Appl. No.:

7/989090

Litton Systems, Inc. - Beverly Hills CA

International Classification:

H03F 354
H01J 2550

US Classification:

330 47

Abstract:

A crossed-field amplifier is provided which has an anode and a cathode creating an electric field across a magnetic field formed in an interaction area. A field emitter is disposed within a slot formed on an outer surface of the cathode. The field emitter emits an electron current in response to the electric field to provide priming electrons for improving the start up time of the amplifier. The electron current produced by the field emitter has been shown to initiate secondary emissions of electrons from the cathode to reduce irregular start-up or "jitter" typically experienced with the amplifier at low pulse repetition frequencies. In an alternative embodiment of the invention, a thermionic emitting filament is disposed in a space between adjacent anode vanes of the amplifier. The filament emits electrons in response to an external power source. A portion of the emitted electrons tend to impact the anode vanes, creating x-rays which impact the cathode surface to initiate secondary emissions of electrons.

Appl. No.:

6/651603

Inventors:

Edward J. Doyle - Hatboro PA

Assignee:

Conair Corporation - Edison NJ

International Classification:

A45D 212

US Classification:

132 33R

Abstract:

A hair roller is provided having a central cylindrical barrel of uniform diameter and flanged ends. The barrel is covered with a sleeve of elastomeric material. In order to fit the sleeve around the barrel, the roller structure is made of two inter-engageable, snap-fit sections. Each section has one end flange and, together, the sections form the barrel. The elastomeric sleeve is placed over the barrel and the sections are joined by snap-fit inter-engagement.

International Classification:

A45D 100

US Classification:

132 9

Abstract:

A portable combination moisturizer and dryer which includes a base, a head supporting assembly, and a head assembly into which the rest of the unit can nest for carrying and for storage. The head assembly includes a generally annular air distribution plenum for receiving moisture-laden or drying air and directing it radially inwardly. In a preferred embodiment, a squirrel-cage blower is contained in an impeller housing disposed in the lower portion of the head supporting assembly, which lower portion is mounted for adjustable pivotal movement with respect to the base. The upper portion of the head supporting assembly terminates in a horizontally disposed manifold constituting a portion of the plenum, to provide for passage of either moisture-laden air or drying air through the head mounting assembly and into the interior of the plenum, while also permitting adjustment of the position of the head assembly with respect to the head mounting assembly. The intermediate portion of the head mounting assembly is divided into two separate sections. The air heater is provided in one of the sections which defines the impeller-driven air conduit, and a steam generator is provided in the other section, along with means for directing the generated steam into the horizontal manifold.

Inventors:

Edward J. Doyle - Hatboro PA

Assignee:

Conair Corporation - Edison NJ

International Classification:

B01D 5000

US Classification:

55481

Abstract:

There is disclosed a readily assemblable, inexpensively manufactured table top air filter of the type having a circulating fan. A unitary housing has sides and a top which defines air outlet openings. The bottom of the housing is open. A fan support assembly mounts readily within the housing where it is retained by stops and latch members which are integral with the housing sides. A replaceable filter is also mountable within the housing in line with the fan-induced air flow.
