摘要： An electrodeless discharge lamp includes a single type auxiliary electrode for preliminary discharging, disposed on or adjacent to outer peripheral wall of lamp tube at a position for being electrostatically coupled to interior space of the tube, and supplied with a power from a second high frequency power source other than a first high frequency power source supplying a high frequency power to a main induction coil on the tube, whereby the lamp is made to attain an excellent startability without requiring any large size high frequency power source.

摘要： The anodes in a ring laser gyroscope are appropriately positioned for the easy starting of a gas discharge and maintaining the discharge at a lower electrical potential. Two operating anodes are placed symmetrical with and in close proximity to a cathode while a third trigger anode is placed in direct line of sight with the cathode. This configuration allows ease in starting without using a very large starting voltage.

摘要： In a UV high-power radiator, a plurality of dielectric tubes (6) having internal electrodes (7) are disposed in the interior of a quartz housing having rectangular cross section. The interior of the housing is filled with a filling gas which emits UV radiation under discharge conditions. The electrical supply is provided in such a way that the discharges (17) develop between adjacent dielectric tubes (6). A notable feature of this construction is its compactness, economical nature and service friendliness.

摘要： A cold-cathode fluorescent discharge tube has a pair of electrodes for performing discharge between the electrodes in response to the application of a voltage therebetween. The fluorescent discharge tube of the invention includes an auxiliary electrode provided in the vicinity of one of the pair of electrodes, and a unit for applying the voltage between the pair of electrodes and between the auxiliary electrode and the one of the electrodes. With the auxiliary electrode, a discharge is firstly started between the auxiliary electrode and the one of the electrodes in response to the application of the voltage between the pair of electrodes. Thereafter, a discharge is started between the pair of electrodes. Thus, the start discharge is generated in the discharge tube in a relatively short period of time even if the discharge tube is set in the off state for a long time, particularly in the dark at a low temperature.

摘要： A mercury vapor discharge lamp such as a negative glow discharge lamp includes a light-transmitting envelope containing a noble gas fill material. An anode electrode and a cathode electrode are spacedly located within the envelope. An amalgam-forming material for regulating the mercury vapor pressure of the lamp is disposed within the envelope. In order to increase the mercury vapor pressure and consequently the light output of the lamp at low ambient temperatures, a heating element is disposed within the envelope and in close thermal proximity to the amalgam-forming material. A thermostatic switch coupled to the heating element is activated when the temperature adjacent the amalgam-forming material is below a predetermined temperature.

摘要： An arc discharge lamp having an arc tube mounted within a lamp envelope includes a thermal switch for controlling application of electrical energy to a starting electrode. The thermal switch is mounted between the arc tube and the lamp base with its longitudinal axis generally parallel to the central axis of the lamp envelope. The thermal switch is spaced from the central axis of the lamp envelope by a support rod and extends into an annular space between the lamp stem and the wall of the lamp envelope. As a result, the maximum temperature of the thermal switch during lamp operation does not exceed about 400.degree. C.

摘要： A high pressure sodium discharge lamp having an arc tube mounted within a lamp envelope and having a resistor connected electrically in series with the arc tube. An insulative body is provided between the arc tube feed-through closest to the stem and a rigid conductor for axially supporting the arc tube and electrically insulating the feed-through from the rigid conductor. The series flicker-elimination resistor is mounted adjacent the lamp stem and electrically shunts the insulative body. An integral thick film resistor which includes the series resistor and a starting resistor for a starting circuit has optimized terminal placement for simplifying mount construction.

摘要： A glow discharge lamp includes a sealed lamp envelope containing a noble gas and mercury, a cathode and an anode disposed in the lamp envelope and an incandescent filament for emitting visible light for illumination immediately upon application of power and for emitting little or no visible light after a glow discharge is formed between the cathode and the anode. The filament, the cathode and the anode are electrically connected in series. The lamp envelope typically includes a phosphor coating for emission of visible light upon absorption of ultraviolet radiation from the glow discharge. An optional switch can be used for disconnecting the filament during steady state operation of the glow discharge lamp.

摘要： A starting circuit for an electrodeless high intensity discharge lamp comprises a high efficiency power supply for providing a radio frequency signal to a starting probe disposed proximate the arc tube of the lamp. The power supply may comprise either a Class-D or Class-E power amplifier having an output resonant circuit tuned to a substantially higher frequency than the operating frequency of the signal provided to the excitation coil by the lamp ballast to ensure minimal interaction between the starting circuit and the ballast. The output resonant circuit includes an inductance coupled in series with a capacitance that preferably comprises the capacitance between the excitation coil and the starting probe. After initiating the arc discharge, the starting circuit is deactivated.
