Unit 20 looking to fill vacancy on board
LAWRENCEVILLE - After 13 years on the Unit 20 school board, Mary K. Benefiel tendered her resignation via a letter read at Wednesday's monthly meeting in the Parkside Elementary School community room.
The resignation creates an opening on the seven-person board that must be filled quickly.
Superintendent Doug Daugherty praised Benefiel and explained the process of finding a replacement.
"She's been a great asset to the board and the community. She and her husband are moving to Champaign, so she'll be leaving the board," Daugherty said, noting that the position will be posted in the Daily Record, asking for applications from anybody from District 4 to apply.

Quinn urges residents to use warming centers
CHICAGO - Governor Pat Quinn is urging people across Illinois to take advantage of the state's warming centers as temperatures across the state continue to fall.
The state has opened more than 100 warming centers across Illinois to provide shelter from the bitter cold. The warming centers are located at Illinois Department of Human Services (IDHS) offices throughout the state.
In Lawrence County, the Department of Human Services building is located along the U.S. Route 50 frontage road, on the south side, just west of Lawrenceville. There are also Department of Human Services buildings in nearby Mount Carmel, Olney and Robinson.

BGS students fighting hunger with food drive
BRIDGEPORT - If it's up to the children at Bridgeport Grade School, nobody would go hungry this holiday season.
Nor would a pet.
The students, who range from pre-kindergarten though third grade, have been participating in a food drive which started last month and ends Friday.
As of Monday, more than 1,700 food items and more than 1,200 pounds of pet food had been collected.
The pet food will be given to the Lawrence County Humane Society. The food will be delivered to White House Christian Church and New Hope Christian Church, who will take care of the distribution.
Jennifer Schneider, a long-time physical education teacher at the school, says it's the most pet food the drive has ever raised.
"We've never had this much pet food to take to the humane society," she said. "The kids are really excited because they wanted the pets to have food, too. They kept saying, 'We need to feed the pets.'"
Prizes are involved, which makes it even more fun. Any class that brings in 300 cans or more gets to play a dodgeball game against the teachers, some time between Thanksgiving and Christmas. All students who were responsible for 30 cans of food or more receive a Popsicle.
The top prize, awarded to the class responsible for the most donations, will get to enjoy an ice cream sundae party.
School officials say it's not to late for the public to help out. Anyone who'd like to donate can drop items off at the school office through Friday.

ISP to conduct seat belt patrols in Lawrence County
EFFINGHAM - Illinois State Police (ISP) District 12 will conduct Occupant Restraint Enforcement Patrols (OREP) in Lawrence, Marion and Richland Counties during November.
OREP allows the ISP to target an area with saturation patrols that focus on traffic violations and related compliance with safety belt and child safety seat laws. Safety belt enforcement zones will also be set up to ensure the driver and passengers are buckled up. Illinois law requires all vehicle passengers (front and back) to be buckled up.

Owning a book IS a big deal
LAWRENCEVILLE - Suzanne Jordan's belief is that students should be able to read any time they want.
To that end the Reading Specialist at Parkside Elementary has gone the extra mile to ensure that all students in the school will have a book of their own.
Through the Illinois Reading Council and the Illinois READS program - which encourages Illinoisans to read books by Illinois authors - and thanks in part to a grant from the Community Unit School District #20 Academic Foundation-Ed Loeb Special Projects Grant - each student at the school went home with a paperback book on Thursday.

Del-Jen Education & Training Group, of Phoenix, Arizona, protests the determination by the Department of Labor (DOL) not to exclude Res-Care, Inc., of Louisville, Kentucky, from the competition under solicitation No. DOLJ09UA00025, for establishment and operation of the Pinellas Job Corps Center in St. Petersburg, Florida. Del-Jen essentially asserts that Res-Care had an unfair competitive advantage by virtue of its being permitted to continue performing the contract initially awarded it under the solicitation, while the agency prepared to implement corrective action following a protest challenging the award of that contract. It asserts that Res-Care should be excluded from the reopened competition.
We deny the protest.

Violight Cell Phone Sanitizer Uses UV Light To Get Clean
How dirty is your cell phone? Probably, absolutely filthy. Violight, who has been cleaning toothbrushes and other bacteria infested items for sometime now, has plans for new UV sanitizing product that is large enough to fit your cell phone. Just jam it into it's confines, hit a button and using the magic of UV light it safely sanitizes your handset. Good, because sprays are never a good idea with electronics, especially when they might lead to a voided warranty.
The Violight UV Cell Phone sanitizer will ship this October for $50.

