Title: Device for operating a discharge lamp
Inventor: YOSHIOKA MASAKI
IPC: H05B41/24
Filed: 1997-01-13
Granted: 2002-05-21
Abstract: The invention relates to a device for operating a fluores-cent discharge lamp of the outer electrode type. As claimed in the invention a switching device is turned on and off by driver signals with a stipulated frequency, by which on the secondary side of a transformer the periodic voltage wave-form shown at A in Figure 1 is produced. This voltage wave-form is applied to the fluorescent discharge lamp of the outer electrode type, and thus operation is effected. For the above described periodic voltage waveform, with respect to repetition period t 2 W o < t, if the width at a vol-tage of the waveform of 0 V which has a single maximum peak value within one period is labelled W o, its full width at half maximum (the width between a and b in Figure 1) being set to a stipulated value (for example, to a value of less than or equal to 2.5 µsec). This makes it possible to maintain stable emission even if the pressure of the gas filled in the discharge lamp is increased. In this way high illumination intensity can be obtained.

Title: A method and system of assigning rates based on class service and discount level
Inventor: HASBANI JACQUES E
IPC: G01G19/00
Filed: 1999-03-15
Granted: 2007-05-29
Abstract: The invention is a method and system of assigning and updating rates within an electronic scale, wherein the rates are based upon class service and discount level. A set of classes of service available for a particular carrier is established. Each one of the classes comprises one or more discount levels. The classes are embedded into the memory of an electronic scale and a set of data comprising the classes is made available to the system. Updating of the data in the embedded set of classes, is accomplished by defining the update data and the one or more discount levels which are available in each class. A system user limits the classes for which they want access and the carrier and/or service choices are encoded; the encoding determining a unique number that is indicative of the parameters selected by a system user for a particular system. The unique number comprises: a carrier token; a class token; and a set of discount level bytes representative of the available discount within the class. The unique number is entered through a setup program embedded in the scale and triggers access to services represented by the class. The system uses the newly available data to supersede corresponding data in the embedded set of classes to create a set of new data. An alternative embodiment of the present invention allows linking of the electronic scale with a data center via communication means such as InterNet access.
