solar mini-dimmings can be detect in the extreme ultra-violet coronal eruptions. here, sequences of 171_a images taken by solar dynamic observatory/atmospheric imaging assembaly on 13 june 2010 are used. in this special day, both of coronal mass ejection and prominence were observed. the average velocities and accelerations of 500 mini-dimmings which were detected using on feature based classif...

David M. Hoffman (SID Member) Abstract— We evaluat Natalie N. Stepien Wei Xiong (SID Member) ed the perceived image quality of High Dynamic Range (HDR) content rendered using different types of local dimming and organic light-emitting diode (OLED) displays. Using an OLED display that is capable of achieving high contrast at a pixel level, we emulated local dimming displays to evaluate their ima...

This paper presents electronic ballast with dimming capability supplying a 32 W fluorescent lamp. The electronic ballast is a self-oscillating driving circuit with an additional circuit responsible for dimming the fluorescent lamp based on a signal from a lighting dependent resistor. This luminous sensor measures the luminous flux level and set the lamp power by the voltage gain variation of th...

A backlight local dimming algorithm is proposed to achieve high static contrast more than 10000:1 on the LCD-TV which is mounted by an LEDarray backlight. On the dark region of the image, the backlight is dimmed to reduce light leakage and get deep dark. The proposed algorithm can avoid or significantly reduce such annoying local dimming artifacts as luminance decrease, nonuniformity and screen...

In the field of indoor wireless networks, visible light communications would be contributing a vital role in the future. This paper investigates the performances of data transmissions using visible light based on unipolar orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) and discusses possible approach for light dimming. Asymmetrically clipped optical OFDM (ACO-OFDM) is considered as a unipolar...

A new primary side regulation constant voltage (PSR-CV) two-stage solution is proposed in this paper to avoid low frequency current ripple and to maintain high power factor, low cost compared with currently single stage and conventional three-stage solution in analog LED dimming or non-dimming application. PSR-CV is employed in primary side to achieve high power factor, simple circuit combined ...

An adaptive dimming technique controls both LCD panel transmittance and its backlight luminance adequately and locally according to the input TV signal. The technique reduces the power consumption and also improves the picture quality. However, a steep change in backlight luminance distribution due to the application of the technique causes image degradation around the boundary of the segments ...

[1] Summer soil moisture increased significantly from 1958 to the mid 1990s in Ukraine and Russia. This trend cannot be explained by changes in precipitation and temperature alone. To investigate the possible contribution from solar dimming and upward CO2 trends, we conducted experiments with a sophisticated land surface model. We demonstrate, by imposing a downward trend in incoming shortwave ...

A digitally addressable digital dimming ballast has been developed. It conforms to DALI standard requiring very few parts and operates at very low power. Applications include building management or studio lighting where it is desired to control single or groups of lamps for conserving energy, performing lamp maintenance or creating prefect light quality. The design includes the digital dimming ...
