摘要： Miniature high pressure arc lamps containing a substantial pressure of xenon, in addition to metal halide and mercury, can provide instant light at turn-on and are suitable for automotive headlamps. The xenon aggravates convection which causes arc-bowing and overheating of the envelope above the arc. By operating the lamps on unidirectional current upon which a frequency-modulated high frequency ripple has been imposed, acoustic resonance is used to straighten out the arc. The use of unidirectional current permits a reduction in cost and size of the ballast control circuits operated from auto storage battery. Frequency modulation of the ripple broadens the band allowing acoustic straightening of the arc. Additional control of the arc plus reduction of cataphoresis may be achieved through a horizontal magnetic field at the arc, transverse to current flow.
摘要翻译：除了金属卤化物和汞之外，还含有大量氙气的微型高压电弧灯可以在开启时提供即时的光，适用于汽车前照灯。氙气会加剧对流，导致弧线上方的弧形弯曲和过热。通过在施加了调频高频纹波的单向电流上操作灯，使用声共振来矫直电弧。使用单向电流允许降低从自动蓄电池操作的镇流器控制电路的成本和尺寸。纹波的频率调制使得能够矫正电弧的频带变宽。可以通过横向于电流的电弧处的水平磁场来实现对弧的额外控制以及电泳的减少。

摘要： Disclosed is a ballast circuit for a high pressure gas discharge lamp, including a comparator circuit for producing a feedback error signal representing the difference between a feedback signal and a reference signal. The feedback signal is selectively one of a non-light feedback signal and a light feedback signal, as determined by a switching circuit. A power control circuit adjusts the level of power supplied to the lamp in response to the feedback error signal. A first, non-light feedback circuit supplies a non-light feedback signal to the comparator circuit, based on non-light information of the lamp that is fed back to the non-light feedback circuit. A light feedback circuit operative during a lamp warm-up period supplies a light feedback signal to the comparator circuit based on light intensity information that is fed back to the light feedback circuit. The light feedback circuit has an adjustable gain as determined by the difference between measured light intensity and magnitude of the light feedback signal produced. A calibration circuit, operative during steady state lamp operation when the comparator circuit is responsive to the non-light feedback signal, automatically adjusts the gain of the light feedback circuit until a state is reached in which switching to light feedback control would result in substantially no change in light intensity. The calibration circuit includes a calibration memory for storing the gain for use in a subsequent period of lamp warm-up.

摘要： A high power factor electronic ballast for operating a high pressure gas discharge lamp comprises a boost converter function (32) and a buck function (34). The boost converter function and the buck function have common components (46). The combination boost-buck converter (30) reduces parts count, as compared to the parts count required for the separate boost and buck circuits of the prior art, by making some components of the single circuit act simultaneously in both the boost and buck functions. The rigid forcing of the ac input current waveform to follow the ac input voltage waveform is relaxed, to give performance priority to the buck function for the common components. Harmonics are allowed to enter the system in moderation in return for a less expensive and more reliable system that does not compromise lamp power control.

摘要： A circuit arrangement for, and a method of, operating a high pressure discharge lamp are disclosed, especially such a lamp which contains a high xenon pressure along with a fill of mercury and a halide typically used for metal halide lamps. The high xenon pressure allows the xenon-metal halide lamp to obtain instantaneous light at a high intensity level which is particularly suited for automotive applications. The circuit related to the present invention provides for acoustic (high frequency) operation of the lamp which substantially eliminates known disadvantages of the high pressure xenon lamp of (1) severe arc bowing of such lamps having electrode spacing greater than two millimeters; (2) increased hot-spot temperatures of such lamps; (3) decreased cold-spot temperatures of said lamps and (4) reduced lamp efficiency and life respectively due to decreased cold spots and increased hot-spot temperatures. The circuit in a preferred embodiment incorporates frequency modulation to broaden the desired operational frequency band of the circuit along with straightening the arc between electrodes of the high-pressure xenon-metal halide lamp.
