Abstract: An electronic ballast circuit for driving a gas discharge lamp is operable to control the lamp to avoid flicking and flashing of the intensity of the lamp during low temperature conditions. The ballast circuit includes an inverter circuit for receiving a DC bus voltage and for generating a high-frequency output voltage, a resonant tank circuit for receiving the high-frequency output voltage and generating a sinusoidal voltage for driving said lamp, and a control circuit operatively coupled to the inverter circuit for adjusting an intensity of the lamp between a minimum intensity and a maximum intensity. The control circuit receives a control signal representative of a lamp temperature of the lamp, and increases the minimum intensity of the lamp if the lamp temperature of the lamp drops below a cold temperature threshold. In addition, the ballast circuit may also include a temperature sensing circuit operable to generate the control signal representative of the lamp temperature of the lamp.

IPC: H04N7/30
Filed: 2013-01-14
Abstract: Methods of encoding and decoding for video data are described for encoding or decoding multi-level significance maps. Distinct context sets may be used for encoding the significant-coefficient flags in different regions of the transform unit. In a fixed case, the regions are defined by coefficient group borders. In one example, the upper-left coefficient group is a first region and the other coefficient groups are a second region. In a dynamic case, the regions are defined by coefficient group borders, but the encoder and decoder dynamically determine in which region each coefficient group belongs. Coefficient groups may be assigned to one region or another based on, for example, whether their respective significant-coefficient-group flags were inferred or not.

IPC: B29C33/40
Filed: 2012-01-13
Abstract: The present disclosure describes a curing box including a circulation assembly which substantially eliminates temperature stratification of a first fluid within the box. Additionally, the curing box includes an internal temperature sensor and an external temperature sensor which provide data to a control module. The control module permits adjustment of the fluid temperature within the box. The present disclosure additionally provides a method for curing a specimen in the curing box. The method compares the temperature signal from the external sensor to the internal sensor and adjusts the temperature of the fluid in the box to match the temperature reported by the external sensor. Additionally, the method controls the flow of a second fluid into the box thereby circulating the first fluid to substantially eliminate temperature stratification of the first fluid in the box. Thus, the method provides a controlled environment for curing the specimen.

Title: Cu-ni-zn-mn alloy
Inventor: DALLA TORRE FLORIAN
IPC: C22C9/04
Filed: 2012-02-03
Abstract: Precipitation hardened alloy on the basis of copper, zinc, nickel and manganese exhibiting a high strength and ductility with values similar to those of stainless steels in combination with excellent machinability. The inventive alloy family is characterized by fine fibre-like or globular precipitates that emerge during intermediate temperature annealing treatments, which in case of the unleaded variations significantly improves the machinability. The alloy of invention is particularly suited for free machining applications such as the production of pen tips and reservoirs for writing implements of reduced tip dimensions, where conventional Cu-Ni- Zn-Mn alloys fail due to lack of strength and where the corrosion resistance in gel-based inks is insufficient without restriction to other fields of application.
Patent CA-2829021-A1 (CA)
Title: Spread-spectrum pilot signals in an electronic duplexer
Inventor: SMILEY RUSSELL
IPC: H03F1/32
Filed: 2012-02-23
Abstract: Interference-reducing circuits include a feed-forward circuit for subtracting all or part of a desired transmitter-signal component from a signal coupled from the power amplifier's output path. The error signal from this feed-forward circuit contains a replica of distortion in the power amplifier output. A cancellation loop adjusts the phase and/or amplitude of this error signal and combines this adjusted error signal with an interference-carrying signal, removing some of the undesired distortion. A spread-spectrum pilot signal is used in one or both loops, to provide a reference signal that can be monitored by an adjustment circuit, which measures the magnitude and/or phase of a spread-spectrum signal that is injected into the interference-carrying signal and, based on that measurement, adjusts the amplitude, phase, and/or delay of the cancellation signal that is added to the interference-carrying signal. This yields a reduced-interference signal in which undesired distortion is reduced.
