Latest Patents

Scholz is credited with 1 patent: “Stabilization of Z-pinch with directed radio frequency excitation.” The invention describes driving electric current through a Z-pinch plasma column inside an atmospheric isolation device, producing a Lorentz force. Radiofrequency energy is then supplied by one or more RF generators and directed toward the plasma column by RF applicators, generally perpendicular to the current’s direction. RF distributors deliver the energy to the applicators. The method is intended to stabilize the plasma during processing.
