A discharge lamp ballast having a starting circuit including a second inductor connected between a first end of a discharge lamp and the positive voltage side of a first capacitor; a second capacitor forming a resonance circuit together with the second inductor; a second switching element connected between the positive terminal of a DC power source and the second end of the lamp; a third switching element connected between the second end of the lamp and the negative voltage side of the first capacitor; and a starting controller that controls both switching elements. The starting controller alternately turns both switching elements on and off so as to contribute resonance voltage of the resonance circuit for starting of the lamp in case of the starting mode.

A system for starting an internal combustion engine includes a battery system, a charger to receive DC battery power from the battery system and convert the power to a DC charging current, a supercapacitor array having a plurality of supercapacitor cells connected to the charger to receive the DC charging current therefrom, and a motor starter to start the internal combustion engine responsive to a DC input from the supercapacitor array. The charger modifies a voltage of the supercapacitor cells in an on-demand fashion, with the charger programmed to provide DC charging current to the supercapacitor array to hold the supercapacitor cells at a first voltage, receive a bump-up command indicative of an upcoming engine start and, responsive to receiving the bump-up command, provide DC charging current to the supercapacitor array to increase a voltage of the supercapacitor cells temporarily to a second voltage higher than the first voltage.

Circuit arrangement having a converter without a transformer but with an inductor for the pulsed operation of dielectric barrier discharge lampsThe circuit arrangement according to the invention comprises an inductor-type converter for the pulsed operation of dielectric barrier discharge lamps (EL). The invention proposes both a half bridge variant and a full bridge variant. By selecting the inductance value of the inductor (L), it is possible to influence the edge steepness of the pulses, in the case of more than one inductor even independently for the rising and falling edges.

[Problem] To provide a submersible power generator which can be moored stably underwater and which can achieve a high startup voltage without being enlarged. [Solution] A submersible power generator is provided with: an inner / outer dual-rotary armature power-generating mechanism having an outer rotary armature and an inner rotary armature that faces the outer rotary armature and rotates in the opposite direction from the outer rotary armature; and a set of propellers arranged with coinciding axes, the torsional direction of the blades relative to the extending direction of the axes being opposite of each other. One propeller in the set of propellers is linked to one rotary armature among the inner and outer rotary armatures, the other propeller is linked to the other rotary armature, a casing is provided for sealing the inner / outer dual-rotary armature power-generating mechanism off from the external environment, the submersible power generator operates in water currents while submerged, and the buoyancy force (F) acting on the submersible power generator during operation is greater than the gravitational force (W) acting on the submersible power generator (when the generator is moored using mooring lines, F > W + the gravitational force acting on the mooring lines - the buoyancy force acting on the mooring lines).
