A Consideration on Economical Illumination Levels in Fluorescent Lamp and Fluorescent Mercury Lamp Installations

Electrical feedback control for driving mercury-free flat fluorescent lamp

Joung-Hu Park Jong-Bok Baek Bo-Hyung Cho Abstract — Recently, a mercury-free flat fluorescent lamp has been developed for LCD backlight application, utilizing a glow-discharge mode instead of a discharge contraction. This paper proposes a lamp-driving system with a feedback loop which prevents discharge contraction and stabilizes the operation of the lamp ignition and radiation. By measuring th...

Fiat Lux: A Fluorescent Lamp Tkansceiver

The prevalence of electric discharge illumination has led us to consider ways to use discharge lamps for communication. This paper describes an optical transceiver system which transmits by modulating the lamp arc. The prototype power electronic lamp ballast uses a pulse frequency modulation scheme which ensures no perceptible flicker.

The effect of compact fluorescent lamp and curcumin on wound healing in Wistar Rats

Background: Nowadays, the rapid recovery of skin lesions and functional return are among the goals of researchers. The skin is the first defensive barrier against microorganisms in the body and its failure causes infection to spread in all systems of the body. By taking into account the contradictory results of previous studies on the impact of phototherapy on wound healing and also the conside...
