gas-filled tube

The recently developed sulfur lamps are also gas-filled tubes when hot.

While traveling between mirrors, the beams pass through gas-filled tubes.

Some exceptions to this are dealt with in the section about gas-filled tubes below.

In the Thermedics system, the air sample is heated and sent through a gas-filled tube.

A low steady current can be used to illustrate the spectrum of gases in a Gas-filled tube.

"As I see it, inside the gas-filled tube is a colony of trained fleas.

A gas-filled tube can also be used as a shunt, particularly in a lightning arrestor.

Aston studied the current through a gas-filled tube.

An ignitron is a type of gas-filled tube used as a controlled rectifier and dating from the 1930s.

Gas strobe beacons consist of a gas-filled tube surrounded by a lens.

For resupplying gas for gas-filled tubes, replenishers are employed.

Xenon flash lamps are gas-filled tubes used in cameras and strobe lights to produce bright flashes of light.

In a gas-filled tube, xenon emits a blue or lavenderish glow when the gas is excited by electrical discharge.

A discharge tube, or a gas-filled tube is an arrangement of electrodes in an insulated container, containing a gas.

It was lit by three gas-filled tubes, whose light was reflected sparkling from the walls and ceiling, the whole giving the effect of a many-chandeliered ball-room.

CFLs have two main components: a magnetic or electronic ballast and a gas-filled tube (also called bulb or burner).

Neon lamps and neon signage (most of which is not neon based these days) are also low-pressure gas-filled tubes.

Z Cold cathode and/or gas-filled tubes, or tubes employing photosensitive materials)

Geiger counter: a radiation detection and measuring instrument consisting of a gas-filled tube containing electrodes, between which an electrical voltage but no current flows.

Radiation has detrimental effects on gas-filled tubes, ionizing the gas inside and increasing its electrical conductivity, interfering with the functionality of the tubes.

The pseudospark switch, also known as a cold-cathode thyratron due to the similarities with regular thyratrons, is a gas-filled tube capable of high speed switching.

As in all mercury-based gas-filled tubes, mercury is slowly absorbed into glass, phosphor, and tube electrodes throughout the lamp life, where it can no longer function.

The accompanying plot shows the variation of voltage drop and the different operating regions for a gas-filled tube with a constant pressure, but a varying current between its electrodes.

Ultraviolet detectors generally use either a solid-state device, such as one based on silicon carbide or aluminium nitride, or a gas-filled tube as the sensing element.

The branch-duplexer often includes a gas-filled tube that has high attenuation for high power microwaves but no attenuation for low power microwaves.
