System And Method For Reducing Lamp Restrike Time
View pageUS Patent:
20120104951, May 3, 2012
Filed:
Nov 2, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/917959
Inventors:
Timothy A. Taubert - Kirtland OH, US
Amir P. Fallahi - W. Bloomfield MI, US
Amir P. Fallahi - W. Bloomfield MI, US
Assignee:
ABL IP Holding LLC - Conyers GA
International Classification:
H01J 61/52
US Classification:
315117
Abstract:
Systems and methods for reducing lamp restrike time are provided. In a lighting apparatus having a housing, a reflector, and a lamp positioned so that at least a portion of the outer jacket of the lamp is within the reflector, a circulating device is operated when the lamp is off and a temperature inside the housing is above a predefined temperature. The circulating device circulates air around the outer jacket of the lamp to cool the lamp so the restrike time is reduced without the need for a starting device with a starting voltage high enough to restart the lamp when the lamp is hot.

H02M 7/06
H02M 7/06
US Classification:
315291, 363126
Abstract:
Features of the invention are related to drive circuits that provide both power factor correction and voltage conversion in a single circuit and in some implementations drive an LED array. This single stage converter uses a buck-boost topology and can operate LED arrays that have DC voltages above or below the AC line voltage. An output side filter and bulk energy storage device is placed at the output of the circuit. Bulk energy storage can be provided by an inductor, a capacitor, or a combination of an inductor and a capacitor. The output side filtering can be provided by a capacitor or a capacitor and an inductor. The circuit also includes a switch and a switch control device for controlling the switch to provide power factor correction.

A second circuit arrangement provides start and glow functions, and includes a tapped transformer flyback converter circuit for combining the start and glow functions; and a blocking diode for providing a blocking function for the glow circuit during the start mode. A third circuit arrangement includes a buck/boost converter for providing glow and run functions, and further includes an inductive storage element, such as an inductor. A fourth circuit arrangement includes a single buck/boost converter for providing start, glow, and run signals, and further includes an inductive storage element, such as an inductor.
Virtual Fixture For Reducing Electromagnetic Interaction Between An Electrodeless Lamp And A Metallic Fixture

International Classification:
H01J 744
US Classification:
315 57
Abstract:
An electrodeless lamp (e. g. , an electrodeless fluorescent lamp) includes a dielectric housing shaped to conform to a portion of a lamp envelope, which housed portion is opposite to a portion through which light is emitted. The dielectric housing includes a continuous conductor, i. e. , a shorted turn, situated between the dielectric housing and the lamp envelope which conforms to at least a portion of the dielectric housing. The configuration of the shorted turn, in terms of the location and amount of surface area occupied thereby, is optimized to minimize interaction between the excitation coil and any metallic fixture and to avoid interfering with lamp starting and light output.

International Classification:
H05B 4116
US Classification:
315248
Abstract:
An electrodeless, low pressure gas discharge lamp includes a vitreous envelope containing a discharge medium and being shaped with an external chamber for receiving an electrical excitation circuit. The excitation circuit is effective for exciting the discharge medium to emit light with electromagnetic fields that are generated by the excitation circuit. A circuit is included for supplying electrical power from power mains to the excitation circuit. A transparent, electrically conductive coating is provided atop the vitreous envelope and is electrically connected substantially directly to one of the power mains at any given time. A transparent, electrically insulative coating is disposed atop the electrically conductive coating, and comprises a contiguous, inorganic glass layer. The insulative coating preferably has a minimum coating thickness of at least about 3. 1 microns.

International Classification:
H05B 4124
US Classification:
315248
Abstract:
An electrodeless gas discharge lamp includes a vitreous envelope containing a discharge medium. An excitation coil is positioned in relation to the vitreous envelope so as to excite the discharge medium therein. The excitation coil is adapted to be driven by an RF oscillator. The excitation coil has first and second ends and is effective for exciting the discharge medium to emit light with electromagnetic fields that are generated by the excitation coil. The excitation coil includes a first wire wound generally helically from the first end to the second end in a first helical direction to form first winding turns, and further includes a second wire wound generally helically from the first end to the second end in second helical direction opposite to that of the first helical direction to form second winding turns. Preferably, a generally cylindrical former is provided for holding the first and second wires between the first and second ends of the coil. Such former includes a positioning arrangement for maintaining specific positions of the first and second wires with respect to each other along the former.
