 High Voltage (1929)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
HIGH VOLTAGE (Pathe, 1929), directed by Howard Higgin, is an early film talkie about a bus carrying numerous passengers attempting to cross Nevada's alkali flats in the dead of winter.
HIGH VOLTAGE is not top-of-the-art cinema, in fact, forgetting when this was made (1929), it's either horrible or unbearable, whichever a viewer prefers.
Available on video cassette and later DVD, HIGH VOLTAGE is only recommended to lovers of bad cinema, or to film buffs wanting to see it only as a curio.

  Designing Ampiifiers, Part 3
The output voltage may be switched down without switching the supply off--provided that the amplifier is in standby.
The voltage is adjusted until the AC current is equal to the expected maximum output current of the power supply.
The amplitude of the RF voltage produced is proportional to the Q of the anode resonant circuit.

 Electronics 29
For a nominal high voltage supply of 800 V, the voltages at the nodes on the voltage divider are shown.
The maximum voltage across the 1W metal-film resistors is 350 V. They serve the dual purpose of equalizing the voltages on the filter capacitors and acting as a bleeder to discharge the capacitors when the supply is turned off.
The deflection sensitivity at 1000V accelerating voltage is 195-265 V/in on deflecting electrodes 1 and 2 (the ones nearer to the screen, pins 3 and 8), and 167-225 V/in on deflecting electrodes 3 and 4.

 Kodak: History of Kodak: Capturing an Image
After the emulsion hardens and dries on the base, the film is slit into rolls, spooled if needed, and packaged in the familiar yellow boxes.
Output circuitry moves the electrons from the pixels and converts the signal to a voltage; the brighter the light that hit the pixel the higher the voltage.
This voltage is then converted to a digital number and the image is transmitted to a display or storage device, like a memory card.

 The Approx. Perfect Amplifier manuscript
In a high amplification tube such as the 3-500Z, the filament helices clear the grid cage by a matter of thousandths of an inch.
At this voltage, the cathode would probably be worn out in 400 hours of operation - and this one was.
For measuring AC filament voltage, linearity at the low end of the meter scale is not important.

 Secrets of Home Theater and High Fidelity Volume 1, 1994
A high positive voltage accelerates the negatively charged electrons from the filament in a thin beam toward the face of the TV screen where they strike a phosphor coating.
If we were to show the 24 frames of film per second on TV in the usual two fields per frame, we would end up with only 48 fields per second, which would result in 12 fields per second (6 frames) being left over from the 60 fields per second (30 frames) of TV scanning.
High aspect ratio (2.35:1) movies do appear a bit odd (blank areas at the top and bottom of the TV screen) when seen on TV in the original ratio, probably because they were filmed for viewing on large theater screens.

 D-76 type Film developers by Ryuji Suzuki   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
High volume processing industries such as biomedical imaging (electron microscopy, X-ray, etc.) and graphics art processing (killed by digital technilogy before 21st century) were two of the first targeted markets for ascorbate based developers.
For one, if the film broke and had to be spliced it was no longer possible to keep the record in synchrony with the picture.
Films used for sound negatives tended to have thin emulsions but, in the early days, all sorts of tricks were used to try to confine the image near the surface of the film, at least on the negative.

 Camera for Conical Peripheral and Panoramic Photography
The film in the camera is made to move at right angles to the axis of rotation of the subject and in the same direction as it's image.
Film velocity can be adjusted as the plane changes velocity by making a visual comparison between the motion of the ground's image with the motion of a chain which is matched mechanically to the velocity of the film.
In both instances the film disc must be turned in such a direction that it matches the direction in which the image moves with respect to the slit in the camera.

 Thomas Townsend Brown: British Patent # 300,311 -- Gravitator
When the direct current with high voltage (75-300 kilovolts) is applied the gravitator swings up the arc until its propulsive force balances the force of the earth's gravity resolved to that point, then it stops, but it does not remain there.
If the voltage were increased beyond that maximum the action would decrease to zero and thence to the positive-to-negative direction.
The purpose of the safety gaps is to limit the voltage imposed on the motor to the predetermined maximum and to prevent puncture.

 Letters Patent 1869397 - Insulator
The high voltage can be induced on these restricted areas either by raising the voltage on the entire insulator or by raising the voltage on the restricted areas only by wetting the rest of the insulator.
The result will be that the film of moisture which is represented by the dotted line 9 is not continuous but extends to the lip of the flange petticoat 7 as indicated at 10 from above, and to a point adjacent the overhang of the petticoat as indicated at 11 from below.
Now if the film of moisture were continuous as shown in Figure 3, a discharge of current flow would occur but it would be quiet and would not arc, being in that respect like a very high resistance wire or other conductor.

