Abstract:
A gas discharge tube having intersecting conductors which are loosely situated in grooves of an insulating plate having open sides remote from the base of the tube. The insulating plate is kept urged against a window plate by a spring. The electrodes are connected to lead-in conductors placed close together in the base plate of the tube. The lead-in conductors pass through ceramic tubes inserted in the base plate of the tube and are vacuum sealed by means of a vitreous insulating material.
Abstract:
A GAUZE ELECTRODE FOR VIDICON ("PLUMBICON") HAVING A DIAMETER OF 15 MM. OR SMALLER. A MAXIMUM LIGHT TRANSMISSION OF THE GAUZE ELECTRODE IS OBTAINED BY FIRST ETCHING COPPER GAUZE WHICH IS MANUFACTURED BY ELECTRODEPOSITION TO A LIGHT TRANSMISSION OF 70% AND THEN SECURING IS BY DIFFUSION AT APPROXIMATELY 2/3 OF THE MELTING TEMPERATURE OF THE MATERIAL OF THE GAUZE BETWEEN TWO COPPER-NICKEL RINGS. THE WIDTH OF THE RINGS IS SMALLER THAN 15% OF THEIR ORIGINAL OUTSIDE DIMENSION.
Abstract:
An electrode for making parallel slots in metal plates by spark erosion is formed by tantalum strips separated by spacing layers of molybdenum. The layers are soldered by silver. The molybdenum and silver are then etched away over a given distance so that only the tantalum electrodes protrude.
Abstract:
An electron gun the first perforated electrode of which, which surrounds the cathode, consists of a perforated plate of nickel which is secured to a cylinder consisting of a copper-nickel alloy. (FIG. 3.
