Abstract
A glow discharge tube comprising a gas-sealed envelope, a first electrode, and a second electrode. The gas-sealed envelope defining an interior with an interior surface defining a first interior portion with a first interior surface and a second interior portion with a second interior surface. The first electrode being located within the first interior portion, and the second electrode being located within and in contact with the second interior portion.
Claims20
A glow discharge tube comprising:
- a gas-sealed envelope defining an interior with an interior surface defining a first interior portion with a first interior surface and a second interior portion with a second interior surface;
- a first electrode having a first portion and a first exterior surface at least a portion of the first electrode being located within the first interior portion;
- and
- a second electrode having:
- a first distal end,
- a second distal end space from and facing the first electrode;
- and
- a second exterior surface located within the second interior portion and interconnecting the first distal end and the second distal end, with at least a portion of the second exterior surface directly contacting at least a portion of the second interior surface.
A glow discharge tube comprising:
- a gas-sealed envelope defining an interior with an interior surface having:
- a first interior portion with a first interior surface, the first interior portion having a first cross-sectional area normal to the first interior surface;
- a second interior portion with a second interior surface, the second interior portion having a second cross-sectional area normal to the second interior surface, with the first cross-sectional area being larger than the second cross-sectional area;
- a first electrode having a first distal end and a first exterior surface, at least a portion of the first electrode being located within the first interior portion;
- and
- a second electrode having a second distal end and a second exterior surface, the second distal end spaced from and facing the first distal end and the second exterior surface being located within the second interior portion, with at least a portion of the second exterior surface is in contact with the second interior surface.
A glow discharge tube comprising:
- a gas-sealed envelope defining an interior with an interior surface defining a first interior portion with a first interior surface and a second interior portion with a second interior surface;
- a first electrode having a first distal end and a first exterior surface, at least a portion of the first electrode being located within the first interior portion;
- and
- a second electrode having a second distal end and a second exterior surface, the second distal end spaced from and facing the first distal end and the second exterior surface being located within the second interior portion, with at least a portion of the second exterior surface is in contact with the second interior surface;
- wherein at least one of the first distal end or the second distal end includes a non-planar topography.
