Abstract: A ballast to energize a lamp is provided. The ballast comprises a buck converter connected to an inverter via a switching component. The buck converter includes a transistor, a capacitor, a diode, and an inductor. The switching component has a predetermined breakover voltage value and is configured to provide a start up signal to the inverter when voltage at the switching component increases to the predetermined breakover voltage value. A control circuit is configured to monitor the voltage at the switching component while the voltage at the switching component increases to the predetermined breakover voltage, and is configured to generate a gate drive pulse at a gate terminal of the transistor when the voltage at the switching component reaches a predetermined voltage that is less than the breakover voltage of the switching component.

Abstract: A electrodeless lamp including a fluorescent discharge vessel, a tip, an amalgam, a lamp core, and a heater. The vessel contains a gas having a partial vapor pressure and a fluorescent material. The tip has an inner end engaging the vessel, and an opening in communication with the gas. The amalgam is positioned within the opening, in heat transfer relation with the tip. When the temperature of the amalgam decreases, mercury vapor in the gas condensates onto the amalgam, causing a decrease in the partial vapor pressure of the gas. The opposite occurs when the amalgam temperature increases. The lamp core generates a magnetic flux, causing an electrical discharge in the gas. The heater includes a positive temperature coefficient connected to a winding of the lamp core. The heater is in heat transfer relation with the tip and heats the tip when the electrodeless lamp is in a dimming mode.

Abstract: A restart circuit for causing an electronic ballast to perform a restart in response to reconnecting any lamp of a multiple lamp configuration of the electronic ballast to the electronic ballast is disclosed. The electronic ballast includes a filament health check circuit for providing a first current through a monitored filament of the lamps to a controller of the ballast. The controller restarts the electronic ballast when a determined ratio of the first current to a reference current indicates that the monitored filament has been disconnected or broken (i.e., the first current substantially decreases) and is subsequently replaced or reconnected to the ballast (i.e., the first current returns to a predetermined level). The ballast further comprises a dv/dt circuit for reducing the first current for a transient time period in response to reconnecting a filament other than the monitored filament to the ballast, causing the controller to restart the ballast.

Abstract: A control circuit for use in a ballast configured for powering a first lamp set and a second lamp set. The second lamp set is operated via a controller and a second lamp driver circuit. The controller enables the second lamp driver circuit as a function of a monitored value corresponding to a current through a lamp of the second lamp set. The control circuit includes first and second input terminals for selectively connecting to the power supply. The control circuit reduces the monitored value as a function of a connection state of the first and second input terminals of the control circuit to the power supply. Thus, the control circuit causes the controller to selectively operate the second lamp driver circuit in order to energize the second lamp set in combination with the first lamp set.

Abstract: In an embodiment, a method comprises receiving a path advertisement comprising information about an available path and a well-known community value associated with the available path. A modified best path calculation is performed in response to receiving the available path either from a higher-ranked device or from a device that is not participating in diverse path calculation, resulting in creating a particular best path. The particular best path is advertised to other routers with or without a restriction indicator based on whether it is a client learned path or non-client iBGP peer learned path and based on whether the advertisement is directed to a client or a non-client iBGP peer.

Abstract: Resistive switching memory elements are provided that may contain electroless metal electrodes and metal oxides formed from electroless metal. The resistive switching memory elements may exhibit bistability and may be used in high-density multi-layer memory integrated circuits. Electroless conductive materials such as nickel-based materials may be selectively deposited on a conductor on a silicon wafer or other suitable substrate. The electroless conductive materials can be oxidized to form a metal oxide for a resistive switching memory element. Multiple layers of conductive materials can be deposited each of which has a different oxidation rate. The differential oxidization rates of the conductive layers can be exploited to ensure that metal oxide layers of desired thicknesses are formed during fabrication.
