Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a method comprising: emitting electrons from an electron ejector in response to an incident photon; driving the electrons through a hole toward a detector configured to collect the electrons and provide an output signal representative of the incident photon; driving the electrons away from sidewalls of the hole, using an electric field.

Example embodiments are directed to light sensing circuits having a relatively simpler structure by using light-sensitive oxide semiconductor transistors as light sensing devices, and remote optical touch panels and image acquisition apparatuses, each including the light sensing circuits. The light sensing circuit includes a light-sensitive oxide semiconductor transistor in each pixel, wherein the light-sensitive oxide semiconductor transistor is configured as a light sensing device, and a driving circuit that outputs data. The light sensing circuit may have a relatively simple circuit structure including a plurality of transistors in one pixel. As a result, the structure and operation of the light sensing circuit may be simplified.

In the light source integrated photoelectric conversion apparatus, the light-emitting element is formed on the same substrate as that of the plurality of photoelectric conversion element, one surface of the photoelectric conversion layer is disposed on the side opposite to the emission direction further away from the other surface of the light-emitting layer, and one surface of the light-emitting layer and the substrate face each other.
Abstract:
A high intensity discharge lamp includes an arc tube with a chemical fill, capillaries extended from the arc tube, electrodes fed through the capillaries into the arc tube, and a frit seal that seals the capillaries, where the frit seal includes silica (SiO2) in a range of more than 0 wt % to less than 5 wt %, alumina (Al2O3), and one of dysprosia (Dy2O3) and yttrium oxide (Y2O3). This frit seal material can withstand a higher operating temperature so that the length of the capillaries can be reduced compared to those sealed with conventional frit seal material.

Abstract:
A photoelectric tube, preferably a photomultiplier tube comprises a photoemissive cathode deposited on the inner faceplate of the tube envelope and a dynode assembly mounted within the envelope. The tube includes a generator containing an alkali metal source for deposition of alkali metal onto the cathode surface. The generator has means for directing the alkali metal vapors substantially toward the cathode surface and for preventing the alkali metal vapors from substantially depositing on the dynode assembly.
Abstract:
An image converter is disclosed which can be operated by means of a relatively low voltage D.C. supply. In this invention, the luminescent screen of the image converter is brought closer to the photocathode by forming the exit window with a frustrum-shaped platform with a top surface that is parallel to the entrance window, and upon which top surface the luminescent screen is mounted. As a result of the closer spacing between the photocathode and the luminescent screen, lower D.C. supply voltages can be utilized. Moreover, the shape of the housing which supports the two windows at the image converter is so designed that the interior surface of the housing is non-perpendicular to the equipotential lines of the electric field which is established between the photocathode and the luminescent screen. As a result of this geometrical relationship, avalanche discharge is reduced or eliminated altogether, thereby reducing or eliminating the undesirable arcing which can occur as a result of such avalanche discharge. Embodiments are taught for amplification of projected images in the visible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum, along with embodiments which can be utilized to form images of radioactive radiation, X-ray radiation and ultraviolet radiation.
