摘要： The present invention features an electronic ballast for use with gas discharge lamps incorporating a microprocessor-based network controller which facilitates the direct attachment of the ballast to a local or building-wide energy management systems. The use of the inventive ballast allows the production of a lighting luminaire whose light output, power consumption, and other operational or environmental parameters can be monitored and controlled as part of the distributed building control network. A building control computer network can control lighting functions, such as power on/off and dimming. The ballast of the present invention includes provision allowing connection to a local utility so that lighting in large buildings can be cut back in times of high power demand to help balance system loading.

摘要： A simple process for card assembly by Direct Chip Attachment (DCA) uses electrically conductive adhesives. Two methods create the same intermediate wafer product with a layer of insulative thermoplastic and conductive thermoplastic bumps. After sawing or dicing the wafer to form the chips, the chips are adhered to chip carriers with conductive pads which match the conductive thermoplastic bumps, using heat and pressure. Chips may be easily removed and replaced using heat.

摘要： The present invention features a gas discharge lamp electronic ballast that uses a frequency-dependent control circuit. The lamps are all energized by means of a single electronic ballast, including an electronically regulated power supply, a power oscillator/driver circuit, an output coupling circuit and a feedback circuit that provides frequency-to-voltage conversion for controlling the output voltage of the power supply. In this way, constant lamp current is maintained, regardless of the number of lamps connected. Since the remaining lamps are operated at their specified, correct lamp current, lamp life is preserved. Another feature of the circuit is its ability to dim the lamp output continuously over a limited range to reduce energy usable in circumstances in which full lamp illumination is not required. Such dimming can be controlled by a suitable external control signal such as from a potentiometer, switch, light monitoring device or a motion detector.

摘要： A system is described for remotely controlling the dimming level of ballasts for fluorescent lamps through standard two-wire AC power wiring normally used within buildings. The system makes use of a unique dimming control that creates a small positive-negative voltage asymmetry, or DC offset, and encodes this control signal onto the power lines that supply the ballasts to be dimmed. The control unit can be integrated with a wall switch as part of a variable dimming control to supply “local” remote control. It can be interfaced to a building control computer. A small decoding module preferably located in the lighting fixture near the ballast recovers the control signal from the applied asymmetry of the power voltage, processes it if necessary, and feeds it to the ballast. To minimize power losses in the dimming control, a DC offset of zero volts, or no asymmetry, produces full light output. For full dimming, an offset of about 15 volts is used. The resulting maximum dissipation is only a few watts when dimming up to six, 32-watt fluorescent lamps. The advantages include savings in re-wiring costs, higher power factor levels, lower harmonic distortion and lower radio frequency interference compared to other two-wire dimming methods.

摘要： A large inrush of electrical current flow occurs during a short interval after switch closure, when power is applied to a conventional electronic ballast commonly used for fluorescent lighting. This inrush current flows as the main filter capacitor in the ballast charges to its steady state value. For a lighting circuit that contains a multiplicity of ballasts, the combined magnitude of the inrush is potentially large enough to cause contact failure of the switching device due to arcing and contact welding. The invention features a circuit for limiting inrush current having a current-limiting resistor that is active for a brief interval during startup. The resistor is subsequently bypassed from the principal current path by a switching transistor. The transistor is controlled by electrical signals normally present in conventional electronic ballasts. The advantage of the inventive circuitry is the use of only two inexpensive components to accomplish inrush current protection.

摘要： The present invention features an integrated, electronic fluorescent ballast fixture which includes an electronic ballast packaged with a set of fluorescent lamp connectors into an integral fixture. The fixture has a circuit board that selectably supports up to four fluorescent lamps. The housing of the fixture id configured to receive a number of lamp connectors. The connectors are electrically, connected to the circuit board use wire and poke-in type connectors. When used with conventional, straight fluorescent lamps, a second set of sockets at the far end of the lamps are also connected to the circuit board using wires received in poke-in connector on the circuit board. The integrated ballast package also works with U-shaped lamps. The housing of the fixture is shaped to accommodate projecting electronic ballast components attached to the circuit board. The transformers and transistors of the circuit board may be thermally sinked, so that their heat is carried to the housing by thermally conductive means. The housing consists of two halves that are assembled together with snap-in action latches, making the fixture quickly and easily fabricated. The ballast fixture can be used with a wide variety of light fixtures because of its modularity, affording a high degree of universality.

摘要： The present invention features an electronic fluorescent lighting ballast which provides a way to transmit data by modulating the light that is emitted from lamps in a luminaire. The modulation occurs at a sufficiently high frequency, so that it is imperceptible in the range of human vision. Data can be represented in the emitted light by frequency-, phase- or amplitude-modulation. Communication methods can be either simplex or duplex. In the preferred embodiment, a simple modification of the base circuit of a typical, Class D, bipolar, push-pull inverter permits frequency- or phase-modulation of the inverter waveform. This causes modulation of the emitted light from the lamps of the luminaire. The transmission of data through an otherwise conventional lighting luminaire is desirable for many commercial applications. One example of its usage is in the transmission of audio or digital information in a grocery or department store from a centralized computer to display units on store shelves. Another example of its usage is in the transmission of audio or digital information from a central computer to various fixed or portable display terminals in an airport, providing arrival and departure information.
