Abstract: A conductive element and a lamp using the same are described. The conductive element includes a sleeve portion and a conductive portion, and the conductive element is applied to a lamp reflector. The lamp reflector has a main body and a neck portion connected to each other. The sleeve portion of the conductive element is installed in the neck portion, and then a discharge lamp tube through from the main body to the sleeve portion in the neck portion, and the conductive portion forms an included angle with the discharge lamp tube. Therefore, a length achieved after the discharge lamp tube and the lamp reflector are assembled together is shortened.

Abstract: Improved methods and apparatus for digital focal plane array (FPA)—based color imaging include the step of sampling an image, using an FPA camera equipped with a color filter array (CFA) to obtain a value at each pixel position, thereby creating a set of values sampled on a per-pixel basis. Single-color cyan, yellow and white (CYW) color planes are generated from the set of sampled pixel values. Interpolates among and between the color plane values is executed to “fill in” the “gaps” in the individual color planes, and the interpolated CYW values from the single-color planes are transformed into RGB values which can be stored, transmitted, or utilized to drive a conventional video monitor or color printing device. Filtering and other post-interpolation steps are executed to reduce color aliasing, and the white plane is used to introduce high frequency content back into the filtered color image.
