Abstract: The present invention utilizes the natural damping of acoustic compression waves within an gas discharge tube, typically a high intensity discharge ("HID") lamp, to avoid resonant acoustic waves having sufficient amplitude to affect adversely the performance or lifetime of the HID lamp. The energy delivered to the HID lamp during each half-cycle of driving power is measured and adjusted such that the total time-averaged power delivered to the lamp remains constant at the lamp's rated power level, but the energy delivered to the discharge gas during each half-cycle is maintained below that level of half-cycle energy delivery at which acoustic resonance will overcome damping and build to harmful levels of amplitude. This is accomplished according to the present invention by varying the frequency of the applied electrical power. For a constant time-averaged power delivered to the lamp, increasing the frequency necessarily entails a reduction in the energy delivered per cycle. The present invention relates to maintaining constant power in a HID lamp yet avoiding acoustic resonance by dynamic adjustment of the frequency and power per cycle such that the acoustic wave amplitudes, determined by the power per cycle, is held to a level at which the natural damping mechanisms of the tube will suppress resonance.

Abstract: In a discharge lamp having a discharge medium sealed in a discharge tube assembly including electrodes for producing a discharge, a nitride layer is formed on a surface of an envelope tube of the discharge tube assembly. The nitride layer is formed by substituting an oxygen component of an oxide constituting the tube wall of the envelope tube with nitrogen, and exhibits a continuous and smooth reduction in nitride content in the direction of depth. This chemically stable nitride layer prevents a reaction between the discharge medium and the tube wall material, and removal or injection of the discharge medium. In addition, since the nitride layer also exhibits a continuous change in thermal expansion coefficient in the direction of depth, the thermal stress is reduced, and cracking, peeling, removal, and the like do not occur.

Abstract: 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.

The lamp is operated from a supply source which supplies a power of periodically alternating value.
