A 10-year-old intact female Jindo dog was presented with a 1-week history of conjunctival redness and ocular discharge in the left eye. There was an absence of menace response, dazzle reflex, and direct pupillary light reflex. Slit-lamp biomicroscopy revealed corneal edema, ciliary flush, and aqueous flare. Intraocular pressure was 68 mmHg. Based on the information available, a diagnosis of glaucoma and uveitis was made. Subsequent histopathologic examination showed the glaucoma was produced by the effects of goniodysgenesis, posterior synechia, and pigment dispersion in the trabecular meshwork. This is the first report of primary glaucoma caused by goniodysgenesis in Jindo dogs.

This paper presents high efficiency control system of automotive 35W electronic ballast for high intensity discharge(HID) lamp using switching flyback converter with variable frequency. Considering performance, size and efficiency of ballast, the flyback converter is designed with planar transformer in converter stage. HID lamp demands a highly efficient ballast and very complex control circuitry that can control complex transient state for applying to automotive. The proposed electronic ballast system is composed of a flyback converter using planar transformer, a full bridge inverter, and a step up igniter. In this system, switching frequency of flyback converter is controlled by varying input voltage of HID ballast and the price and the size of HID ballast using planar transformer can be reduced. The performance and efficiency of the posed system are verified through various the experiment results.

Fluorescent lamps generally involve mercury within their lamp bulbs. Thus if the lamps are disposed as they are, it might cause environmental pollution. On the other hand, as the life of the lamps depends on the degradation of the discharge performance, the fluorescent substance composing the fluorescent substance coating can be recycled by reusing them as the recycled fluorescent substance. Also, the glass material composing the glass bulbs can be reused. The range of search was limited in the open patents of USA (US), European Union (EU), Japan (JP), Korea (KR) and SCI journals from 1977 to 2011. Patents and journals were collected using key-words searching and filtered by filtering criteria. The trends of the patents and journals was analyzed by the years, countries, companies, and technologies. Recovery method of metals from spent fluorescent lamps is mainly the focus on the recovery of precious metals using acid treatment and, detoxification technology is related with controlling process of mercury using a filter system.

The electrodeless lamps using the induction discharge have a long lifetime and a high tolerance for the variable output conditions of a ballast since they don't need the electrodes. This paper proposed two novel dimming algorithms for the Electrodeless lamps and described the resonant inverter adopted the proposed methods. The proposed dimming algorithms are based on the conventional burst dimming method which is normally adopted for LCD back-lights. One of the proposed algorithms is a improved burst dimming method, which controls the illumination by duty ratio of $5\%$ and its control circuit is formed by simple digital logics. The other algorithm is a burst PWM average duty ratio control method, which controls the illumination by duty ratio of $1\%$ and its control circuit is formed by more complex digital logics than the first method. To verify the validity of the proposed dimming methods, a prototype experimental setup for 100W Electrodeless lamps is carried out and its results are presented in this paper.

The different degrees of blackening were observed at the inner surface of borosilicate, soda-lime, and aluminosilicate glass tubes having different sodium (Na) contents. The sodium contents ($Na_2O$) within the borosilicate, soda-lime, and aluminosilicate glass tubes were found to be 4%, 14%, and 0.06%, respectively. The degree of blackening was shown to increase as the sodium content within the glass of the fluorescent lamp containing Ne+Ar+Hg gas mixture. Higher degree of blackening was observed from the inner surface of the glass tube coated with $Y_2O_3$. The blackening was found to be originated from the amalgam of $NaHg_2$ generated by the chemical reaction between the mercury ions within the discharge gas and sodium within the glass tube during operation.

Influence of glass dielectric property (dielectric constant K, dielectric loss) on the external electrode fluorescent lamps of the dielectric barrier discharge has been investigated with 4-different glasses. Conventional borosilicate glass tubes with $K=5.6{\sim}5.9$ and tan ${\delta}=5.0{\times}10^{-3}{\sim}6.0{\times}10^{-3}$ and aluminosilicate glass tubes with high K=6.6 and low tan ${\delta}=1{\times}10^{-4}$ and soda-lime glass tribes with K=7.7 and tan ${\delta}=1.37{\times}10^{-2}$ have been compared. The high value of dielectric constant K makes the capacitance of external electrode fluorescent lamps intensity and enhances the discharge efficiency. The dielectric loss of tan ${\delta}$ shows the factor of power consumption in the external electrode to induce heats and to be weak in pinhole stability. The aluminosilicate glass tubes of high K and low tan ${\delta}$ have been enhanced by $14{\sim}18%$ in luminance and efficiency in comparison with the conventional borosilicate glass tubes and the aluminosilicate external electrode fluorescent lamps are strong against the pinhole formation. Soda-lime glass tubes with high K and high tan ${\delta}$ are a little favorable in luminance and efficiency and they are very weak in pinhole occurrence.

A new diagnostics of plasma electron temperature and plasma density is introduced with the observation of the light emission along the tube of external electrode fluorescent lamps. With two different methods operating an external electrode fluorescent lamp of outer diameter 4.0 mm and length 860 mm for the back-light source of 37-inch LCD-TVs, the lighting modes and the plasma properties are investigated. In the center balance operation, the light-emission propagates simultaneously from both sides of the high voltage electrodes to the center of the lamp, while in conventional operation the light-emission propagates from the one end of a high voltage to the other ground electrode. In the operation value of luminance $10,000{\sim}15,000cd/m^2$, the electron plasma thermal energy $(kT_e)$ is about $1.3{\sim}2.7eV$ with the electron density $(n_e)$ is about $(1.6{\sim}3.6){\times}10^{16}m^{-3}$.

UV lamp systems have been used for cleaning of display panels of TFT LCD or Plasma Display Panel (PDP). However, the needs for high efficient cleaning and low cost made high voltage plasma cleaning techniques to be developed and to be improved. Dielectric-Barrier Discharges (DBDs), also referred to as barrier discharges or silent discharges have been exclusively related to ozone generation for a long time. In this paper, a 6kW high voltage plasma power supply system was developed for LCD cleaning. The 3-phase input voltage is rectified and then inverter system is used to make a high frequency pulse train, which is rectified after passing through a high-power transformer. Finally, hi-directional high voltage pulse switching circuits are used to generate the high voltage plasma. Some experimental results showed the usefulness of atmospheric plasma for LCD panel cleaning.

The rapidly advanced industrial society takes advantage of high-technology, but it also suffered from the side effects such as various diseases by contamination. Of these problems, air pollution is considered as the most important problem nowadays. Air contamination is not only limited outdoors, but it also causes more serious effect in our indoor air environment. Depending on the notion that indoor air effects physical health seriously, the needs of the air cleaner is more earnest. Therefore, the main purpose of this study is to develop the air cleaner to meet the standard and get rid of poisonous and harmful material from the atmosphere by using a Corona Discharge. According to the purpose of this study, We set the negative ion generator, the UV, $TiO_{2}$ optical catalyzer, the electrical dust collector and the air filter in series order. It emits a lot of negative ions. We use these ions to purify harmful factors and contaminated materials. We collect the dust using static power that comes from the discharge of corona. At the same time, we try to develop the air cleaner to keep the air quality to meet the standard and kill the various viruses using UV LED and $TiO_{2}$ optical catalyzer. In this study, we use the UV LED that is smaller and efficient than a existing UV lamp. What is more, the UV LED has a features that a stabilizer occupying much space is not needed any more.
