ALEXANDRIA, Va., March 12 -- United States Patent no. 12,249,476, issued on March 11, was assigned to Muons Inc. (Batavia, Ill.).
"Bi-metallic anode for amplitude modulated magnetron" was invented by Michael L. Neubauer (San Francisco), Alan J. Dudas (Alamo, Calif.) and Stephen A. Kahn (Commack, N.Y.).
According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "An anode structure for a magnetron provides for low eddy currents and efficient water cooling. The anode structure may be made by machining a bimetal blank including an out layer of a first metal and an inner layer of a second metal and formed by explosion bonding. The second metal has a resistivity lower than first metal and a thermal conductivity higher than the f...
