Glow Discharge Phenomena

Breakdown in Electrical Feedthroughs- Effects of Gases, Vacuum, Dielectric Surfaces and Gap Spacings on the Dielectric Withstanding Voltage   Vacuum feedthrough connectors are designed to pass current, impress voltage or connect power across a sealed boundary. These electrical products provide an insulated connection between atmospheric pressure on the air-side and

Spring Energized Seals

Spring-Energized, Metallic, Gasket-Sealed Windows Versus Diffusion Bonded Windows Diffusion Bonded Windows Diffusion bonding operates on the principle of solid-state diffusion. Given enough time at an elevated temperature, atoms of two solid surfaces become comingled. Diffusion bonding typically applies high pressure as well as high temperature to the materials to be
