20090009095 | Method and Circuit Arrangement for Operating a Discharge Lamp - A method and a circuit arrangement are described for operating a discharge lamp is described, especially a high-intensity discharge lamp or lamps (HID) or UHP [ultra high performance]-lamp, which is/are distinguished by a first and a second operating phase with a higher first or a lower second frequency of the lamp AC, wherein the operating phases are activated alternatingly at defined intervals and for defined periods of time, in order to achieve a stable arc discharge and only a low burnout or rise in burning voltage of the lamp during its life by configuring certain forms of electrode tips. Furthermore, are described an illumination unit with a discharge lamp and such a circuit arrangement as well as a projection system with a projection display and such an illumination unit. | 01-08-2009 |
20090026971 | Apparatus for Controlling Lamp Driving and Light Unit Having the Same - Provided are an apparatus for controlling a lamp driving, and a light unit. The apparatus comprises a trans-portion, a plurality of lamps, a first cable, and a current attenuator. The trans-portion outputs a first AC power and a second AC power. The plurality of lamps are lighted-on by the first and second AC powers. The first cable and a second cable transfer an output power from the transformer to both ends of the lamps. The current attenuator removes a deviation in currents input to both ends of the lamps. | 01-29-2009 |
20090236995 | AC POWER FEEDBACK CONTROL DEVICE - An AC power feedback control device for a vacuum fluorescent display is provided. In the AC power feedback control device, the Class-D drivers are driven by the PWM controller so as to generate a sine wave voltage. After being filtered by the LPFs, the sine wave voltage is ready for filaments. The output voltage outputted by the filaments is detected by simple feedback elements so as to control and modulate the duty cycle of the PWM controller. | 09-24-2009 |
20100134023 | METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR DIMMABLE FLUORESCENT LIGHTING - A system for operating a fluorescent light is provided. The system comprises: a fluorescent lamp with at least one electrode having at least one corresponding heating filament; a filament signal power supply for providing a filament current signal having a filament current frequency, the filament signal power supply connected to create a filament current through the at least one filament; and a plasma signal power supply for providing a plasma power signal having a plasma power frequency, the plasma signal power supply connected to create a plasma current between the at least one electrode and a gas contained in the fluorescent lamp. The plasma power frequency is greater than the filament current frequency. | 06-03-2010 |
20130214689 | PLASMA IGNITION DEVICE AND PLASMA IGNITION METHOD - A technique of improving the life of a spark plug which generates spark discharge and AC plasma. A plasma ignition device includes a power control section which reduces AC power P after generation of AC plasma in an AC power supply period Sa during which the AC power P is continuously supplied to a spark plug within a maintainable power range Rp within which the AC plasma can be maintained. | 08-22-2013 |
