Abstract: A method for detecting decrease in tire air-pressure in which
decrease in internal pressure of a tire is detected on the basis of
rotational information obtained from tires attached to a vehicle. The
method includes the steps of: detecting rotational information of the
respective tires; storing the rotational information of the respective tires;
obtaining a slip rate between the tires and a road surface during
running; comparing the slip rate with a slip rate which has been
preliminarily obtained when at normal internal pressure; and judging
simultaneous decompression of two wheel tires of both front wheels or
simultaneous decompression of two wheel tires of both rear wheels on
the basis of a relationship between a value obtained through comparison
of the two slip rates and a specified threshold. It is possible to judge
simultaneous decompression of two wheel tires of both front wheels or
wheel two tires of both rear wheels.

Abstract: A fluorescent lamp (10) includes a coating (16) comprising a blue-green
emitting halophosphate in combination with rare-earth phosphors, such as a
red-emitting rare earth phosphor and a green-emitting rare earth phosphor.
The blue-green emitting halophosphate replaces some or all of the blue-emitting
rare earth phosphor conventionally used in lamps designed to have a
high color rendition index (CRI). This combination of phosphors is preferably
blended with a white-emitting halophosphate in a ratio of about 1:3, providing
a blend which is suitable for providing a single coating layer for the lamp. The
single layer coated lamp has a CRI which is comparable to that of a lamp
formed with a conventional two phosphor layer coating process, without
appreciably increasing the content of rare earth phosphors used.
