    • This invention provides an improved method of fabricating an arc tube, particularly a miniaturized arc tube having precise geometry and requiring exact electrode alignment. The improved method divides the press sealing operation into two distinct steps. In the first or preforming step, the ends of the arc tube are heated and preformed such that the ends have a substantially elliptical cross section; in the second or pressing step, the preformed ends are heated and pressed together to form completed press seals. During each step, the viscosity of the pliable glass remains low so that internal shearing forces are substantially reduced from those experienced in the prior art methods. As a result of the low viscosity during the pressing step, electrode misalignment, tearing of molybdenum foils, and deformation of the midsection of the arc tube are virtually eliminated. An electrode and a starting probe may be inserted with ease into a preformed end because of its flattened cross section. In the absence of the preforming step, a tubular blank having a larger internal diameter might be required thereby necessitating a more bulky arc tube and greater glass consumption.
    • 本发明提供了一种制造电弧管的改进方法,特别是具有精确几何形状并需要精确电极对准的小型化电弧管。 改进的方法将压力密封操作分为两个不同的步骤。 在第一或预成形步骤中,电弧管的端部被加热并预成型,使得端部具有基本上椭圆形的横截面; 在第二或按压步骤中,将预成型的端部加热并压在一起以形成完成的压力密封。 在每个步骤期间,柔韧玻璃的粘度保持较低,使得内部剪切力与现有技术方法中经历的剪切力基本上相比减小。 由于压制步骤中的粘度低,电极未对准,钼箔撕裂以及电弧管中部变形几乎被消除。 由于电极和起始探头的横截面平坦,所以可以容易地将电极和起始探针插入预成型端。 在没有预成型步骤的情况下,可能需要具有较大内径的管状坯料,因此需要更大体积的电弧管和更大的玻璃消耗。

    • A circuit for starting and operating a high intensity discharge (HID)lamp in a dc mode includes a pulse width modulator (PWM) coupled to first and second direct current input terminals. The PWM includes a high frequency generator driving a pair of semiconductor switches. A first transformer having primary and secondary windings is coupled to the semiconductor switches. A rectifier and voltage multiplier circuit converts the voltage across the secondary winding of the first transformer to a direct current voltage. A first energy storage circuit coupled to the rectifier and voltage multiplier circuit stores energy for generating a high voltage spike which initiates a glow condition in the lamp. A secondary energy storage circuit, which stores energy for application to the HID lamp during starting, insures proper glow-to-arc transition. The starting and operating circuit further includes a second transformer having first and second secondary windings coupled to the HID lamp and a pulse winding coupled to the first energy storage circuit. Preferably, the windings of the second transformer are adapted to apply a negative-going pulse across the lamp. The application of a negative-going pulse prevents failure of the quartz region of the glass around the lamp cathode by insuring that electrons properly migrate from the cathode to the anode. Moreover, the use of the negative-going pulse improves hot restriking.

    • A ballast for starting and operating a high intensity discharge (HID) lamp in a dc mode includes an oscillator coupled to first and second direct current input terminals. The oscillator includes a high frequency generator driving a pair of semiconductor switches. A first transformer having primary and secondary windings is coupled to the semiconductor switches. A rectifier and voltage multiplier circuit converts the voltage across the secondary winding of the first transformer to a dc voltage. A first energy storage circuit coupled to the rectifier and voltage multiplier circuit stores energy for generating a negative-going, high-voltage spike sufficient for initiating a glow condition in the lamp. A second energy storage circuit, which stores energy for application to the HID lamp during starting, insures proper glow-to-arc transition. The starting and operating circuit further includes a control circuit for regulating lamp power in response to control signals received from voltage and current monitoring circuits. A portion of the ballast is adapted to permit the lamp to reach full light output in a relatively short period of time by briefly operating the lamp at an elevated power level during starting.
