International Classification:
F21S 500
US Classification:
362216
Abstract:
A fluorescent lamp conversion unit for use in combination with the residential incandescent-type lamp fixture. The fixture is of the type intended for operation with a lamp shade of predetermined dimensions. The fluorescent lamp conversion unit includes lamp and lamp shade supporting means including a rigid hollow elongated member for supporting a fluorescent lamp of the compact type having an elongated envelope which has a double-U-bend to present a compact design thereby enabling the lamp to be enclosed by the lamp shade.
Screw-In Type Lighting Unit Having A Convoluted Tridimensional Fluorescent Lamp

International Classification:
H01J 1734 H01J 6156 H01J 1728
US Classification:
315 53
Abstract:
A fluorescent lamp having a triple-U-bent tubular envelope is combined with circuit means, a translucent protective cover and a threaded base member to provide an efficient screw-in type lamp unit of high brightness and long life that is compact enough to be used as a direct replacement for incandescent type lamps in fixtures designed for residential and commercial lighting. Various structural arrangements for including the ballast and starter components of the energizing circuit as integral parts of the compact lamp unit, despite the stringent space limitations, and also venting the cover and base structures to provide convection cooling of the compacted electrical components are also disclosed. Additional cost-saving advantages are afforded by making the triple-U-bent fluorescent lamp a plug-in type component that can be readily removed from the lamp unit and replaced with a new fluorescent lamp, thus permitting the lamp unit to be retained as a permanent part of the lighting fixture and be periodically relamped at minimal expense as required to maintain the optimum amount of illumination from the electrical energy which is consumed.

International Classification:
G11B 726
US Classification:
430321
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for creating an optical disk mother or stamper wherein the number of processing steps is greatly reduced from the prior art methods. In particular, the present invention involves directly forming a mother or stamper by direct laser ablation of a conductive metal substrate. More specifically, a stream of coded digital information (for example, representing the content of an encyclopedia in the case of CD ROM or a classical music collection in the case of CD audio) is converted into a corresponding plurality of pits and lands in the conductive metal substrate by electronically switching the beam of a first laser on and off via an electro or acusto-optic modulator (EOM/AOM) in response to the digital information. As a result, selective portions of the conductive substrate are either ablated (in the case where the laser is on) thereby directly creating the pits, or the substrate is left unaltered (in the case where the laser is off) thereby creating lands. These pits and lands correspond to the digital information and can be read to reproduce the same.
Energy Conserving Instant-Start Series-Sequence Fluorescent Lamp System With Overcurrent Protection

Assignee:
North American Philips Electric Corp. - Bloomfield NJ
International Classification:
H01J 744
US Classification:
315 58
Abstract:
An energy-saving instant-start series-sequence fluorescent lamp system includes power-reducing capacitor means connected in series circuit arrangement with one or both lamps in a two-lamp system. A protective device is connected in circuit with a first lamp of the system so that in the event the second lamp fails to operate and causes a high current to flow through the first lamp, the protective device reacts to prevent the system from being damaged. A lamp incorporating the power-reducing capacitor and protective device is also disclosed.

Assignee:
North American Philips Corporation - New York NY
International Classification:
H05B 4136
US Classification:
315100
Abstract:
A modified impedance rapid start fluorescent lamp system is provided with interrupted cathode heating. This structure includes a circuit in parallel with one of the bimetal switches at each side of a cathode. The circuit includes a current limiting capacitor and bleeder resistor connected in parallel with each other and a third normally closed thermal bimetal switch.
