View page
US Patent:
7940015, May 10, 2011
Filed:
Mar 1, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/714972
Inventors:
Venkatesh Chitta - Center Valley PA, US
Mark S. Taipale - Harleysville PA, US
Jonathan Robert Quayle - Bethlehem PA, US
Thomas R. Hinds - Bethlehem PA, US
Assignee:
Lutron Electronics Co., Inc. - Coopersburg PA
International Classification:
G05F 1/00
US Classification:
315309, 315307, 315291, 315360, 315118, 315209 R
Abstract:
The output current of a ballast is dynamically limited when an over-temperature condition is detected in the ballast according to one of (i) a step function or (ii) a combination of step and continuous functions, so as to reduce the temperature of the ballast while continuing to operate it.

Method Of Controlling An Operating Frequency Of An Electronic Dimming Ballast

US Patent:
8384297, Feb 26, 2013
Filed:
Aug 18, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/858662
Inventors:
Jonathan Robert Quayle - Bethlehem PA, US
Venkatesh Chitta - Center Valley PA, US
Assignee:
Lutron Electronics Co., Inc. - Coopersburg PA
International Classification:
H05B 41/36
US Classification:
315224, 324414
Abstract:
An electronic ballast for driving a gas discharge lamp comprises an inverter circuit, a resonant tank circuit, and a control circuit operable to determine an approximation of a resonant frequency of the resonant tank circuit and to control the inverter circuit in response to the approximation of the resonant frequency. The control circuit determines the approximation of the resonant frequency by adjusting an operating frequency of a high-frequency inverter output voltage provided to the resonant tank circuit from a frequency above the resonant frequency down towards the resonant frequency, measuring the magnitude of a lamp voltage across the lamp, and storing the present value of the operating frequency as the resonant frequency when the magnitude of the lamp voltage reaches a maximum value. The control circuit may control the operating frequency of the inverter output voltage in response to the approximation of the resonant frequency and a target intensity of the lamp.

US Patent:
8629624, Jan 14, 2014
Filed:
Aug 18, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/212556
Inventors:
Venkatesh Chitta - Center Valley PA, US
Jonathan Robert Quayle - Bethlehem PA, US
Alexander J. Rovnan - Lancaster PA, US
Mark S. Taipale - Harleysville PA, US
Dragan Veskovic - Allentown PA, US
Assignee:
Lutron Electronics Co., Inc. - Coopersburg PA
International Classification:
H05B 37/02
H05B 39/04
H05B 41/36
H05B 37/00
H05B 39/00
H05B 41/14
H05B 41/16
H05B 41/24
H05B 41/00
US Classification:
315210, 315201, 315246, 315312
Abstract:
A load control device, such as an electronic ballast, for controlling the power delivered from an AC power source to an electrical load, such as one or more fluorescent lamps, comprises a power converter having an inductor and a power switching device coupled to the inductor, a load control circuit adapted to be coupled to the electrical load, and a control circuit operable to calculate an average input power of the load control device. The control circuit may be operable to calculate a cumulative output power of the power converter while the ballast is preheating filaments of the lamps, and to subsequently determine a fault condition in the lamps in response to the calculated cumulative output power of the power converter. Further, the control circuit may be operable to transmit a digital message including the calculated average input power of the load control device.

US Patent:
20060255751, Nov 16, 2006
Filed:
Jul 18, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/489145
Inventors:
Venkatesh Chitta - Center Valley PA, US
Mark Taipale - Harleysville PA, US
Jonathan Quayle - Bethlehem PA, US
Thomas Hinds - Bethlehem PA, US
Assignee:
LUTRON ELECTRONICS CO., INC. - COOPERSBURG PA
International Classification:
H05B 39/04
US Classification:
315309000
Abstract:
The output current of a ballast is dynamically limited when an over-temperature condition is detected in the ballast according to one of (i) a step function or (ii) a combination of step and continuous functions, so as to reduce the temperature of the ballast while continuing to operate it.

Method Of Controlling An Electronic Dimming Ballast During Low Temperature Conditions

US Patent:
20110241561, Oct 6, 2011
Filed:
Nov 30, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/955988
Inventors:
Venkatesh Chitta - Center Valley PA, US
Mehmet Ozbek - Allentown PA, US
Jonathan Robert Quayle - Bethlehem PA, US
Mark S. Taipale - Harleysville PA, US
Dragan Veskovic - Allentown PA, US
Assignee:
LUTRON ELECTRONICS CO., INC. - Coopersburg PA
International Classification:
H05B 41/16
US Classification:
315287
Abstract:
An electronic ballast circuit for driving a gas discharge lamp is operable to control the lamp to avoid flicking and flashing of the intensity of the lamp during low temperature conditions. The ballast circuit includes an inverter circuit for receiving a DC bus voltage and for generating a high-frequency output voltage, a resonant tank circuit for receiving the high-frequency output voltage and generating a sinusoidal voltage for driving said lamp, and a control circuit operatively coupled to the inverter circuit for adjusting an intensity of the lamp between a minimum intensity and a maximum intensity. The control circuit receives a control signal representative of a lamp temperature of the lamp, and increases the minimum intensity of the lamp if the lamp temperature of the lamp drops below a cold temperature threshold. In addition, the ballast circuit may also include a temperature sensing circuit operable to generate the control signal representative of the lamp temperature of the lamp.

Control Device Having Buttons With Automatically Adjustable Backlighting

US Patent:
20190174598, Jun 6, 2019
Filed:
Feb 8, 2019
Appl. No.:
16/271463
Inventors:
- Coopersburg PA, US
Matthew Philip McDonald - Phoenixville PA, US
Jason C. Killo - Emmaus PA, US
Jonathan Robert Quayle - Bethlehem PA, US
Assignee:
Lutron Electronics Co., Inc. - Coopersburg PA
International Classification:
H05B 33/08
H01H 13/83
H05B 37/02
Abstract:
A control device may comprise a plurality of buttons, a plurality of light sources located behind the respective buttons and configured to illuminate the buttons, a light detector circuit configured to measure an ambient light level around the control device, and/or a control circuit configured to control the light sources to adjust surface illumination intensities of the respective buttons in response to the measured ambient light level. Each button may comprise indicia indicating a function of the button. The control circuit set the first button as active and the second button as inactive in response to an actuation of the first button. The control circuit may, based on the measured ambient light level, control the light sources to illuminate the first button to an active surface illumination intensity, and to illuminate the second button to an inactive surface illumination intensity that is less than the active surface illumination intensity.