The Philadelphia Inquirer
Last month, researchers at McGill University in Canada reconfirmed what we'll call the porn paradox: When hooked up to instruments measuring sexual arousal, men and women reacted with equal speed when watching pornographic films.
This raises several questions, including why women are so much less likely than men to consider viewing porn a valuable use of our time. But the type of material used in the study also raises broader questions about the effects of porn on both sexes.
Irv Binik, who led the research, said he used special sex films borrowed from the Kinsey Institute in Indiana. One was predetermined to be arousing to men, another to women, though Binik says they both looked the same to him. Both showed heterosexual couplings.
Why do any of us find it arousing to watch films of other people having sex? These people are obviously busy. They're not inviting you to join them.
For men at least, British zoologist Robin Baker has an interesting hypothesis: The pornography industry owes its billions to an ancient animal instinct still seen in rats and monkeys: If a male of one of those species runs across a pair mating, the onlooker will not only become aroused at the sight but will move sperm into the urethra. Which means, as Baker puts it, "he's loaded and ready to fire."
In the evolutionary game, such a reaction could prove advantageous if you're tough enough to force the other male off and take over, or sneaky enough to wait till he leaves and move in while the female is still in the mood.
Humans tend to have sex in private, so such opportunities don't present themselves often, but the instinct could remain with us to be exploited by pornographers.
Harvard professor Stephen Pinker offers that some male birds will try to mate with anything resembling a female of the species — a stuffed female or even just the head of a stuffed female.
"The sight of a fertile member of the opposite sex would normally correlate with an opportunity to make babies," he said. Porn fools your body into reacting instinctively as if the images were real.
Pinker goes on to say men's taste for pornography goes directly to one of the most salient behavior differences between men and women: Men are much more likely to have sex with a total stranger. And assuming you don't have many friends who are porn stars, porn shows you images of strangers who haven't even so much as bought you dinner.
So what's going on with the women in this McGill study?
Binik, the study's author, said he didn't actually show that women like pornography — just that their bodies react to it. He launched this study as part of a wider investigation into why some women experience chronic pain during intercourse. Arousal problems can be a factor.
In the past, measuring arousal involved various probes and meters that many people found intimidating. So he tried an instrument called a thermograph that uses a version of remote sensing to measure blood flow through the body. You still have to take off your clothes, he said, but the machine doesn't actually touch anything.
For him, the most important result of the study was that the instrument worked. Others before him had seen the same effect, he says, and he doubts the prospect that women secretly like pornography as much as men do.
"In women, you get a lot of disagreement between what the body is saying and what the mind is saying," he said.
All of which goes to show that, at least for women, arousal doesn't necessarily imply desire.

More Credits (130)
It was the series that brought a bit of Bond into the American living room. The Man from U.N.C.L.E. was the hip spy show long before Jennifer Garner put on a wig or Chuck got embedded. Napoleon Solo (Robert Vaughn) and his mop-topped Russian compadre, Illya Kuryakin (David McCallum), beat up villains, heated up vixens and captured a nation of crazed teenage fans in the swinging '60s. But the series would go out on a fizzle rather than a bang as its fourth season ended early due to lackluster scripts and changing times (it was replaced in the lineup by Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In). There was one TV reunion movie that gained high ratings, but no sequel. Today both actors enjoy ongoing success: Vaughn in his AMC series Hustle and McCallum with NCIS.

Question: What did the B.A. in B.A. Baracus, aka Mr. T, stand for?
Answer: Officially, the A-Team master mechanic's initials stood for "bad attitude," but most fans hold to the belief that they were really for "bad ass." Depending on which day you caught him, either could be accurate. If you'd asked any of the show's producers or the reporters who interviewed the mercurial star at a bad time, however, my guess is the consensus would lean toward the former.
The first time TV Guide sent a reporter to spend six days on the set of the hit action show, which ran on NBC from January 1983 to June 1987, the writer was stonewalled by T's equally formidable brothers, who explained that an interview wouldn't happen unless it was a matter of life or death. Asked if another time was more appropriate, perhaps lunchtime or later in the afte

