275 Selective Getters
Czechoslovakia Studies of the emission stablhty of oxide cathodes with tungsten core have shown that the presence of hydrogen in the residual atmosphere zs of great slgmficance for the stability of the emission properties of the cathode A number of experiments was therefore carried out m order to ascertain the effect of hydrogen on the work function and the conductwzty of the oxide layer with mckel and tungsten support To obtain prachcal results we had to increase the partial hydrogen pressure m the bulb which was accomphshed by using a getter with selectwe effect for hydrogen The above mentioned getter was prepared and its properties m ra&o-tubes mveshgated (Authors) lng J Hejzlar and l n g V Horacek, Vacuum, 10, 231-233, 1960 21

276 Noise Reduction in Microwave Tubes by Getter-Ion Pumping
United Kingdom The problem of ton noise in microwave oscillators and amphfiers Is explained It is shown that residual gas pressures of approx 10 -9 T o r t m u s t be maintained m order to e h m m a t e ion noise A descrlpt~on ts given of the construction of an ion getter p u m p which is built into a backward wave oscillator and designed to operate continuously while the oscillator is in use The problems associated with maintaining low pressures in m~crowave vales are &scussed (Author) N W W Smith, Vacuum, 10, 106--109, 1960

279 Clean Up of Gases in TV Picture Tubes by Barium Getters
Japan In this brief c o m m u n i c a h o n the authors present the comparatwe results obtained in television tubes where getters of Japanese and Italian production have been used The measurements are carried out using the electron gun of the tube as an iomzatlon gauge and applying the well k n o w n " gas ratio " technique normally used for pressure m e a s u r e m e n t s in picture tubes The various types of gases employed are introduced into the tube by breaking an ampoule containing a k n o w n quantity of the gas in question, which has been placed within the tube prior to its sealing D a t a are given about the Influence of the various gases employed on the emission f r o m the cathode, as well as on the behavlour of the b a r m m film after sorptlon of the different gases (Authors) HISaO T a k a y a m a and Hldekl Bobayashi, Vacuum, 10, 153-155, 1960 21
