Latest Patents
Shah's latest patents include an "End-of-life protection circuit and method for high intensity discharge lamp ballast." This invention provides an apparatus and method for detecting an end-of-life (EOL) condition of a lamp that exhibits a re-ignition behavior. The method involves applying a voltage to the lamp to initiate light emission and monitoring the voltage difference between the lamp re-ignition voltage and normal lamp voltage after a mask-off period. The lamp is determined to have reached the EOL condition when a predetermined percentage of high difference half cycles occur during a set number of lamp voltage half cycles measured in a rolling window.
Another significant patent by Shah is also titled "End-of-life protection circuit and method for high intensity discharge lamp ballast." This invention focuses on igniting and operating a HID lamp during its service life and powering it down when an EOL condition is detected. The method defines a series of thresholds for lamp voltage asymmetry and continuously monitors the lamp voltage to ensure safe operation.
