Abstract: A circuit arrangement for operating a high pressure discharge lamp comprises a down converter equipped with an output capacitor and a commutator equipped with lamp connection terminals. The amplitude of the DC current generated by the down converter is controlled by means of a control loop. Commutation of the DC current causes a periodical voltage to be present across the output capacitor. This periodical voltage can be an overshoot voltage and/or a voltage caused by resonance of the lamp with the output capacitor. To suppress the periodical voltage, the reference signal of the current control loop is adjusted in dependency of the amplitude of the periodical voltage.

Abstract: A method for removing short circuits in thin film solar cell elements during manufacturing by applying a pseudo-alternating voltage between the substrate side and the back electrodes of the solar cell elements. The waveform of the pseudo-alternating voltage may be a sinusoidal wave, a half-wave sinusoidal wave, a sawtooth wave, a square wave or the like. The peak voltage in the reverse direction is up to the reverse breakdown voltage of the solar cell element, and the waveform may either contain a small forward component or no forward component. The peak voltage in the reverse direction may also momentarily exceed the reverse breakdown voltage. The period of the pseudo-alternating voltage matches the time constant of the solar cell element determined by the capacity and reverse resistance of the solar cell element. The pseudo-alternating voltage induces an alternating current which discharges the accumulated charges in the solar cell element, thereby protecting it from high voltages generated by accumulated charges. Consequently, the method effectively removes short-circuits in the semiconductor layer without damaging non-short-circuited sections of the semiconductor layer.

Abstract: A method is disclosed that assists a golf player in finding golf balls that have been lost. The method relies on the presence of materials in the golf ball that emit light at a second wavelength when illuminated by light at a first wavelength. Implementations of such a ball-finding device are disclosed that use blue or near-UV illumination light to create emission at somewhat longer wavelengths. Unlike prior art that uses UV illumination, the disclosed devices do not require proximity to the ball to enhance visual detection of the same.

Abstract: A container in which is arranged a housing borne by an upper wall of the container suitable for storing a color cartridge to be refilled. The container has at least three tanks containing the different color inks. The three tanks are substantially shaped as concentrical cylinders. More particularly, the outer tank completely encompasses the intermediate tank and both are arranged concentrically around the central tank. In the operating position, i.e. with the container in the vertical position, the ink is contained in the bottom part of each of the tanks in corresponding feeding compartments. Each of the tanks extends upwardly, i.e. in the direction of the upper wall, forming corresponding back-flow compartments concentrical and disposed ring-like about the housing, each of which communicates freely with the corresponding feeding compartment below. The cartridge is fed by three capillary elements of a spongy material inserted in corresponding cylindrical pipes arranged vertically inside the container and attached at the top to the bottom wall of the housing. By inclining the container laterally, or turning it upside down, the inks flow into the back-flow compartments and no longer wet the capillary elements so that the transfer of ink through these stops.
