ION Audio is a privately held consumer electronics manufacturer based in Cumberland, Rhode Island, United States. It is part of inMusic Brands . [ 1 ] The company was founded in 2002 with the stated aim of providing easy-to-use audio products at an affordable price.
The Mk 153 Shoulder-Launched Multipurpose Assault Weapon (SMAW) is a smoothbore shoulder-fired rocket launcher. [4] It is a portable assault weapon (i.e., bunker buster) and has a secondary anti-armor ability.
Under ideal conditions, ion pumps are capable of reaching pressures as low as 10 −11 mbar. [1] An ion pump first ionizes gas within the vessel it is attached to and employs a strong electrical potential, typically 3–7 kV, which accelerates the ions into a solid electrode. Small bits of the electrode are sputtered into the chamber.
Ion implantation setup with mass separator. Ion implantation equipment typically consists of an ion source, where ions of the desired element are produced, an accelerator, where the ions are electrostatically accelerated to a high energy or using radiofrequency, and a target chamber, where the ions impinge on a target, which is the material to be implanted.
An ion thruster, ion drive, or ion engine is a form of electric propulsion used for spacecraft propulsion. An ion thruster creates a cloud of positive ions from a neutral gas by ionizing it to extract some electrons from its atoms. The ions are then accelerated using electricity to create thrust.
Ion milling is a specialized physical etching technique that is a crucial step in the preparation of material analysis techniques. After a specimen goes through ion milling, the surface becomes much smoother and more defined, which allows scientists to study the material much easier.
The ion engine was first demonstrated by German-born NASA scientist Ernst Stuhlinger, [1] and developed in practical form by Harold R. Kaufman at NASA Lewis (now Glenn) Research Center from 1957 to the early 1960s. The use of ion propulsion systems were first demonstrated in space by the NASA Lewis Space Electric Rocket Test (SERT) I and II. [2]
A krypton laser is an ion laser using ions of the noble gas krypton as its gain medium.The laser pumping is done by an electrical discharge.Krypton lasers are widely used in scientific research, and in commercial uses, when the krypton is mixed with argon, it creates a "white-light" lasers, useful for laser light shows.
