| Number | Title | Issue Date |
| 6971939 | Non-oxidizing electrode arrangement for excimer lamps A non-oxidizing electrode arrangement for an excimer lamp that is formed by coating an electrode of the lamp with a layer of protective layer that prevents the electrode from oxidizing. The protective layer is preferably transparent and possesses a low permeability ... | 12/06/2005 |
| 6965629 | Method and apparatus for initiating a pulsed arc discharge for nanopowder synthesis A nanopowder synthesis system having an autofuser device which obviates the need for external power switches, and which accommodates repeated discharges (of the order of 107) between ablating electrodes of precursor material at a high repetition rate (≧... | 11/15/2005 |
| 6633109 | Dielectric barrier discharge-driven (V)UV light source for fluid treatment The present invention provides a DBD lamp used in fluid treatment systems, where the irradiated fluid is used as a low voltage outer electrode instead of a metallic wire mesh. This fluid is in direct contact with the lamp envelope which acts as a two-fold... | 10/14/2003 |
| 4970440 | Orientation independent ignitron with grooved cathode An orientation independent ignitron (OII) has an anode, a cathode with a plurality of spaced grooves facing the anode, and a cooling mechanism which causes liquid metal vapor to condense as a film which is retained on the grooved cathode surface by surfac... | 11/13/1990 |
| 4939410 | Electrode arrangement with liquid-metal electrode of controllable surface Electrode arrangement with liquid-metal electrode of controllable surface, comprising a liquid-metal reservoir, a capillary connected thereto through a controllable valve and contact means being in electric contact with the liquid-metal in the capillary. ... | 07/03/1990 |
| 4264839 | Orientation independent ignitron Orientation independent ignitron 10 has a cooled cathode 28 which carries thin mercury film 58 which is held in place by surface tension forces so that it is independent of orientation. Ignitor 48 starts conduction which continues until mercury exhaustion... | 04/28/1981 |
