Latest Patents
One of Rogers' latest patents is titled "Method of using an areal array of tubular electron sources." This invention discloses an areal array of tubular electron sources designed to produce multiple directed electron beams. The sources are arranged in a parallel array between a conductive back plate at the closed end of the tubes and a conductive face plate with holes aligned with the open ends of each electrode tube. An electrical current source is connected between the back plate and face plate to resistively heat each of the sources to a temperature sufficient for thermionic electron emission. The resulting electron beams are produced from within each tubular electrode, and extraction means, which may include a magnetic field and an extraction lens, withdraw the electrons in an intense, collimated beam. These beams are then accelerated toward a target through a beam deflection unit, allowing for precise targeting.
