A discharge tube according to the present invention is constructed such that it comprises a cylindrical container made of an insulation tube, a pair of discharge electrodes provided at opposite ends of the cylindrical container, a plurality of insulation coated lines containing a gas-ionization accelerator therein, which insulation coated lines being provided on the inner surface of the cylindrical container covering the regions surrounding a cathode and a discharge space therein in a substantially parallel relation with a center axis of the cylindrical container, wherein the gas-ionization accelerator is made of a silicate powder selected from the group of alkaline metal, alkaline earth metal and so on, or of electrically conductive finely divided particles selected from the group of carbon, metal, metal oxide and so on. The discharge tube according to the present invention shows stabilized discharge inception characteristics even when the frequency of repetitive discharge is low, and in addition, it does not generate an inner creeping discharge even if it is continuously used for a long time, thereby providing a stabilized discharge operation.
摘要:
The discharge tube consists of an electrically insulating cylindrical body and a pair of electrodes disposed facing each other in the cylindrical body, and is sealed with an inert gas. An activation layer of a silicate compound of alkaline metal is formed over at least a part of the inner wall surface and the electrode surface, other than the discharge surface, that are exposed to the sealed gas. This activation layer helps keep the discharge inception voltage stable even when the discharge frequency changes greatly, which in turn extends the longevity of the discharge tube.

Only one pre-gap is arranged between the ignition coil and the distributor so that it is connected in series with each of the ignition plugs in the engine. A relay device is connected in parallel with the pre-gap. The relay device is normally closed to supply a high voltage from the ignition coil to the distributor, bypassing the pre-gap. Only when sensor signals indicate that the air-fuel combustion state is bad, the relay device is opened to cause the high voltage from the ignition coil to be applied to the pre-gap before being supplied to the distributor. This construction permits the single pre-gap to serve all the cylinders in the engine and prolongs the working life of the pre-gap.
摘要:
An ignition system has a series-gap discharge-bulb through which a high voltage is supplied to a center electrode of an ignition plug. A short-circuit element is made of a material that reversibly deforms when it is heated to a predetermined temperature when an engine is operated in a steady state. The short-circuit element is electrically connected to the plug such that two discharging electrodes are short-circuited by the short-circuit element when the short-circuit element is heated to thermally deform. The discharging electrodes may be made of a reversibly deformable material so that the electrodes deform into contact with each other when they are heated to a predetermined temperature.
摘要:
A flange, which is integrally formed with the inner surface of the cylindrical member, is located at an intermediate point between the end surface position of the cylindrical member to which the electrode plate of one of the discharge electrodes is sealed and the tip position of the discharge electrode portion of that electrode. Both end surfaces of the cylindrical member are hermetically attached with the discharge electrodes. This arrangement prevents inner flashovers without affecting the discharge characteristics of the discharge tube and also ensures manufacture of discharge tubes with no possibility of gas leakage with very high yields even if the machining precision is not so high.

Furthermore, in this ignition system with a series gap which includes a discharge tube provided with the series gap with one end connected to the center electrode side of the spark plug and the other end connected to the high-tension cable extending from the high-voltage distribution side, there is provided a conductive member enclosing the cathode side of the discharge device to be installed in the casing.
摘要:
Illumination devices (7a) and (7b) which irradiate light having a wavelength of 1.1 μm or less are arranged on a front surface and a rear surface of a cover (8) of a dicing device (1). After a wafer is placed on a dicing stage (3), when the wafer is diced by a blade (4a) attached to a spindle (5), light is irradiated on an entire surface of an upper surface (element forming surface) of the wafer by the illumination devices (7a) and (7b). At this time, an illuminance of light on the wafer is set at 70 lux or more and 2000 lux or less. By this means, during a dicing operation, an area to be a light-shielded area by the spindle (5) or the like is not present on the wafer.
