Inventor: MATSUOKA NORIMICHI
IPC: A47B23/06
Filed: 2002-10-18
Abstract: The inventive apparatus having page turning capability for reading
assistance enables to easily turn over pages of a book by a simple operation
and provides a more comfortable environment for the person who spends
time on reading. 
     To properly use an apparatus (50), set an open book on a supporting means
(1), press the midsection over the right and left pages by a page-pressing
means (2), and then press the edges of the right and left pages by
page-turning-up means (3, 4). To turn over the page, activate an interlocking
means by using a remote handling means, move either one of the right and
left page-turning-up means (3, 4), and press the page surface to create a
shearing force between the first and second pages so that the page can be
turned up. After that, a page-turning-over means (5) starts moving and slips
into the back of the page. The page-turning-over means (5) presses the page
from behind and turns over the page to the other side. At the same time, the
page-pressing means (3, 4) run off the first page already turned up.

Abstract: A device and a method for the control of a gas discharge lamp are disclosed. In order to detract as little as possible from lamp life in spite of the luminous flux requirements to be fulfilled during the run-up of the lamp, the lamp is operated with an alternating current in a run-up phase which comprises at least the interval from 1 s to 3 s after lamp ignition, the amplitude of said current rising during the run-up phase. After the rise in the run-up phase, the current may first rise further or remain constant in a transitional phase which preferably follows the former phase, and is subsequently reduced until the lamp enters the stationary operational phase. The time gradient of the current is preferably chosen such here that minimum values for the luminous flux of the lamp are achieved at given moments. Particular advantages are obtained, for example, in the case of Hg-free lamps which are operated with high currents, especially during the run-up.
