Patent FR-2746901-A1 (FR)
Title: Variable-geometry suspended lamp mounting with telescopic arms
IPC: F21S8/06
Filed: 1996-03-27
Abstract: The mounting consists of a central horizontal beam (1) suspended (4) from the ceiling, and two telescopic arms (2) jointed to the respective ends of the beam and each carrying a lampshade (3). For maximum concentration of light, both arms are retracted against the edges of the beam, whose length determines the minimum distance between the lamps. For wider illumination the arms are deployed and/or rotated equally so that the lamps maintain their symmetry with respect to the centre of the beam, and the balance of the structure in a horizontal attitude is maintained regardless of the extension and rotation.

Title: Assembly for distressing jeans
Inventor: DUPUIT GERARD
IPC: B24C9/00
Filed: 1996-07-02
Abstract: The turntable unit, to carry jeans through a station for the delivery of abrasive to the garment fabric, has a loading station (11) where the jeans are placed on formers (10), a process station (12) where the fabric is blasted with an abrasive, and an unloading station (13). The working atmospheres are insulated from each other between the separate stations (11-13).  Also claimed is an operation at the loading stage (11) where the jeans are passed over air units (63a,63b) within the legs with the waist at the level of the spreaders (64a,64b), which are moved outwards by a supple expander with adjustments for a correct lie. The air units (63a,6b) are expanded to tense the fabric at the legs and their lie is checked for correct positioning, with the stage repeated until the legs are correctly aligned. The orientation of the jeans is checked, and the drum (5) is rotated by 120 deg , for a fresh pair of jeans to be loaded. Preferably the turntable unit is a rotating drum (5) with three apertures (8) each containing a former (10) to be carried through the three stations (11-13). with a chamber (53) with three openings matching the stations (11-13). The charging (11) and unloading (13) stations are open to the ambient air atmosphere. Each drum (5) aperture (8) is positioned temporarily at the treatment station (12), for abrasive blasting, and is sealed against the ambient air. The drum (5) is cylindrical, rotating on a vertical axis. The apertures (8) are at intervals of 120 deg  round the centre axis (6), in identical shapes open at the bottom, and match the shape and dimensions of the openings into the chamber (53) at each station (11-13). The drum (5) surface between the apertures (8) is solid and is at least one-sixth of the total drum surface, to seal the entries into the chambers (53) of each station (11-13).

Title: Microprocessor controlled starter for discharge lamp
Inventor: MASAHIDE KITA
IPC: H05B41/292
Filed: 1999-01-21
Abstract: The primary winding of a transformer (8) of a DC/DC converter (2) is connected e.g. to a DC source (1) via a solid state switch (9) controlled through a pulse generator (19) by a central processor (18). The latter receives digitized (16,17) signals from a voltage divider (10) and shunt (15), giving the converter's output voltage and current.  This output from the DC/DC converter passes to a DC/AC converter (3) having 4 bridge-connected transistors controlled by the processor, two directly and two via an inverter (20). The bridge output passes to the lamp via a series clutch (5) which delivers an initiating pulse to strike the arc. During starting only two transistors (11,14) conduct, connecting the 400v transformer output (8) to the striking unit (5), which raises the voltage to some 20 kV. After a transitional period, the bridge begins to operate normally as an inverter, involving all 4 transistors. Transistor thermal characteristics stored in a nonvolatile memory (18a) are compared with actual temperature near the bridge (21), and transformer primary switching (9) is varied as necessary to achieve stable lamp operation.
