Patent EP-0817543-A2 (EP)
Inventor: SECEN MICHAEL MATTHEW
IPC: H05B41/282
Filed: 1997-06-24
Abstract: A ballast circuit for a gas discharge lamp comprises
a resonant load circuit (12) incorporating a gas
discharge lamp (13) and including first and second
resonant impedances whose values determine the operating
frequency of the resonant load circuit. A d.c.-to-a.c.
converter circuit is coupled to the resonant load circuit
so as to induce an a.c. current in the resonant load
circuit, and comprises first and second switches (Q 1 ,Q 2 )
serially connected in the mentioned order between a bus
conductor (14) at a d.c. bus voltage and ground (16), and
having a common switch node (20) through which the a.c.
current flows. A bridge capacitor (26) has one end
connected to ground. First and second feedback circuits
(30,32) regeneratively control the first and second
switches, respectively, in response to a.c. current in
the resonant load circuit. A starting circuit (38)
initiates operation of the first and second feedback
circuits, and incorporates a voltage-divider network (42)
comprising first and second serially connected impedances
(R 1 ,R 2 ) with a common impedance node, and is coupled
between the common switch node and ground. Such circuit
includes a starting capacitor (C s ) coupled between the
common impedance node and ground, and a voltage-breakover
switch (40) coupled between a non-grounded end of the
bridge capacitor and the starting capacitor. Also
included in the starting circuit is a transformer winding
(T 1D ) serially coupled to the voltage-breakover switch so
as to conduct a pulse of current when the voltage-breakover
switch fires, the winding being coupled to the
first and second feedback circuits so as to result in a
starting pulse of current in the circuits when the
voltage-breakover switch fires.

Abstract: A web page server that provides URL abstraction and dynamic URL resolution.
The web page server receives HTTP requests from client systems. For requests
that include abstract URLs, the web page server resolves the abstract URL to a
resolved URL. This resolution of abstract URLs to resolved URLs is based on the
identity of the client system sending the HTTP request. After resolving an abstract
URL to a resolved URL, the web page server sends an HTTP redirection response
to the requesting client system. The redirection response causes the requesting
system to repeat the HTTP request using the resolved URL in place of the
abstract URL. In this way, abstract URLs can be resolved to resolved URLs based
on the identity of requesting client systems.

Abstract: An electroluminescent lamp is driven by a driving circuit that can supply an
approximately sinusoidal signal, a bi-directional sawtooth signal or a single-ended sawtooth
signal. Switches selectively transfer energy from a battery to an inductor and then from the
inductor to the lamp. In one embodiment, the lamp voltage is compared to a reference
waveform, such as a sinusoid. The switches are activated responsive to the error between the
lamp voltage and reference waveform to minimize the error. The lamp can thus be driven with
a closer approximation of the reference waveform.

Abstract: A method and system for providing security for a computing device include resolving, conflicts between a password-protected screen saver and communication notification capabilities by selectively enabling access to specific communications when the computing device is in a locked mode. The screen saver of the computing device is configured to switch the device from a normal operative mode to a locked mode in response to detection of a preset condition, such as the expiration of an idle-time timer. The computing device then remains in the locked mode until a preset authorization condition is recognized, e.g., entering a password. However, with the computing device in the locked mode, a subset of communication access capabilities is enabled. Specifically, notification of incoming communications is enabled. Preferably, connectivity for select types of outgoing calls is also enabled, e.g., connectivity for emergency calls. In the preferred embodiment, the conflicts are resolved by integrating the screen saver with communication access capabilities in a single software package. Also in the preferred embodiment, the communication access capabilities are provided by a telephony over LAN application and a switch to the locked mode is disabled during communication sessions involving the computing device.
