20140042342 | FLASH LAMPS IN A CONTINUOUS MOTION PROCESS - A system controls a group of flash lamps to provide energy to a work product in a continuous motion processes. The system can identify optimal relationships among various parameters, including the speed of the target material, the physical spacing of the flash lamps, the pulse frequency, and the flash sequence of the lamps. The systems can respond to changes in conditions to automatically adjust parameters. These systems can be applied to design practical sintering, annealing, and/or curing systems. | 02-13-2014 |
20130099693 | CIRCUIT FOR FLASH LAMP - A circuit for a gas discharge system includes a pulse forming circuit, a discharge lamp, a circuit for recovering energy from the discharge lamp when a trigger to the lamp is turned off, a high voltage switch between the lamp and ground, and a two-part dissipating circuit across the switch. The system can provide a flat response with highly controllable pulse width. | 04-25-2013 |
20130043221 | Sintering Process and Apparatus - A two-step pulse lamp sintering process using a series of low energy light pulses to pre-treat the target before applying one or more higher energy pulses to sinter the metallic nanoparticles. The pulses can be provided so that nanoparticles are not sintered by the low energy pulse(s), but are sintered by the high energy pulse(s). | 02-21-2013 |
20120017829 | REDUCTION OF STRAY LIGHT DURING SINTERINIG - A conductive particle sintering system has light blocking coating, aperture, or shutter to allow energy from a radiant source, such as a flash lamp, to reach a desired portion of a workpiece to be sintered, while blocking stray light from reaching other workpieces and/or other portions of a workpiece being processed to prevent stray light from partially sintering the other workpieces and/or other portions of a workpiece. | 01-26-2012 |
20100223843 | INCREASING VITAMIN D CONTENT OF MUSHROOMS WITH UV LIGHT - The vitamin D content of a mushroom can be increased by exposing the mushroom to a lamp that emits UVA and UVB, but not UVC radiation. The need for ozone ventilation is eliminated by utilizing a lamp that does not emit the shorter UVC wavelengths. | 09-09-2010 |
20090147524 | POINT LIGHT SOURCE WITH ACCURATE POSITIONING - A lamp system that has two opposed electrodes for forming an arc with end cap connection has an electrode and a connector made from a unitary conductor as opposed to two parts that need to be connected and positioned after connection. The lamp assembly is particularly useful in cases in which accurate positioning of the arc is useful or even critical such as an application's used to provide light for an optical fiber or other small target. | 06-11-2009 |
