Gas-sealed stub tuner for microwave systems

Patent Ripley, Edward B.

A stub tuner apparatus includes a body portion having a first end and a second end and defining an internal space configured to carry electromagnetic energy. A gas-sealed pocket extends from the body portion such that, when the body portion forms a portion of a gas-sealed environment, the stub tuner apparatus is gas sealed. A stub is disposed in the gas-sealed pocket and the apparatus includes a linear translation means for moving the stub at least partially out from and into the pocket and at least partially into and out from the internal space without breaching the gas-sealed environment ofmore » the stub tuner apparatus. « less

RF driven sulfur lamp having driving electrodes arranged to cool the lamp

Patent Gabor, George [820 Skywood Rd., Lafayette, CA 94549]; Orr, Thomas Robert [2285 Vestal, Castro Valley, CA 94546]; Greene, Charles Maurice [6450 Regent St., Oakland, CA 94618]; ...

A high intensity discharge lamp without mercury is disclosed radiating a selected spectrum of which can be almost entirely in the visible range from an envelope that contains a sulfur containing substance. The lamp utilizes a signal source that generates an excitation signal that is externally coupled to the exterior surface of the envelope to excite the enclosed sulfur containing substance. Various embodiments of the lamp use electrodes adjacent the envelope to couple the excitation signal thereto with the face of the electrodes shaped to complement the shape of the exterior surface of the envelope. Two shapes discussed are sphericalmore » « less

High frequency inductive lamp and power oscillator

Patent MacLennan, Donald A [Gaithersburg, MD]; Dymond, Jr., Lauren E. (North Potomac, MD); Gitsevich, Aleksandr [Montgomery Village, MD]; ...

A high frequency inductively coupled electrodeless lamp includes an excitation coil with an effective electrical length which is less than one half wavelength of a driving frequency applied thereto, preferably much less. The driving frequency may be greater than 100 MHz and is preferably as high as 915 MHz. Preferably, the excitation coil is configured as a non-helical, semi-cylindrical conductive surface having less than one turn, in the general shape of a wedding ring. At high frequencies, the current in the coil forms two loops which are spaced apart and parallel to each other. Configured appropriately, the coil approximates amore » « less