Question: I always loved The Man from U.N.C.L.E. as a kid, especially David McCallum's Illya Kuryakin. I've just recently become a big fan of NCIS and am trying to remember: What were the numbers that Napoleon Solo and Ilya went by?
Answer: Ah, an easy and short one. Man from U.N.C.L.E.'s Solo (Robert Vaughn) almost always sported an 11 on his badge, while Kuryakin's bore the number 2.
Question: It seems like every other movie I see advertised is based on a TV show, like The Dukes of Hazzard. But what about the other way around? I know there was a series based on My Big Fat Greek Wedding, but what other TV series have been based on a movie, and were any of them good?
Answer: There have been a handful of top-notch TV shows based on movies. The flop Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1992) was revived as Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1997-2003); Robert Altman's acerbic M*A*S*H* (1970) became the long-running M*A*S*H (1972-1983); Neil Simon

Question: Who was that gorgeous Russian actor in The Man from U.N.C.L.E.? Not Napoleon, the other man. Thanks, hon.
Answer: You're quite welcome, hon. And let me point out that while Russian U.N.C.L.E. agent Ilya Kuryakin, was played by Scottish actor David McCallum, the actor would most likely accept "gorgeous" over some of the other adjectives love-struck women came up with at the time.
Take, for example, the word "cute," a favorite of fan magazines during the tongue-in-cheek spy series' 1964-68 run on NBC. "That's an American word I hate," McCallum, who played opposite Robert Vaughn's American agent, Napoleon Solo, told TV Guide in 1966. "A litter of mongrel puppies is cute."
Of course, the actor didn't have much say over how his female fans — and there were a lot of them — treated him and neith

Under an agreement with the Canaveral Council of Technical Societies (CCTS), Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University has gained access to a unique archive of over 1,000 space-focused technical papers from more than 40 years of annual Florida Space Congress conferences dating back to 1966.
The Hunt Library at Embry-Riddle's Daytona Beach Campus will digitize and catalog the materials for access by students and faculty at the university's residential campuses in Florida and Arizona as well as the Worldwide Campus, which encompasses online degree programs and more than 150 classroom locations around the globe. The general public can request printed versions of the papers through interlibrary loan or in person at the library.
CCTS, an association of engineering, technical and scientific societies with chapters on Florida's Space Coast, sponsored the Space Congress events to promote the exchange of space-related scientific and technical information. During the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s, these annual events were the nation's premier space conferences, attracting thousands of industry, government and university peer-reviewed papers.
After a long hiatus, CCTS sponsored the 42nd Space Congress in 2012 and plans to continue organizing the events and adding their technical papers to the archive at Embry-Riddle. The archive had been in storage at the CCTS offices in Cocoa Beach, with limited availability to non-CCTS members. One of the CCTS member organizations, a Florida chapter of the National Space Society, requested on behalf of Embry-Riddle that the archive be transferred to the university to serve as a resource for student and faculty research.

A high-frequency fluorescent lamp (10) that is energized by an electronic high-frequency ballast (50). The two ends of the lamp are hermetically sealed by a set of base assemblies (14). Each assembly consists of an end cap (16) and a non-thermionic, high-frequency radiating element (18) that includes an integral input power pin (20). The radiating elements function as cathode/antennas that operate within a pressurized noble gas environment without the need for mercury. Since there is no mercury to vaporize nor any thermionic emission, the lamps, upon the application of power, start immediately to emit a high-frequency signal. This signal directly bombards and excites the lamps phosphor coating which causes the phosphor to fluoresce and emit visible light.
1. A high-frequency fluorescent lamp comprising:
a) a clear hollow tube having its inside surface coated with a fluorescing material,
b) an end cap configured and sized to fit on the end of said tube with said cap having a pin bore therethrough,

d) means for evacuating and hermetically encapsulating within said tube an optimum quantity of pressurized ionizable gas that is free of the element mercury, and
e) means to ionize said gas and cause a high-frequency electron emission from said radiating element to strike and excite said fluorescent material to cause said lamp to fluoresce and emit visible light.
2. The high-frequency fluorescent lamp as specified in claim 1 where said fluorescent material is comprised of a phosphor that can be blended with other elements to produce a "warmer" light output.

