Closed Loop Control of Advanced Manufacturing Processes

Abstract

This report describes the results from a research effort investigating two candidate techniques for producing glow-like discharges in atmospheric-pressure gases. The first techniques uses a mid-discharge constriction to avoid the formation of current filaments, whereas the second uses a plasma cathode produced by a hollow-cathode-like discharge.
