Abstract: Electronic ballast power supply/control circuits and methods that can be used to supply starting power to PFC control chips and that can be used to control ballasts so that PFC and inverter power supply circuits supply stable power to control circuitry even when the ballasts are performing advanced ballast functions. The circuits and methods supply starting power more quickly and efficiently than prior art starting circuits and control ballasts by either loading PFC circuits or inverter circuits included in the ballasts. The circuits load PFC circuits by connecting load resistors to the PFC circuits or by operating the inverter circuits at high frequencies that generate switching losses in the inverter transistors that load the PFC circuits. Inverter circuits are loaded by operating the inverter at frequencies that are much higher than preheating, igniting, and normal operating frequencies.

Title: System and method for protected operating system boot using state validation
Inventor: ENGLAND PAUL
IPC: G06F21/14
Filed: 2005-05-17
Abstract: A mechanism for protected operating system boot that prevents rogue components from being loaded with the operating system, and thus prevents divulgence of the system key under inappropriate circumstances. After a portion of the machine startup procedure has occurred, the operating system loader is run, the loader is validated, and a correct machine state is either verified to exist and/or created. Once the loader has been verified to be a legitimate loader, and the machine state under which it is running is verified to be correct, the loader's future behavior is known to protect against the loading of rogue components that could cause divulgence of the system key. With the loader's behavior being known to be safe for the system key, the validator may unseal the system key and provides it to the loader.