b) a conductive high-frequency radiating element attached to each inside end of said structure with each of said elements having an input power pin extending from its back surface where the pin is hermetically fitted into and extends outwards from a pin bore located on the respective end of said structure,
c) means for evacuating and hermetically encapsulating within said structure an optimum quantity of pressurized ionizable gas that is free of the element mercury, and
d) means to ionize said gas and cause a high-frequency electron emission from said radiating element to strike and excite said fluorescent material to cause said lamp to fluoresce and emit visible light.
5. The high-frequency fluorescent lamp as specified in claim 4 where said fluorescent material is comprised of a phosphor that can be blended with other elements to produce a "warmer" light output.
6. The high-frequency fluorescent lamp as specified in claim 4 wherein said means to ionize said gas is accomplished by applying across said power input pin a high frequency signal.
This application is a continuation of application Ser. No. 07/222,707 filed 03/01/88, now abandoned.
The invention pertains to the general field of electric discharge lamps such as fluorescent lamps and more particularly to a fluorescent lamp that incorporates a set of non-thermionic radiating elements that function as cathodes/antennas in a ionized gas environment to radiate a high-frequency electron stream that directly excites the lamps phosphor coating to produce a visible light.
Most fluorescent lamps in use today are electric discharge lamps, that are usually in the form of a long glass tube coated internally with one or more fluorescent powders, commonly called phosphors. Electrodes are located at each end of the tube that are made with iron, nickel or tungsten, and which are commonly coated with an electron-emissive material. The tube is evacuated and filled at a certain pressure with a noble gas, which is usually argon, neon, krypton or xenon. In addition, there is also inserted in the tube a small drop of mercury which vaporizes during operation of the tube.
In the operation of a fluorescent lamp, an electrical discharge passing from the electrode at one end of the tube to the electrode at the other end, through the noble gas and the mercury vapor, generates ultraviolet radiation. The radiation, in turn, excites the phosphor coating on the wall of the tube to emit visible light.
The phosphors in general use have the characteristic that, when they are excited by ultraviolet radiation of about 253.7 millimicrons wavelength, they will emit visible light. In current designs, the mercury vapor performs the function of converting the energy in an electron discharge into electromagnetic photons of the proper wavelength for exciting the tube phosphor.
The basic lighting mechanism of fluorescent lamp performance is that free electrons emitted from the more negative electrode in the tube collide with the valence electrons of the luminescent gas--in the prior art, mercury vapor. The collision of the discharge electrons with the valence electrons excites the latter by imparting to them part of the kinetic energy of the former, thus raising the valence electrons out of their normal energy level to a level of higher energy. When such an excited electron returns to its equilibrium valence band, part of the excess energy is discarded as surplus, once it returns to its low energy state, is emitted as a lower energy photon.
The predominant measure of efficiency of fluorescent lamp performance is a parameter called "efficacy", which is the ratio of luminous flux output (lumens) to total power input (watts). The highest efficacy theoretically attainable is 680 lumens per watt, which is the output that would be obtained if all the input power were converted to green light at a 555 millimicrons wavelength, the light wavelength to which the human eye is most sensitive. The maximum theoretical efficacy of any light source producing white light with its entire output distributed uniformly with respect to wavelength within the visible region is only 200 lumens per watt. Thus, it can be seen that by concentrating the output wavelength of any light source near the 555 millimicron point, efficacy can be improved beyond that possible with white light. The efficacy of present-day fluorescent lamps is about 55 to 65 lumens per watt.
One of the predominant problems and sources of expense and weight in present-day fluorescent lamps is the necessity for a starting circuit. A fluorescent lamp has a negative resistance characteristics; that is the resistance across the lamp decreases once current begins to flow through the gas in the tube. Moreover, in order to initiate current flow, a much higher voltage must be imposed across the tube than can be used once the tube is operating normally. Thus, present fluorescent lamps must be started by an especially high voltage generated by capacitor storage or some other transient method. Once they have started, they have to operate with some sort of current controls, such as a ballast.
