| 20090022892 | PROCESS FOR MANUFACTURING DEVICES CARRYING AT LEAST ONE ACTIVE MATERIAL BY DEPOSITION OF A LOW-MELTING ALLOY - A process is provided for manufacturing devices that carry an active material. The process involves the continuous deposition of a strip of low-melting alloy in the liquid state on a ribbon of a metal net or a micro-perforated and stretched sheet metal, which surface has been pre-treated, for example by means of deoxidation. The ribbon is preferably prepared for subsequent cutting into individual components with active material. The deposition can occur by immersion into laminar wave or into a constant jet, by spraying of small drops or by liquid dispensation. | 01-22-2009 |
| 20090032767 | Mercury Dispensing Compositions and Device Using the Same - Compositions for mercury dispensing in lamps are disclosed, comprising a first component comprising mercury and at least a metal selected between titanium and zirconium and a second component consisting of aluminum or either a compound or an alloy including at least 40% by weight of aluminum, wherein the weight ratio between the first and the second component is equal to or lower than 9:1; optionally, the compositions may also include a third component, selected among metals or oxides capable of reacting exothermically with aluminum. | 02-05-2009 |
| 20090148635 | NON-EVAPORABLE GETTER ALLOYS BASED ON YTTRIUM FOR HYDROGEN SORPTION - Non-evaporable getter alloys, such as Y 75%-Mn 15%-Al 10%, are provided and can be activated at relatively low temperatures and have good properties in sorbing a wide variety of gases, particularly hydrogen. | 06-11-2009 |
| 20090267510 | DISCHARGE LAMP - In a discharge lamp comprising a discharge vessel enclosed with space by an outer, a hydrogen getter is used comprising more than 70% by weight of Y and one or more Y alloys from Al and/or Mn. The getter effectively removes hydrogen from the outer bulb. | 10-29-2009 |
| 20100001230 | MERCURY RELEASING METHOD - A method includes releasing mercury in devices requiring mercury, in particular fluorescent lamps. The method includes the use of manganese-mercury compositions. | 01-07-2010 |
