Several power factor correction(PFC) circuits are presented to achieve high PF electronic ballast for both voltage-fed and current-fed electronic ballast. The proposed PFC circuits use valley-fill(VF) type DC-link stages modified from the conventional VF circuit to adopt the charge pumping method for PFC operations during the valley intervals. In voltage-fed ballast, charge pump capacitors are connected with the resonant capacitors. In current-fed type, the charge pump capacitors are connected with the additional secondary-side of the power transformer. The measured PF and THD are higher than 0.99 and 15% for all proposed PFC circuits. The lamp current CF is also acceptable in the proposed circuits. The proposed circuit is suitable for implementing cost-effective electronic ballast.

LEDs which have many merits are widely used in the field of light devices, and have rapidly replaced old light devices such as incandescent or fluorescent lamps. Long life, on the order of 50,000 to 100,000 hours, is one of the key features of light emitting diodes(LEDs) that has attracted the lighting community to this technology. High Power white LEDs have yet to demonstrate this capability. This paper planed accelerated life test that has two factor(temperature, current) and two levels. Finally, using ALTA programs, we estimated the common shape parameter of Weibull distribution, life-stress relationship, B10 life and accelerating factors.

The conventional cold cathode fluorescent lamp (CCFL) driver for LCD TV has a transformer for each lamp to step up the high sinusoidal waveform from the low input voltage. The transformer used in the conventional topology causes the driver to have bulky size and high cost. This paper proposes a new transformer-less CCFL driver for LCD backlight that is based on the parallel-loaded resonant inverter topology. This resonant topology enables the circuit to supply enough high voltage for CCFL without a transformer. Also, with current-balancing technique, this transformer-less inverter drives 16 CCFL lamps.

Effect of light quality on plant temperatures at joining parts of grafted watermelon seedlings was investigated using a thermal imaging system in this study. Plant temperatures at joining parts lowered than those at stem region during graft-taking. However, difference in plant temperatures at joining parts and at stem region decreased by days after graft-taking. Plant temperatures of grafted seedlings graft-taken under white, blue, red, and blue + red fluorescent lamps repeatedly fluctuated high at photoperiod and low at dark period. Considering the variation of plant temperatures at joining pa퍼5, the illumination of blue and red light as well as white light will be effective for grafting of grafted watermelon seedlings. It is recommended that air temperature around grafted seedlings should be maintained at 27 to $29^{\circ}C$ for enhancing the physiological reaction of callus and for the smooth joining of scion and rootstock.

An object color can be seen differently under the various outer illuminants. However, human visual system has color constancy that the object color can be seen constantly under the different outer illuminants. When the viewer watches TV under specific outer illuminants, he perceives distorted color due to the emitting spectrum of outer illuminants as well as the radiation of CPT itself. Namely, when the outer illuminants such as fluorescent and incandescent lamps incident on CPT, brightness, saturation, hue, and contrast on color pictures are changed, he perceives distorted color from the original color. In this paper color enhancement algorithm based on light intensity and outer light decision function using RGB sensor was proposed. The implemented TV of proposed algorithm has higher visual quality at the view point of human visual system and more vivid than that of conventional color TV.

The amount of mercury emitted from an incinerator depends on the properties of waste, combustion condition, and control devices. Mercury concentration in air proportionates to the increase of incinerator installation. The purpose of this study is to provide a method for determination of mercury emission factor which can predict the amount of mercury emitted from each incinerator specifically. Case study was performed for N municipal waste incinerator. Based on the method presented in this paper, we obtained mercury emission factor as 1.85~1.95 g Hg/t at N Municipal Waste Incinerator and this result was regarded as reasonable when compared with existing mercury emission factor in reference cases. Fluorescent lamps turned out to be the most important source(44.4%) of mercury in municipal waste and its amount will tend to increase, while batteries become less significant. In addition, medical waste is one of the major source of mercury.

A LCD backlight inverter control IC based on the piezoelectric transformer (PZT) for Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp (CCFL) lighting is proposed. It is indeed a variable frequency, variable duty (VFVD) controller having dual feedback control loops for achieving both the regulation of lamp current and the maximum efficiency. The PWM controller regulates the lamp current, while the PLL controller tunes the operating frequency to the frequency that the efficiency of the combined LC-PZT resonator becomes maximum. The mixed PLL/PWM control technique lets the backlight inverter operate at the maximum efficiency in spite of the variation of component and environment. The controller features include a protection for an open or broken lamps, and an open lamp regulation.

본 논문에서는 콤팩트 형광램프용 Dimming형 전자식 안정기의 설계에 있어서, 인버터 공진탱크의 커패시턴스값을 변화시킬 때 전압이득곡선을 분석하여 최적의 회로정수를 결정하는 방법을 제안하였다. 또한 하프브리지 인버터회로의 회로정수에 대한 PSpice 시뮬레이션을 행하여 램프전압과 전류값을 구하였고, 실제 전자식 안정기를 제가하고 시동특성과 조광특성을 비교분석하였다. 시동특성은 일반 전자식 안정기와 거의 동일하였으며, 조광특성은 전체 광출력의 5%까지 안정동작되어, 제안된 방법이 뛰어남을 확인하였다.
