Inventor: ANDERSSON MARTIN N
IPC: F02P11/02
Filed: 2005-09-28
Abstract: A kill-switch control circuit for use with a light-duty combustion engine determines whether to execute a controlled shut down method or an immediate shut down method in response to kill-switch activation. The selection of a shut down method is made, at least in part, by using engine speed readings and by counting engine revolutions. The controlled shut down method utilizes ignition timing delay and/or spark ratio techniques to quickly bring the engine to a stop, yet does so in a controlled manner that avoids backfiring and other undesirable effects. Conversely, the immediate shut down method abruptly stops sending a current to the spark plug.

Patent EP-1605199-A3 (EP)
Inventor: HARBERS GERARD
IPC: F21V9/40
Filed: 2005-05-30
Abstract: An illumination device uses a wavelength converting element, such as a phosphor layer, that is physically separated from a light source, such as one or more light emitting diodes, a Xenon lamp or a Mercury lamp. The wavelength converting element is optically separated from the light source, so that the converted light emitted by the wavelength converting element is prevented from being incident on the light source. Accordingly, the temperature limitations of the wavelength converting element are removed, thereby permitting the light source to be driven with an increased current to produce a higher radiance. Moreover, by optically separating the wavelength converting element from the light source, the conversion and recycling efficiency of the device is improved, which also increases radiance.
