Secondary treatment device (24) may be a lamp assembly (24) which includes a condensing element (84) to condense mercury in a bulb in the arc path between filaments (444). Maintaining the condensed mercury between filaments (444) serves to reduce the time needed for lamp assembly (24) to produce light emissions of a predetermined intensity upon subsequent energization as compared to allowing the mercury to condense outside the arc path. A reflector assembly (402) may be used in lamp assembly (24) to focus radiation upon conduits (80) carrying water therethrough and away from returning to a bulb assembly (82) from which the radiation was originally emitted. An outer enclosure or housing (400) surrounds the bulb and reflector assemblies (82, 402) such that lamp assembly (24) becomes a generally closed pressure vessel. Also, a light pipe (250) impregnated with a florescent dye may be used to convert UV light into visible light for ease of monitoring the light output intensity of lamp assembly (24). Light pipe (250) also serves as a filter to primarily emit light of a particular wavelength (green) while significantly inhibiting light transmission through light pipe (250) of other wavelengths.

Remote device identification using resonant frequency

A method for controlling an inductive power supply to supply power to a remote device includes inductively interrogating the remote device with at least one identification frequency which may be one of a plurality of identification frequencies and determining whether the remote device has a resonant frequency at the interrogating frequency. If the remote device does have such a resonant frequency the inductive power supply is operated to supply operating power inductively (wirelessly) to the identified remote device according to an operating parameter based on the outcome of the determination, the operating parameter corresponding to the identified remote device.

Wireless charging system with device power compliance

593720 Disclosed is a method of controlling an inductive charging system. The method includes placing a plurality of inductive secondary devices within the operating range of the primary power supply (486a) and determining the combined power requests of the secondary devices.

Lamp base for dual-leg lamp assembly

A lamp base for a dual-leg lamp is provided with at least one oversized leg mounting hole that permits relative movement of the lamp legs during temperature driven expansion and contraction. In one embodiment, only one leg of the lamp is glued to the lamp base. The absence of glue on one leg permits essentially free movement of the non-glued leg with respect to the base. In those embodiments that include only a single oversized leg mounting hole, the leg disposed within the oversized leg mounting hole is not glued so that the leg is free to move within the oversized hole. In those embodiments in which both leg mounting holes are oversized, it is acceptable for either (or both) of the legs to be non-glued.
