Abstract: A power supply and control circuit is provided for driving a fluorescent lamp from a low voltage DC power source such as a battery. A DC-to-AC inverter coupled to a switching regulator converts low DC voltage into a higher AC voltage for driving the fluorescent lamp. In one embodiment, the lamp is included in a feedback loop which includes a circuit for producing a feedback signal indicative of the magnitude of current conducted by the lamp. In another embodiment, the lamp is symmetrically driven by isolating the lamp from the driving circuitry and indirectly deriving the feedback signal. The feedback signal is applied to the switching regulator to produce in the lamp a regulated current and, hence, a regulated lamp intensity. The magnitude of the lamp current can be adjusted to enable the intensity of the fluorescent lamp to be smoothly and continuously varied (without "dead-spots" or "pop-on") over a chosen intensity range, including if desired, from substantially full OFF to full ON. When the lamp is symmetrically driven, the lamp is illuminated in a more uniform manner along the entire length of the tube. A method for driving a fluorescent lamp from a low voltage DC power source is also provided.

Abstract: Disclosed are optical couplers (10) and optical coupling systems for coupling a source of non-coherent light to a light distribution harness, wherein the couplers are polygonal in cross section to increase light mixing. The couplers have inlet (12) and outlet (14) arms and an intermediate bend region (16A) configured to achieve compactness and minimal light loss through the bend region. In one embodiment, the bend region is an integral part of the coupler, with the inlet arm having a different cross-sectional dimension (12A) from the outlet arm (14A) in such manner that substantially all light (30) directed from the inlet portion (12) to the bend portion (16A) reaches (31,32) the outlet arm portion (14), and light rays parallel to the inlet axis are reflected in the bend portion to be directed substantially parallel to the outlet axis. In a second embodiment, the bend region comprises a prism having a pair of parallel spaced surfaces, and inlet, outlet, and third surfaces that are non-parallel to the spaced surfaces. The inlet arm projects from the inlet surface, and the outlet arm projects from the outlet surface. One of the inlet and outlet surfaces forms a first interface with a first material having an index of refraction different from that of the prism, so that light rays within the prism totally internally reflect from the first interface.

Abstract: The invention is directed to an apparatus and process in which a particle beam is used to introduce a pattern into an energy sensitive material. A coil assembly is used to selectively control both the orientation of the particle beam relative to the substrate on which the energy sensitive material is applied and the magnification or demagnification of the image in the particle beam. The coil assembly comprises at least two coils. The particle beam (15) is projected through the coil assembly (60). In one embodiment, the coil assembly is used to rotate the particle beam to compensate for an observed difference between the actual substrate orientation and the desired substrate orientation. The coils in the coil assembly are excited so that the desired rotation is introduced into the particle beam by the cumulative effects of the magnetic fields generated by the excited coils in the coil assembly. The coils in the coil assembly are calibrated such that the desired amount of beam rotation is provided by the coil assembly without introducing unwanted lens effects into the beam. However, the coil assembly can be calibrated to introduce desired lens effects into the beam as well as the desired rotation. In another embodiment, the coils are used to introduce a desired lens effect, such as magnification or demagnification, into the particle beam without introducing unwanted rotation into the beam.
