摘要:
A power device includes at least two power conversion circuits respectively having at least one of switching elements, at least one of which switching elements in these conversion circuits being used in common as an element constituting the at least two different power conversion circuits, a control device providing at least a period in which at least one of currents flowing from at least one of the different power conversion circuits to the commonly used switching element has a polarity inverse to at least the other one of the currents flowing from at least the other one of the power conversion circuits, so as to cancel each other, and a unit for detecting the state of the respective conversion circuits. The operation of the switching elements is thereby made modifiable in accordance with a lowering in the resistance of a load of the device, and the withstand voltage of the elements can be prevented effectively from rising even upon any fluctuation in the load.

A power source device is so arranged that one of switching elements forming a plurality of power conversion switching circuits which is used in common during each switching cycle is made to have a switching period in which mainly a current is taken up from a power source of first one of the switching circuits, the switching period being varied in a zone in which an input voltage is higher than a predetermined voltage in a cycle of input voltage waveform. Any distortion of input current waveform occurring around lower voltage period of commercial AC source is thereby reduced, in the power source device wherein the power conversion switching circuits employ commonly the switching elements.

A power source device restricts any increase in a switching current to switching elements commonly used in two such different power source circuits as chopper and inverter circuits, while maintaining control independence of these circuits, by setting a period in which among currents flowing to the commonly used switching elements, the current flowing at least from one of the power source circuits has a polarity inverse to that of the current from at least the other power source circuit, to be in mutually cancelling directions.

An electronic ballast for a high intensity discharge lamp (HID) includes a power converters, a controller, and a lamp power switch. In the power converter, an input DC voltage is converted into a ballast output power for lighting the HID lamp. The controller has a function to control the power converter and change the ballast output power. The lamp power switch detects a lamp output parameter indicated after the HID lamp starts discharge, identifies a lamp power of the HID lamp according to the lamp output parameter, and gives an identification signal indicating the lamp power. In response to this identification signal, the power converter outputs the ballast output power which matches with the lamp power identified.

A light emitting device comprises: an LED chip mounted in a recess formed in a mounting substrate; a wavelength converting member that is disposed so as to cover the recess and the edge area around the recess and that is excited by light emitted from the LED chip to emit light of a wavelength different from an excitation wavelength; and an emission control member disposed at a light output side of the wavelength converting member so as to allow emission of light coming from an area of the wavelength converting member that corresponds to the recess and to prevent emission of light coming from an area of the wavelength converting member that corresponds to the edge area around the recess. This can prevent variations in color between light emitted from the central part of the wavelength converting member and light emitted from the part of the wavelength converting member that is located on the edge area around the recess of the mounting substrate, thereby reducing unevenness of color on the irradiation surface.

A vehicle seat is provided with: a rotation lock mechanism for inhibiting or permitting rotation of the both support arms placed at a fixed position relative to base frames and a support arm operation mechanism for actuating the rotation lock mechanism by tilting of a backrest. In the vehicle seat, when the backrest is tilted forward beyond a maximum forward adjustment angle of a reclining angle range, the rotation of the both support arms from the fixed position is permitted. When the backrest is tilted further backward than the maximum forward adjustment angle, the rotation of the both support arms from the fixed position is inhibited.

A lighting device for a high-pressure discharge lamp includes an inverter circuit for converting a DC voltage into an AC voltage using a pair of switching elements. The switching elements have a switching frequency for starting the high-pressure discharge lamp that is higher than a resonance frequency of a series resonance circuit connected in parallel with the discharge lamp. However, in a lighted state of the discharge lamp, the switching frequency is lower than the resonance frequency of the resonance circuit and is within a frequency range where acoustic resonance does not occur. The lighted state of the high-pressure discharge lamp is maintained by a voltage across a capacitor in the series resonance circuit.

An LED luminaire is provided with a light emitting module composed of plural kinds of LEDs emitting lights of different colors, a lens unit having a lens for diffusing the mixed-color light from the light emitting module, a light output controller for controlling electric current fed to each of the LEDs, and a light sensor for sensing the light from the light emitting module. The light output controller performs feedback control on the electric current fed to each of the LEDs based upon light levels of the sensed light, so that the light emitted from the light emitting module has desired chromaticity. The lens unit contains a light guide for guiding the light from the lens to the light sensor and can guide the light from the light emitting module to the light sensor with a high efficiency.