In the course of starting a fluorescent lamp, a high voltage ranging up to 1000 volts may be used to force electron emission from the electrodes into the tube. This type of electron flow will be maintained until the gases in the tube are ionized to sustain the flow with lower voltage. It is the violence of such starting methods on the electrodes and end fittings of the tubes that limits the useful service life of the lamps. In particular, the oxide coating on the electrodes "sputters" during starting, causing the characteristic blackening at the end of the tube and reducing the amount of electron-emissive material on the electrode that is needed to perform the function of providing electron flow in the tube. Not only does the sputtering cut down on the service life of the lamps; it is also the major factor in the lumen maintenance ability of the tube. That is, the capability of the tube to maintain the same output of lumens per watt input throughout its life that it had at some reference time after its service began.
Another disadvantage in present fluorescent lamps is the narrow ambient temperature range in which the lamp can operate. A mercury vapor fluorescent lamp reaches its maximum efficiacy at 77� F., above that point the efficacy falls off about 10 percent for each 20� F. increase, due to the increasing ionization of the mercury vapor molecules, thus precluding ionization due to electron bombardment. As ambient temperature declines from 77� F., the fall-off in efficiency is even more extreme because the mercury droplets present in the tube will not vaporize at all.
Other disadvantages associated with present-day mercury vapor fluorescent lamps include:
the high end losses and inefficiency of the presently used electrodes,
the RFI problem created by the ionization of mercury and its resulting electromagnetic radiation and RFI power line coupling, both of which are capable of creating a buzz in radios that are located in the vicinity of the fluorescent lamp. Although the radiation of RFI can be suppressed somewhat by the use of heavy shielding, the conduction of RFI noise signals back from the electrodes of the fluorescent tube can be prevented only by the use of noise decoupling filters, either in connection with the tube or in connection with the radio sets nearby, and,
since mercury is a known poison and an untold quantity of defective lamps are destroyed and dumped in waste areas. The mercury ends-up as pollution that can poison our water tables.
A search of the prior art did not disclose any patents that read directly on the claims of the instant invention however, the following U.S. Pat. Nos. were considered related:
______________________________________U.S. PAT. NO. INVENTOR ISSUED______________________________________59-121750 (Japan) Shinto et al 13 July 19844,272,703 Eckberg 15 June 19793,536,945 Skirvin 27 October 19703,189,777 Hoeh 15 June 19652,961,565 Lemmers 22 November 1960______________________________________
The Shinto patent discloses a cold negative ion electric discharge lamp. The lamp consists of a light permeable outer container which has electric discharge electrodes on both ends and contains mercury and a gaseous body for providing an electric discharge boost. The discharge electrodes consists of a composite metal of lanthanum and nickel or its pulverulent body.
The Eckberg patent discloses a lamp that includes a group of columns positioned within the lamp envelope. Each column has an electron emissive cathode mounted therein connected to a cathode lead-wire. An anode member connected to an anode lead-wire extends to the upper portions of each column. A conductive starter member is mounted within each column to provide a gap between one of its ends and the cathode. A second gap is located between the other of its ends and the associated anode extension. The anode and cathode are energized by a d-c voltage.
The Skirvin patent discloses a luminescent gas tube which includes a mixture of selected gases that operate at resonance which results in a lower power consumption and an enhancement in the luminescence of the tube. There is also disclosed a new type of electrode that has a ball shape with an electron-emission section composed of boroncarbide. The ball electrode produces a high electron emission rate for a given unit of power.
The Hoeh patent discloses a fluorescent lamp that keeps the sputtering of the electrode and the resultant end blackening of the lamp to a minimum. This result is achieved by fabricating the electrodes from a martenistic type stainless steel which is more sputter-resistant than conventional types made from nickel or ferritic stainless steel.
The Lemmers patent discloses a low-pressure discharge lamp wherein the ratio of perimeter to area of the cross section (p/a) is substantially greater than in circular-sectioned lamps of the same perimeter.
By increasing the p/a ratio there is either an improved efficiency at a given wattage per unit length of lamp, or higher wattage loading per unit length for the same efficiency. The ratio increase is achieved by flattening a round tube to an oval or loop-like cross section.
The high-frequency fluorescent lamp is designed to operate with a set of simplified electrodes, hereinafter referred to as a high-frequency radiating elements, within a non-mercury ionized gas environment. When the elements are energized by an electronic high-frequency generator, it emits a stream of high-frequency electrons that directly bombard and excite the lamps phosphor coating to produce visible light.
The inventive lamp eliminates the major problems inherent in currently available fluorescent lamps by having a design that eliminates the conventional two-power level ballast, the need for mercury, and for thermionic emission electrodes. Because there is no mercury used, the attendant problems caused by the mercury, as described in the BACKGROUND ART, are eliminated.
The simplified construction and structural elements employed in the invention lend themselves to allowing lamps of various geometries and sized to be easily manufactured with an increase in lumen efficiency. The radiating elements can also be configured and selected in the most efficient shape that best suits the envelope configuration of the lamp.
