Abstract:
A filament for a light bulb includes a tube and a filament material within the tube, wherein the filament material is configured to be in a liquid state while the light bulb is in use.
Abstract:
A filament of simple structure showing improved conversion efficiency is provided. There is provided a light source device comprising a light-transmitting gas-tight container, a filament disposed in the light-transmitting gas-tight container, and a lead wire for supplying an electric current to the filament, wherein the filament consists of a single crystal. Sum of concentration of lattice defects and impurity concentration of the filament consisting of a single crystal is preferably lower than 0.01%.
Abstract:
An energy converter according to the present invention includes a filament 11 for converting given energy into electromagnetic waves and radiating the waves, and a radiation suppressing portion for suppressing some of the electromagnetic waves (e.g., infrared rays), which have been radiated from the filament 11 and of which the wavelengths exceed a predetermined value. The radiation suppressing portion has a bundle 12 of fine wires 12a, of which the axial direction is aligned with a direction in which the electromagnetic waves propagate with their radiations suppressed.
Abstract:
In a process to make a nano-structured component, such as a photonic crystal or an emitter (10) which can be led to incandescence through the passage of electric current, at least one layer made of anodized porous alumina (1) is used as sacrificial element for the structuring of at least a part of the component (10).
Abstract:
A photonic-crystal filament is formed by mixing a slurry comprising particles of substantially uniform size and a precursor material for a desired metal, urging the slurry through an orifice to force the particles and precursor material into a combination having a desired crystallographic configuration, drying the combination emerging from the orifice, and sintering the precursor material.
Abstract:
A light emitting device which emits visible light through heat radiation of a tungsten filament. Photonic crystal structures in each of which Ag spheres are arranged in a TiO2 film are provided around the filament. Whereas radiation of infrared light from the filament is suppressed, radiation of visible light is enhanced.
Abstract:
A method of forming tungsten ingots having improved uniformity of density and improved uniformity in distribution of dopant within the ingot is disclosed. Doped tungsten powder is disposed in a cylindrical mold having sealing means at both ends. The powder completely fills a void space within the mold between the sealing means so that there is substantially no settling of the powder. A pressure of about 560 kg/cm.sup.2 is applied uniformly to the outer surface of the mold to form a cylindrical compact. The compact is removed from the mold and resistance sintered to a density of at least about 85 percent of theoretical density to form the ingot.

Abstract:
A method for manufacturing a high ductility and high hot tensile strength tungsten wire for incandescent lamp filaments is disclosed. The method comprises the steps of preparing a tungsten alloy, swaging a tungsten rod from the alloy, and drawing the swaged rod to wire size in multiple drawing passes. In the method, the wire is annealed between predetermined draws. It is proposed that an annealing is performed before the final drawing pass, by annealing the wire at a temperature between 1100-1300° C.There is also provided a tungsten wire for incandescent lamp filament, which has high ductility and high hot tensile strength. The tungsten wire of the invention has a cold tensile strength-hot tensile strength ratio not exceeding 3.5.
