Abstract: A
full spectrum polarized lighting fixture for general
commercial, institutional,
and industrial
use, and for
use in offices with computer terminals and video display
terminals. The lighting fixture contains an electronic
solid state ballast, a polarizing lense, and a full spectrum
color corrected lamp. The lense is a polarized diffuser
to provide glare free light with excellent contrast.
The fixture contains a full spectrum color corrected
lamp to simulate daylight. The combination of the full
spectrum lamp and the polarized diffuser provides for
light with the spectral energy distribution characteristics
and light polarization of natural daylight.
Abstract: An improvement in a multi-layer polarized light control
panel comprising an ultraviolet transmitting acrylic
supporting structure. Prior art multi-layer polarized
light control panels are made with an ultraviolet absorbing
acrylic supporting sheet, which blocks most ultraviolet
light below 380 nanometers. Thus, the ultraviolet light
which is emitted by fluorescent lamps, and in particular
by specially formulated fluorescent lamps to provide
so called "full-spectrum" light, is blocked
by the prior art polarized light control panels. Use
of an ultraviolet transmitting acrylic supporting sheet
would permit the transmission of the ultraviolet light
emitted from the lamp through the acrylic supporting
sheet, which would then be polarized by the multi-layer
polarized light control panel. The light diffusing polarized
control panel can also be manufactured with an ultraviolet
transmitting acrylic, providing a multi-layer polarizer
of unsurpassed visual comfort probability. Transmission
of ultraviolet light through the multi-layer polarized
control panel would eliminate the glare from the ultraviolet
light, as well as the visible light. There is a significant
improvement of the apparent brightness of paper and textile
products when viewed under light sources equipped with
full-spectrum, as well as standard fluorescent lamps,
as virtually all paper materials and textiles have chemical
substances which fluoresce under ultraviolet light.
Abstract: A lamp, suitable for use as a headlight for land, water
and aircraft and motor vehicles in particular. The lamp
includes glass containing Neodymium Oxide, a rare earth
compound. The Neodymium Oxide filters out the naturally
occurring yellow light produced by a hot incandescent
filament, thereby producing a color-corrected light.
Yellow light contributes to a lack of contrast. Improvement
in contrast permits, for example, a motor vehicle driver
to better discriminate the contrast of objects when there
is no daylight and the only illumination is artificial.
For drivers, in particular, elimination of the excessive
yellow light lessens eyestrain currently resulting from
light emitted by the conventional headlights of oncoming
vehicles during hours of darkness. Lamps of increased
wattage than present can be used without increasing eyestrain
from opposing motor vehicles, which in turn leads to
better contrast, and thus improved night time visual
acuity, resulting from the increased amount of light
for a driver of a motor vehicle equipped with the herein
disclosed color corrected headlight.
Abstract: A rearview mirror suitable for use as a rearview mirror
for land, water and aircraft and motor vehicles in particular.
The glass mirror includes glass containing Neodymium
Oxide, a rare earth compound. The Neodymium Oxide filters
out the naturally occurring yellow light produced by
a hot incandescent filament, thereby producing a color-corrected
light. Yellow light contributes to a lack of contrast.
Improvement in contrast permits, for example, a motor
vehicle driver to better discriminate the contrast of
objects when there is no daylight and the only illumination
is artificial. For drivers, in particular, elimination
of the excessive yellow light lessens eyestrain currently
resulting from light emitted by the conventional headlights
of vehicles in the rearview mirror during hours of darkness.
Additionally, the Neodymium Oxide in the glass will filter
out the yellow light from the rising or setting sun in
the rearview mirror.
Abstract: A high intensity discharge lamp, suitable for use as
a headlight for land, rail, water, aircraft, and motor
vehicles in particular. The lamp includes glass containing
Neodymium Oxide, a rare earth compound. The Neodymium
Oxide filters out the yellow light portion of the spectrum,
thereby producing a color corrected light. Incorporation
of yellow light in the light spectrum desaturates colors
and reduces contrast. Improvement in contrast and a reduction
in glare permits, for example, a motor vehicle driver
to better discriminate the contrast of objects when there
is no daylight and the only illumination is artificial.
For drivers, in particular, elimination of the yellow
light lessens eye strain currently resulting from light
emitted by the conventional headlights of oncoming vehicles
during hours of darkness.
Abstract: A reduced glare window glass, suitable for use in glass
window, containing Neodymium Oxide, a rare earth compound.
The Neodymium Oxide filters out the yellow light of the
spectrum, thereby providing improved vision. Incorporation
of yellow light in the light spectrum desaturates colors
and reduces contrast. Improvement in contrast and a reduction
in glare permits, for example, one to use this window
glass in a building to reduce glare without the expense
of blinds or curtains that are normally used to reduce
glare. Additionally, the light transmittance is kept
high, as high as 61.81 percent with a Neodymium Oxide
doping of the glass in the amount of at least 0.0244
grams per square centimeter. This glass can be used for
multiple layers of glass in assembled glazing.
Abstract: Motor vehicle windshields and safety glazing material,
suitable for use as motor vehicle windshields and safety
glazing material for automobiles, trucks, buses, motorcycles,
locomotives. sport utility vehicles, all terrain vehicles,
and vans. The motor vehicle windshields and safety glazing
material contains Neodymium Oxide, a rare earth compound.
The Neodymium Oxide filters out the yellow portion of
the spectrum, reducing glare. Incorporation of yellow
light in the spectrum desaturates colors and reduces
contrast. Improvement in contrast and a reduction in
glare permits, for example, a motor vehicle driver to
better discriminate the contrast of objects when there
is no daylight and the only illumination is artificial.
For drivers, in particular, elimination of the yellow
light lessens eye strain currently resulting from light
emitted by the conventional headlights of oncoming vehicles
during hours of darkness. Neodymium Oxide can also be
added to safety glazing materials for use in bullet resistant
shields.
ABSTRACT: A magnetically shielded
fluorescent lamp ballast case for shielding human beings
from the negative effects of magnetic fields emanating
from a fluorescent lamp ballast is made of a ferromagnetic
alloy, or lined on the inside or the outside of the fluorescent
lamp ballast case with such foil alloys. The ferromagnetic
alloy for the magnetically shielded fluorescent lamp
ballast case is a soft magnetic material. The soft magnetic
material is a metal alloy containing one or more than
one of the following elements: iron, nickel, or cobalt.
The fluorescent lamp ballast case can be made of steel
or aluminum, and lined on the inside or the outside of
the ballast case with a ferromagnetic foil alloy which
is attached to the steel or aluminum by adhesive. The
magnetically shielded fluorescent lamp ballast case for
a fluorescent lamp ballast can be employed for core coil
fluorescent lamp ballasts or for electronic solid state
fluorescent lamp ballasts. There is a substantial attenuation
of the magnetic component of the electromagnetic field,
particularly of frequencies up to about 100 Kilohertz.
