Water cooled anode increases life of high temperature arc lamp

Water cooling system increases the life of the anode of a high temperature compact arc lamp. A shaped water passage is provided through the tip or hottest point of the anode so that water will flow through it at a relatively high velocity.

Low cost SCR lamp driver indicates contents of digital computer registers

Silicon Controlled Rectifier /SCR/ lamp driver is adapted for use in integrated circuit digital computers where it indicates the contents of the various registers. The threshold voltage at which visual indication begins is very sharply defined and can be adjusted to suit particular system requirements.

A prototype high power portable lamp

Portable lighting system serves the combined work and photographic needs of manned spacecraft efforts. This system enables the lamps to be momentarily brightened while the camera shutter is opened. The brightness is adequate for black and white or color photography and yet the increased heat load is nil.

Hydrogen flash lamps studied

Parameters of gas pressure, type of gas, tube voltage, and electrode gap are tested on the intensity and shape of a radiation pulse from a hydrogen-filled lamp.

Improved ultraviolet resonance lamp

Removal of the seal area from the path of the lamp discharge eliminates the gradual deterioration of lithium fluoride window surfaces from condensation of products formed by interaction of a resonant rare-gas discharge with window sealing materials. The discharge is confined to the inner tube.

A conceptual current surge protector for incandescent lamps

Negative-temperature coefficient device /thermistor/ in series with a lamp filament alleviates high filament surge current during initial application of power. The thermistor should be selected for a cold resistance approximately equal to one fourth of the normal hot resistance of the filaments to be protected.

Circuit minimizes current drain caused by neon indicator lamps

Circuit lights neon lamp by back leakage current of the driving transistor, rather than by the transistors saturation or ''on-state'' current, thereby eliminating lowering of the voltage necessary for indication. Circuit has operating speed greater than indication circuit using a saturation principle and aids in power rationing.
