Abstract: There is disclosed a method for adjusting color temperature in a PDP device. The
method comprises the following steps of: setting a desired color temperature of the PDP
as the RGB ratio which shows the level ratio of each of the RGB signals; setting each
light emitting frequency of the PDP corresponding to the level of each of the A/D
converted RGB signals; and selecting a subfield of gradation frequency corresponding
to the set the light emitting frequency to control the light emitting of the PDP.
According to the method, the color temperature can be adjusted without lowering the
gradation in the PDP.

Abstract: A method of acquiring a graphic prescription from an operator of an imaging
device comprises displaying a first two-dimensional view of a first localizer
image (202, 204, 206) and a second two-dimensional view of a second
localizer image (202, 204, 206), and displaying a three-dimensional view of
the first and second localizer images (202, 204, 206). The first and second
two-dimensional views of the first and second localizer images (202, 204,
206) are displayed in first and second viewing regions (201, 203, 205) of a
graphic prescription interface (200, 300). The three-dimensional view shows
the first and second localizer images (202, 204, 206) relative to each other in
overlapping fashion in a common viewing region (301) of the graphic
prescription interface (200, 300). The method also allows a previous
prescription to be displayed as a cross reference, and allows a prescription to
fallback to any localizer image in a sequence of localizer images.

Abstract: The invention relates to an electronic ballast for a fluorescent lamp, the lamp load
circuit being connected between the inverter power switch elements (S 1 , S 2 ). The
lamp load circuit comprises an inductor (L R ) in a series connection with the lamp.
Prior to the ignition of the lamp, the lamp load circuit also includes a capacitor

(S 3 ) that is in parallel with the transformer primary winding (T 1a ) in an ON
condition. The heating current may be controlled to a desired level by driving the
switch (S3) ON and OFF with a pulse-width-controlled drive signal.

Abstract: A common rail type fuel injection system has a pressure reducing valve (6). The pressure reducing valve (6) is opened in order to increase quantity of return fuel recirculated from a common rail (1) to an inlet of a fuel filter (9) when the fuel is in low temperature in which wax easily precipitates out of the fuel, and when an engine is starting or idling, or when high fuel pressure is not required. Thus, the temperature of the fuel flowing into the fuel filter (9) and the temperature of the filter (9) are increased quickly. As a result, precipitation of wax out of the fuel flowing into the fuel filter (9) is inhibited and the clogging of the fuel filter (9) by the precipitation of the wax is prevented.
