Abstract

A plasma source incorporates a furnace as a hollow anode, while a coaxial cathode is disposed therewithin. The source is located in a housing provided with an ionizable gas such that a glow discharge is produced between anode and cathode. Radiation or ionic emission from the glow discharge characterizes a sample placed within the furnace and heated to elevated temperatures. 5 figs.

Hollow electrode plasma excitation source

Patent Ballou, Nathan E. (West Richland, WA)

A plasma source incorporates a furnace as a hollow anode, while a coaxial cathode is disposed therewithin. The source is located in a housing provided with an ionizable gas such that a glow discharge is produced between anode and cathode. Radiation or ionic emission from the glow discharge characterizes a sample placed within the furnace and heated to elevated temperatures.

Negative ion source with hollow cathode discharge plasma

Patent Hershcovitch, A.; Prelec, K.

A negative ion source of the type where negative ions are formed by bombarding a low-work-function surface with positive ions and neutral particles from a plasma, wherein a highly ionized plasma is injected into an anode space containing the low-work-function surface is described. The plasma is formed by hollow cathode discharge and injected into the anode space along the magnetic field lines. Preferably, the negative ion source is of the magnetron type.

Segmented plasma excitation-recombination light source

Patent Silfvast, W.T.; Sgeto, L.H.; Wood, O.R. II

An electrical signal, such as a high current pulse, is applied to a series of two or more conducting strips installed in series in a laser cavity containing either a buffer gas or a vacuum. The strips are separated by small gaps. When the electrical signal is applied to the strips, plasmas are formed in the gap regions. The plasmas are comprised of ions from the strip material. Once formed, these plasmas expand hemispherically, cool and recombine to generate radiation. The composition of the plasmas depends on the strip material, the electric field in the gaps, the gap size andmore » the background gas type and pressure.« less
High performance methanol-oxygen fuel cell with hollow fiber electrode

Patent Lawson, D. D.; Ingham, J. D.

A methanol/air-oxygen fuel cell is disclosed including an electrode formed by open-ended ion-exchange hollow fibers having a layer of catalyst deposited on the inner surface thereof and a first current collector in contact with the catalyst layer. A second current collector external of said fibers is provided which is immersed along with the hollow fiber electrode in an aqueous electrolyte body. Upon passage of air or oxygen through the hollow fiber electrode and introduction of methanol into the aqueous electrolyte, a steady current output is obtained. Two embodiments of the fuel cell are disclosed. In the first embodiment the secondmore »« less
