Patent CA-2483581-A1 (CA)
Inventor: TAMURA TAKAHIKO
IPC: H04N9/44
Filed: 2004-02-09
Abstract: In a digital chroma demodulating system, when directly outputting A/D  converted composite signals, while switching system clock frequencies to determine the signal format, images to be displayed in accordance with the composite signals are prevented from varying and becoming unsightly due to the switching of system clock frequencies. As to the system clock frequency (m)(=  fsc × n) for synchronization with a color burst signal, its coefficient (n) is changed in accordance with the format (a color burst signal frequency), thereby confining the system clock frequency (m) for formats within a given range. As a result, a nearly constant sampling frequency can be used to perform A/D conversions of the composite signals, so that sampling conditions such as the sampling frequency and sampling points will not significantly vary.

Title: Lossless circuit for sampling of lamp voltage
Inventor: SHACKLE PETER
IPC: H05B37/02
Filed: 2004-12-02
Abstract: An electronic ballast has a resonant tank circuit that includes a tank inductor and a tank capacitor connected in series. Lossless sampling of the output voltage of the electronic ballast is achieved by monitoring the voltage across a sampling capacitor placed in series with the tank capacitor. A resistive and capacitive filter is used to filter the monitored voltage such that it can be accurately received by a microcontroller. A resistor is connected in series with the sampling capacitor to produce an opera circuit output voltage control signal that is used by the microcontroller to limit the open circuit output voltage. A cable compensation circuit is utilized to minimize variations in the open circuit voltage due to the connecting and disconnecting of a cable to the ballast output terminals.
