A power system comprises a generator for generating electrical current, a rechargeable electrical storage device connectable to a load, and a source of non-electrical energy for driving the generator, the arrangement being such that energy output by the generator in excess of the power requirement of a load when connected to the battery is used to charge the battery.

Light source device which can be used as a replacement light source for an ArI excimer laser. The light emitted from a Nd:YAG laser light source (L1) is incident on a nonlinear optical crystal (C1) and produces a second harmonic which is transmitted to a titanium-sapphire laser light source (L2). The light emitted by the titanium-sapphire laser light source (L2) is incident on nonlinear optical crystals (C2, C3) by which coherent light (W2) as the third harmonic is obtained. Light with a summed ...

An apparatus for biological treatment comprises a body, a light source inside the body, a concave mirror mounted in an axial guide on a side of the body, an optical filter on the opposite side in an opening, a fan between the source and the concave mirror, two reflector cylinders positioned symmetrically between the source and the optical filter and rotating in opposite directions, and a rotary shalter disc at the same location as the optical filter and with orifices positioned coaxially with re...

A system for the supply of electrical energy by means of one or more high-power electrochemical cells. The system comprises a housing, such cell or cells being located at least partially in said housing and a fan or fans actuated during heavy discharge of the cell or cells to prevent the temperature rise of the cell or cells above a certain value. The system is of importance for high power cells, such as the various types of lithium cells, calcium, lithium alloy and calcium alloy cells. Temperat...

A display device (10) positions emitters (34,36,37,38,41,42,43,44,46, and 47) equidistant from a meander conductor (26). The meander conductor (26) is formed with a pattern that facilitates such equidistant placement. The equidistant placement results in approximately equal ballast resistor values for each emitter (34,36,37,38,41,42,43,44,46, and 47).

An electron source comprises cathode means and a permanent magnet. A plurality of channels disposed in the magnet in a two dimensional array of rows and columns and extending between opposite poles of the magnet. The magnet generates, in each channel, a magnetic field which forms electrons received from the cathode means into an electron beam for guidance towards a target. Grid electrode means are disposed between the cathode means and the magnet for controlling flow of electrons from the cathod...

A Lambertian light source assembly has high uniformity, large size, and high brightness, typically having a non-uniformity about 10% or less (e.g. about 5%), and a surface brightness of at least about 2000 footlamberts. The assembly includes a light emitting element (such as a single arc lamp, e.g. a metal halide lamp), a first reflector having an interior diffuse reflective surface comprising a portion of a surface of revolution and a center axis, a second reflector, and a diffuser. The diffuse...

An LED light source for a lensed lamp is described. An LED chip sits in a hollow having a rectangular floor. A lower portion of the hollow has steep walls and accommodates the part of the chip that does not emit light. An upper part of the hollow has four side reflectors extending parallel to the sides of the chip and four corner reflectors. The hollow is formed by coining. The light source provides more uniform light than do previous arrangements having convergent lenses. The vertical viewing a...

A method and circuit for producing an output current is provided. The method and circuit adds two currents with opposing temperature coefficients to produce such output current. A first one of the two currents, I.sub.1, is a scaled copy of current produced in a temperature compensated bandgap reference circuit. A second one of the two currents, I.sub.2, is derived from a temperature stable voltage produced by the bandgap circuit divided by a positive temperature coefficient resistance. The added...

A radiation source for invasive medical treatment, such as intracoronary radiotherapy or other such intravascular radiotherapy, is described. The radiation source includes a thread extending longitudinally within a sleeve. The sleeve is a hollow circular cylinder, sealed at either end, made from a polyimide resin, and is configured such that it is sufficiently flexible enough to be used for intravascular radiotherapy. A plurality of laser-drilled holes are configured in an evenly spaced pattern ...
