Abstract:
A UV-emitting phosphor blend is provided which comprises a mixture of at least two UVA-emitting phosphors selected from SrB4O7:Eu, YPO4:Ce, and BaSi2O5:Pb wherein the sum of the weight percentages of the phosphors in the mixture equals 100%. The phosphor blend may additionally contain an amount of a UVB-emitting phosphor in an amount from 0 to 12 wt. % of the mixture. Tanning lamps containing these blends exhibit increases in initial UVA output and UVA maintenance.

Abstract:
A U-shaped compact fluorescent sun-tanning lamp (10) capable of generating and transmitting desired and undesired wavelengths of ultraviolet radiation, for example, the desired wavelength is in the range of 352 nm and the undesired wavelength is in the range of 254 nm. The lamp (10) comprises two lamp tubes (12) that are transparent to the desired wavelength of the ultraviolet radiation and substantially opaque to the undesired wavelength of the ultraviolet radiation. The tubes (12) are connected at the upper portion by a bight (14) that in an unmodified state is transparent to both the desired and the undesired wavelengths of the ultraviolet radiation. A modification (16) on the bight (14) is opaque to at least the undesired wavelength of ultraviolet radiation. In a preferred embodiment the modification is a ceramic paint (18).
Abstract:
A self-ballasted fluorescent lamp (10) that comprises a housing (12) formed to contain a ballast. The housing (12) has a top surface (14) with openings (16) leading from the exterior of the housing (12) to the interior. The openings (16) can be in the form of raised bosses having upstanding walls (16a). A restricted portion (18), which can take the form of a flange, is formed with the opening (16) and a safe end-of-life enabling device (20) is positioned in the opening (16) and in contact with the restricted portion (18). The safe end-of-life device (20) is tubular, has low thermal conductivity and in preferred forms of the invention is a glass such as quartz or a ceramic such as aluminum oxide. The ends (22) of a fluorescent lamp (24) penetrate the tubular end-of-life device (20) and extend into the interior of the housing for suitable connection to an enclosed electronic ballast. A retainer (26) is positioned opposite the restricted portion for maintaining the end-of-life device within the opening. The retainer (26) is a typical compact fluorescent cement that is used to fix the lamp to the housing. Alternatively, the retainer can be an adhesive silicone or a threaded washer.
Abstract:
Method for introducing a limited amount of mercury into a fluorescent lamp during manufacture thereof includes the steps of forming the lamp with an exhaust tubulation therein open at an end thereof, exhausting the interior of the lamp through the exhaust tubulation, placing a body of metal material not reactive with mercury in the exhaust tubulation open end, the body having a coating of metal which amalgams with mercury, over a selected surface area of the body, and having mercury on the coated area of the body, such that a limited amount of the mercury is retained by the metal coating, and sealing the open end of the exhaust tubulation, whereby the amount of mercury retained on the body and introduced into the lamp is limited by the surface area of the metal coating on the body.
Abstract:
A tungsten disulfide powder comprised of macro-spherical particles of tungsten disulfide having an average particle diameter of from about 5 to about 50 micrometers is prepared by successively treating spray-dried powders of ammonium metatungstate with heat in air and sulfidizing the resultant tungsten trioxide in a carbon disulfide-containing atmosphere at about 750null C. The tungsten disulfide powder may also be formed to have a bimodal particle size distribution of the macro-spherical particles and smaller, dispersed micro- to submicron-sized fine particles.
Abstract:
A large-diameter tungsten-lanthana rod having an elongated grain structure substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the rod is described. The large diameter rod is produced by rolling at a temperature greater than 1400null C. and less than 1700null C. to achieve at least about a 40% reduction in cross-sectional area. The high strength of the longitudinally elongated grain structure is desirable for applications such as rocket nozzles.
Abstract:
A high intensity discharge (HID) lamp includes a starting gas, a vaporizable fill, and only one electrode sealed within a light transmissive envelope. The one electrode produces a high intensity discharge during operation of the lamp and is connected to an inlead that extends outside the sealed envelope. A ground for electric field lines emanating from the electrode during operation of the lamp is outside the envelope. The ground may be a reflector for the lamp that has an electrically conductive surface. The high intensity discharge is initiated by applying high frequency power to the inlead.
Abstract:
A moisture-resistant electroluminescent phosphor is provided wherein the individual phosphor particles have a first coating of an inorganic moisture-resistant coating and a second coating of an organic moisture-resistant coating. The process for making the moisture-resistant phosphor comprises applying a first layer of an inorganic moisture-resistant coating to individual particles of an electroluminescent phosphor to form a first-coated phosphor, substantially isolating said first-coated phosphor from contact with atmospheric oxygen and moisture, and applying a second layer of an organic moisture-resistant coating to the first-coated phosphor to form a second-coated phosphor.
Abstract:
Various implementations disclosed herein includes a method for operating lighting fixtures in horticultural applications. The method may include receiving a user input of a desired irradiance for a first color channel of one or more lighting fixtures that irradiates a plant bed, in which each of the one or more lighting fixtures comprises at least one light emitting diode (LED) array, determining, for each of the one or more lighting fixtures, a PWM setting of the first color channel such that each of the one or more lighting fixtures irradiate the plant bed at the desired irradiance based on calibration data stored in each of the one or more lighting fixtures, and applying, to each of the one or more lighting fixtures, the determined PWM setting of the first color channel.
