Title: A preassembled tray/shroud container
Inventor: GUNN CHARLES LLOYD
IPC: B65D5/28
Filed: 1994-07-15
Abstract: A tray/shroud shipping container which is convertible to a display container upon removal of the shroud 12 is preassembled before being filled with packaged goods from two separate blanks which are joined together to form the container. The container is made from a tray blank for forming the tray 11 and a shroud blank for forming the shroud 12.

Title: Electron gun arrangements
Inventor: DOBBS RICHARD JOHN
IPC: H01J23/065
Filed: 1995-02-17
Abstract: In electron gun arrangements particularly suitable for high power use such as in klystrons and IOTs, a grid support member 11 and cathode support member 17 are maintained spaced apart by a known distance d using non-conductive spacers such as cylindrical ceramic posts 16 distributed equidistantly around their circumference. The ends of the ceramic posts 16 are located in slots 15, 20 in the support members and arranged such that as the temperature, and hence the dimensions, of the gun assembly changes the distance d remains substantially constant. Hence, the spacing between the grid 6 and cathode 3 is maintained at substantially the predetermined required value. The posts 16 also permit relative radial movement, allowing transverse alignment to be maintained. <IMAGE>
