle incandescent lamp containing bromine or iodine as a halogen has a mount structure all of which is made of a highly ductile molybdenum. The particular molybdenum has a percentage of elongation which is greater than 20%.
