Title: An electronic ballast circuit
Inventor: NOONE SEAN
IPC: H02M1/12
Filed: 2000-05-17
Granted: 2003-07-03
Abstract: A driver waveform (30) for a gas discharge lamp is produced by a ballast circuit. The waveform (30) has a substantially vertical rising portion 831) forming an instantaneous, of time 10 musecs or so between T0 and T1, transition between currents -I1 and +I1 which are at a current value less than peak currents IP. Then in a transition rise at controlled slew rate the waveform (30) rises with a straight rising portion (32) to a steady peak current IP identified by the numeral (33). The peak current IP is maintained between T2 and T3 which accounts for between 40% and 80% of the cycle time. Then at T3 decline occurs with waveform having a declining slew rate portion (34) to time T4 when instantaneous transition between time T4 and T5 and currents +I1 to -I1 occurs. The driver waveform reduces the formation of high frequency harmonies and increases are stability.

Granted: 1996-03-28
Abstract: This invention is a surgical instrument and specifically is a device for delivering embolic coils to a selected site within the vasculature of the human body via use of a catheter. In particular, the device involves an embolic coil having a radially enlarged member attached to one end, which coil is released by forcing the radially enlarged member axially through a distendible aperture situated on the distal end of a pusher assembly. Alternatively, the embolic coils may be mounted on a guidewire and a pusher sheath within the catheter lumen used to push through the coils through the end of the catheter lumen. The catheter has a constricted distal tip or other means of frictionally controlling the release of embolic coils. Additionally (or alternatively), the guidewire may engage the embolic coils from their interior to allow precise placement of the coils. <IMAGE>