By using the radiating elements, in lieu of conventional thermionic electrodes, the useful operating life of the lamp is greatly increased. The life of conventional fluorescent lamps is governed by the rate loss of the electrons emitted by the electrodes. When these electrons are emitted, the emissive coating on the electrode is eroded. Erosion is especially high during the lamps initial start-up when a high current is required. Since the inventive lamp uses no such filament electrodes there is considerably less erosion to reduce the lamps useful operating life. Additionally, studies in vacuum tubes has shown that by increasing the electron emitting area of the cathode, the tube life can be increased from 1000 hours to up to 50,000 hours. Although, this areas increase is impractical in current electrode designs, it is easily accomplished in the instant design.
In operation, the radiating elements function as cathode/antennas where the emitted high-frequency electrons are transported by the ionized gas to the lamps phosphor coating. Since no heat, or at worse very little heat, is generated during this electron transfer phase, the lamps remain cool and are not affected by the outside ambient temperatures, whether those temperatures be hot or cold. Conventional lamps are especially difficult to start during cold weather.
In view of the above disclosures, it is the primary object of the invention to provide a new fluorescent lamp that increases the efficacy and efficiency of the lamp in terms of more light per input power. This increase is achieved by a lamp design that employs a set of cold running, high-frequency radiating elements that operate, within a single or combination gas environment to produce light when the electrons emitted by the radiating element strike and excite the phosphor in the tube.
It is also an object of the invention to produce a lamp that:
maintains a constant lumen output over an extended useful operating life,
does not require high start-up currents,
operates over a wide range of ambient temperatures,
is less costly to manufacture due to the elimination of the mercury and the simplified construction of the radiating elements, and
can be manufactured in a variety of geometric shapes.
These and other objects and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the subsequent detailed description of the preferred and second embodiment and the claims taken in conjuction with the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 8 is a perspective view of a radiating element comprised of an element comprised of a disk-like structure having a star configuration with a plurality of stars.
FIG. 9 is a perspective view of a radiating element comprised of a plurality of plates where the inward side of each plate terminates at the center about the power input pin.
FIG. 10 is a perspective view of the second embodiment of the high-frequency fluorescent lamp which include a cutaway view showing the placement of the radiating elements.
FIG. 11 is a schematic shown the lamp connected to an electronic high-frequency ballast.
The best mode for carrying out the invention is presented in terms of a preferred embodiment and a second embodiment. Both embodiments of the high-frequency fluorescent lamp 10 are designed to be energized by an electronic high-frequency generator 60 with an output between 10 KHz and 50 KHz. The inside surface of the lamp 10 is coated with a rare-earth phosphor that is directly excited by electrons emitted by a cold operating high-frequency radiating element that is energized by the high-frequency generator. Additionally, the instant lamp 10 does not require hot filaments or mercury to operate. Therefore, it runs cool, is not affected by extreme ambient temperatures and has a much greater useful life than conventional fluorescent lamps.
The preferred embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 1 through 9 is comprised of the following five major elements: a clear hollow tube 12, a base assembly 14 consisting of an end cap 16, and a conductive high-frequency radiating element 18 having a front radiating surface 18a with a power input pin 20 extending from the back.
The first embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, employs a clear hollow tube 12 that is round and constructed of glass. Although glass is preferred, a clear plastic such as an acrylic may also be used to construct the tube. The inside surface of the tube 12 is conventionally coated with a fluorescent powder 22 such as a rare-earth phosphor. The phosphor may also be blended with other elements to produce a "warmer" light output when the fluorescent powder is excited.
Hermetically attached to each end of the tube 12 is the base assembly 14 that consists of the end cap 16, the conductive high-frequency radiating element 18 and the power input pin 20. The end cap 16 is configured and sized to fit on the end of the tube 12 and includes a pin bore 16a that extends through the center of the cap. Since there are two tube openings two base assemblies are required.
The conductive high-frequency radiating element 18 is constructed with a front radiating surface 18a, a back surface 18b and an integral power pin 20 that extends from the elements back surface.
The radiating element has a radiating surface diameter that is selected so that there is approximately a 1 mm gap between the diameter of the radiating surface and the inside diameter of the tube 12.