 Carole Lombard's grave   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Lombard made her film debut at the age of twelve after she was seen playing baseball in the street by director Allan Dwan, who cast her as a tom-boy in A Perfect Crime (1921).
Her final film, To Be or Not to Be, directed by Ernst Lubitsch and co-starring Jack Benny ― a satire about the Nazism and the World War II ― was in post-production at the time of her death.
The film's producers decided to cut the part of the film in which her character asks, "What can happen in a plane?" as they felt it was in poor taste, given the circumstances of Lombard's death.

 Electrochemistry Encyclopedia --- Electrochemical capacitors
The high degree of reversibility of charge acceptance and delivery, and hence capability for excellent operating power levels compared with batteries of comparable size arises because no slow chemical processes or phase changes take place between charge and discharge as they do in most battery-type electrical charge generating devices.
Nevertheless, with non-aqueous electrolyte capacitors, which have higher operating voltages up to 3.0 to 3.5 V (hence 9 to 12 times energy density which depends on the square of maximum operating voltage), the distributed ohmic effects are more significant so that achievable operating power levels are less than those attainable with aqueous electrolyte devices.
The high power-density capability of electrochemical capacitors has led them to be employed in hybrid configurations with batteries and fuel cells in a load-leveling function, for example in electric vehicles.

 Generateur electrostatique Van de Graaff -page 2   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
In 1929 Bergen Davis (1869-1968) and Arthur Barnes at Columbia University had discovered that it was possible to electrically neutralise the positive charges alpha particles by attaching electrons to them.
The voltage is generated by an endless-belt which is in a column (or horizontal tube) with equipotential rings whose open terminals are grounded while the cvlindrical collector in the middle of the column is brought to a high voltage (we imagine +) by the charges carried by the belt.
Negative ions produced by an appropriate source are accelerated in a vacuum tube inside the cylinder and in correspondence to the high voltage terminal they charge is changed by a gas or a metal foil'stripper'.

 Alternatives to Solvent-Borne Coatings
However, due to the low solids content of conventional solvent-borne paints, a high volume of paint is required to supply a small amount of coverage.
Particular problems have included high viscosity, viscosity changes due to temperature variation, and storage stability, as well as the control of film thickness and the drying characteristics of the film (EPAd, p.
The high-solids coatings that are currently available are generally similar to low-solids coatings in their application, curing and final film properties, and the capital cost for application equipment is approximately the same.

 HAZ-MAT in Military Comm.
The process upon which all electrolytic capacitor manufacturing is based is the formation of an insulating anodic oxide film on a metal in the presence of an electrolytic (ionic conduction) bath.
Hydrolysis of the thin oxide film is another failure mechanism and it may be minimized by the addition of other chemicals to the electrolyte.
Long periods of no or low voltage on an electrolytic capacitor allow the hydrolysis reaction to slowly destroy the oxide film and reduce the capacitor's voltage rating.

 A History of Electroluminescent Displays
The initial drive scheme for ELDs at Planar was to apply a single polarity voltage pulse to each line of the display and then an opposite polarity pulse to the entire panel.
The basic idea was to build thin films layer by layer using surface-controlled chemical exchange reactions.
  Electroluminescence was mostly a scientific curiosity until the invention of thin film deposition techniques and the discovery that a sandwich of conductors, insulators and phosphors could result in a very efficent  and long-lasting form of emissive display.

 OTB - A 1929 Amateur Radio Station for the New Millenium, Part 2
The foundation for the amplifier consists of a 16" x 18" sheet of aluminum, which was folded to form a 16" (wide) x 8" (high) front face, and a 16" (wide) x 10" (deep) foundation/build area.
The film build-up after no less than four such ill-fated attempts was so thick that I had to consider whether the panel should be stripped clean for further paint experiments (A most undesirable proposition by that point!).
In the absence of stiff voltage regulation (was there such a thing in 1929?), separate power supplies for the exciter and amplifier are a must if one wishes to minimize chirp.

 I. THE MICROSCOPE
The high permeability of iron is due to the induced magnetic field orienting microscopic crystal regions acting as tiny magnets in the iron.
In a magnetic electron lens the focal length is determined by the field strength in the lens gap and by the speed of the electrons (determined by the accelerating voltage).
Since the focal length of the lens is directly proportional to the accelerating voltage, a variation in the velocity of the electrons in the imaging beam affects image quality by eliminating perfect focus (chromatic aberration).
