Characteristics of electrodeless lamp as a load of the ballast are different compared to normal fluorescent lamp because the lame includes an inductance due to coupling magnetics for inductive discharging process. This increased parameter makes the development of self-oscillation type ballast more complex and time consuming. Practical simulation method for an easy design of self-oscillation type ballast especially for Endura lamp, is presented by using a model and various analysis of simulation. Results of experiment are given for a verification of proposed method.

To effectively manage a electric lamp on a remote place, it is required to identify a status of the lamp or the place. however, since there is no methods to notify the status of sensor to the central management system in a lamp system based on the non-networked sensor, it is difficult to manage the lamps remotely. In this paper, we propose the lamp management system to acquire the various status informations of lamps using more than two sensors. To get the status remotely, the system exploits a wireless network based on the ZigBee. The benefit of this system is to help the efficient decision makings of administrators.

FFL의 내구성 및 신뢰성 확보를 위해 Lamp 상태에서 원하는 부위에 $-15^{\circ}C$를 유지하기 위한 Cold Spot을 부착하여 Lamp안의 Hg이 완전히 포집되도록 한다. 이후 이 Cold Spot을 제거하여 Hg peak과 Ne Peak의 Ratio의 변화를 관찰하며 Hg이 이동하는 것을 관잘 하여 Lamp 내에서 이동 속도와 Lamp 간에 이동 속도를 확인 할 수 있다. Lamp 내에서는 80분이 경과한 후에 Hg 이동이 Saturation되는 것을 확인 할 수 있고, Lamp 간에는 100시간이 경과후에 Saturation 되는 것을 확인 할 수 있었고, Ratio는 Channel내는 70 ~ 150, Channel간에는 6~10 정도임을 확인하여 Hg이 이동되는 속도와 회복되는 수준을 알 수 있었다.

Generally Lighting system consists of lamp and luminaire. When a fluorescent lamp is installed in luminaire, power and light output is changed by ambient temperature. Particularly electrodeless lamp depends on the changes that are mercury pressure with amalgam temperature and magnetic properties with ferrite temperature. It has finally influence on optical efficiency. In this study, the temperature change of ferrite and cold spot, vessel are measured at transitional state and then same characteristics are measured with increase of ambient temperature. At transitional state, luminous flux is related to temperature change of cold spot that compare with behavior of mercury pressure and light output. At increase of ambient temperature, we analyzed change that efficiency and electrical, optical characteristics of elecrodeless lamp are related to ferrite core and cold spot temperature. Additionally, spectrum, color temperature and coordination are measured to check that is relation with ambient temperature.

The recent TFT-LCD Trend that is done large size gradually. As size of monitor great, though problem happens, it is that consumer's request which it makes monitor combined TV function. Monitor and TV are no difference externally greatly, but define difference happens as for backlight. An external electrode fluorescent lamp (EEFL) has an advantage of a long lifetime in the early stages of the study on plasma discharge, interest in the lamp continues. Researches on the operation of external electrode fluorescent lamps have focused mainly on its use of a type of high frequency (MHz). By performing high Luminance using a square wave operation method with the low frequency below 100kHz, which is applied to a narrowed tube type lamp that has several mm of lamp diameter, EEFL presented the possibility of using it as a light source for back-lights. However, because EEFL generates plasma using wall charges, which considers the impedance characteristics of glass based on the structural principle in discharge, it can be significantly affected by frequency. Thus, this study verified the change in the characteristics of electromagnetic fields according to the change in frequency through a Maxwell electromagnetic field simulation and examined the relationship between the change in the EEFL frequency and Luminance by measuring the optical characteristics.

This paper gives an assessment criteria and reliability improvement for high frequency power supply of high efficacy electrodeless fluorescent lamp. The electrodeless fluorescent lamp system consist of electrodeless fluorescent lamp, high frequency power supply and lighting fixtures. The high frequency power supply has a shortest life at the system. Therefore It is need th assess the Failure Rate or mean Time To Failure(MTTF) for the high frequency power supply of electrodeless fluorescent lamp system and improve the reliability at design. We suggest the assessment criteria and improve methods of the reliability on the design basis for the electodeless fluorescent system.

Compact fluorescent lamps are very sensitive to the variation of ambient temperature. This paper investigates the temperature characteristics of a 15[W] compact fluorescent lamp, and compensates the variation of light output by frequency control of its electronic ballast. Circuit parameters for the inverter of the electronic ballast are obtained by analyzing the R-L-C equivalent circuit for the inverter and the lamp. The optimum ratio of the two capacitance($C_1$/$C_2$), which are connected with the lamp in series and in parallel, respectively, is determined which consideration of the temperature variation within a range of 10~35[$^{\circ}C$]. As a result a value of 10 for the ratio is obtained at an operating frequency of 57[kHz], and with this value the frequency control works well for temperature compensation. Its validity is verified by investigating light output stabilization characteristics resulting from frequency control of the lamp at various temperatures.

In whole world consciousness of environment maintenance have increased very quickly for the end of the 20th century. To use and disuse toxic substances have been controled at the field of industry. Also the field of lighting source belong to environmental control. And in the future the control will be strong. In radiational mechanism of fluorescence lamp mechanism is the worst environmental problem. In radiational mechanism of fluorescence lamp mercury is the worst environmental problem root. In the mercury free lighting source system the Xe gas lamp is one type. And the Ne:Xe mixing gas lamp improvements firing voltage of Xe gas lamp. Purpose and subject of this study are understand, efficiency, ideal of Ne:Xe plasma which mercury free lamp. Before ICP was designed, basic parameters of plasma, which are electron temperature and electron density, were measured and calculated by Langmuir probe data. Property of electron temperature and electron density were confirmed by changing ratio of Ne:Xe.

Conventional backlight for liquid crystal display (LCD) uses mercury which leads to environmental pollution. In this study, characteristics of AC coplanar type mercury-free plasma flat lamp have been studied. Pollution-free Xe-He is adopted as a discharge gas system. Since the Xe gas has a lower efficiency in generating vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) than mercury, the improvement of luminance and luminous efficiency in the Xe gas system is very important. The electrode, dielectric, and phosphor layers constituting lamp are formed on the bottom glass by the screen printing method. The effects of pulse shape, on-time, and pulse frequency on the luminance and luminous efficiency have been examined. For Xe(5%)-He gas, the lamp exhibits higher efficiency with sharper pulse shape, higher peak voltage, and shorter pulse on-time (up to 2 $\mu\textrm{s}$). Higher efficiency and lower consumption of power were obtained at 30 kHz than at 60 kHz. The collision of ion to bottom electrodes is a dominant factor to raise the lamp temperature. Therefore the high voltage and low current discharge system is necessary for reduction of the lamp temperature as well as for enhancement of the luminous efficiency.

Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) was developed to detect Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTC) and non-tuberculous mycobacterium (NTM) genomic DNA in blood samples of Korea native cattle. A set of four primers, two outer and two inner, were designed from M. bovis and M. avium genomic DNA targeting the IS6110 and 16S rRNA gene, respectively. Based on 85 Intradermal Tuberculin Test (ITT) positive blood sample and using conventional PCR and LAMP, the agreement quotient (kappa), which measures agreement beyond chance were 0.93 (conventional PCR) and 0.97 (LAMP), respectively. The detection limit of the LAMP method was $2.0{\times}10^2$ copy/ml M. bovis and M. avium cells, compared to $2.0{\times}10^3$ copy/ml M. bovis and M. avium cells for conventional PCR. These results suggest that the LAMP is a powerful tool for rapid, sensitive, and practical detection of MTC and NTM in blood samples of Korea native cattle.