In the design of the lamp 10, it was found that the 1 mm gap provides sufficient room for manufacturing tolerances and sufficient radiating surface to allow the radiating element to provide optimum radiation.
The power input pin 20 has a diameter that allows the pin to slide into the pin bore 16a and to extend outwardly from the outside surface of the end cap 16. In the preferred design only one pin is shown or required. However, the radiating element 18 can also be configured with two power pins in parallel. The dual pin configuration (not shown) allows the lamp to be inserted into the two-pin sockets which are currently in use. Thus, by changing the conventional ballast with an electronic high-frequency generator, the instant lamps, with the two-pins, can be directly used with the existing fluorescent light fixtures.
After the interfacing area between the pin and pin bore is hermetically sealed the entire base assembly 14 is hermetically attached to the end of the tube 12 as best shown in FIG. 2. Likewise, an identical assembly is attached to the other end of the tube. In the preferred embodiment, the end cap 16 is made with an outwardly extending circumferential lip 16b that allows the cap to fit over the outside surface of the tube 12 to add additional structural integrity. Before the end caps are attached, the tube 14 is evacuated and filled with an optimum quantity of pressurized ionizable noble gas 50. The gas normally used is argon. However, other noble gases such as neon, krypton or xenon are also employed. A mixture of these ionizable gases may also be used to achieve different color outputs and lumen intensities. The method and equipment used to evacuate and fill the tube with the gases is well known in the art and is therefore not described.
The configuration of the tube 12 is not limited to a straight tube. As shown in FIG. 3, the tube may be manufactured of a contiguous multi-curved section 24. Although a triple-bend tube is shown, various configuration may be employed with equal results.
As shown in FIGS. 4-9, the conductive high-frequency radiating element 18 may be configured in the following shapes:
FIG. 4 discloses an element 28 comprised of a structure having a front flat radiating surface 28a and a back conic section 28b.
FIG. 5 discloses an element 30 comprised of a disk-like structure having a front convex radiating surface 30a and a flat back section 30b.
FIG. 6 disclose an element 32 comprised of a frontal concave structure 32a that has a plurality of bores 32b therethrough.
FIG. 7 discloses an element 34 comprised of a disk-like structure 34a having a front radiating surface 34b with a plurality of convex bumps 34c.
FIG. 8 discloses an element 36 comprised of a disk-like structure 36a having a star configuration with a plurality of stars 36b.
FIG. 9 discloses an element 38 comprised of a plurality of plates 38a where the inward side 38b of each plate terminates at the center about the power input pin 20.
In all of the above designs, the radiating element is constructed of a conductive (non-insulating) material. Although a metal, such as copper or steel is preferred, a conductive ceramic or plastic material may also be used.
The second embodiment, as shown in FIG. 10, employs a rectangular clear hollow structure 40 that has its inside wall surface coated with a fluorescent powder 22 as described in the preferred embodiment. On one of the inside walls is attached, by an adhesive, a conductive high-frequency radiating element 18 and on the opposite wall of the structure 40 is attached a similar second element 18. The structure has a pin bore 40a centered on each of the element attaching walls that allows the power input pin 20 extending from the back of the elements 18 to be hermetically fitted so that the pin extends outwardly from the wall.
As with the first embodiment, the inside of the structure is evacuated and filled with an optimum quantity of pressurized ionizable gas.
Both embodiments of the high-frequency lamp 10 are operated by connecting the two single power pins 20 to an electronic high-frequency generator 60 as shown in FIG. 11. Since in the instant design there is no requirements for a thermionic emission or mercury vaporization, the lamps will start immediately upon the application of the high-frequency signal.
When operating, the radiating elements 18 function as cathode/antennas operating within the ionizable noble gas environment. When the high-frequency electrons travelling through the gas strike and excite the phosphor, the phosphor fluoresces and emits a visible light.
While the invention has been described in complete detail and pictorially shown in the accompanying drawings, it is not to be limited to such details, since many changes and modifications may be made in the invention without departing from the spirit and the scope thereof. For example, the invention can also be used to replace many of the so called High Intensity Discharge (HID) lamps. The HID lamps include lamps that use mercury vapor, metal halide and low and high pressure sodium. All of these lamps use mercury to produce the UV electrons that excite the lamps phosphor to produce light. The HID lamps, as well as other types of fluorescent lamps, such as circle line lamps, come equipped with a variety of power input pin configurations. Regardless of the pin quantity or size, the instant invention can be manufactured with an identical configuration to allow replacement. Hence, the invention is described to cover any and all modifications and forms which may come within the language and scope of the claims.
