Abstract: In embodiments of the present invention, data that is transmitted over a network that is utilized by cell phones within multiple automobiles may be used to calculate real-time traffic conditions, including but not limited to the time it will take to travel a certain distance using a given route. Real-time traffic conditions may be calculated by, for example, measuring real-time traffic density for a specific geographic region. Traffic conditions and traffic density may be calculated using parameters including, but not limited to, a time of day, a day of the week corresponding to the real-time calculation of the traffic condition measure, a weather condition corresponding to the real-time calculation of the traffic condition measure; or some other parameter relating to traffic conditions. This real-time traffic condition data may be manually accessed by a user from their cell phone or automatically provided to a user's cell phone.

Abstract: In embodiments of the present invention, a computer program may use GPS coordinates associated with cell phones located within multiple cars to measure real time traffic conditions. These traffic conditions may be measured based at least in part on using parameters including, but not limited to, a time of day, a day of the week, a weather condition, a road condition, or some other parameter relating to traffic conditions. The traffic conditions may be used to calculate a vehicle speed between two locations and predict related travel time. The real-time traffic condition information may be manually accessed by a user from their cell phone or automatically presented to a user's cell phone when the cell phone enters a specific geographic location or region.

Abstract: An embodiment of the present invention involves a location based service, method, and/or system. The service, method, and/or system may involve accessing an internet using a mobile communication facility; assessing a location of the mobile communication facility; requesting product information; and delivering the product information to the mobile communication facility, wherein the product information includes information relating to a location within a store where the product can be found.

Abstract: A metal halide lamp with high color rendering index, greater then 80, with substantially constant color temperature through life. The lamp arc discharge vessel has a small volume, i.e., less than 1 cc, and contains iodides of sodium, scandium, lithium, dysprosium, and thallium along with mercury, a buffer gas and scandium metal. The addition of the scandium metal does not raise the arc discharge vessel temperature and significantly reduces the color temperature decline during life.

Abstract: A mounting member for supporting a shroud, and an arc tube located within such shroud, in an arc discharge lamp is provided. The mounting member includes at least two support clips welded to at least one support rod on the same side of the support rod. A bubble-in-the-press arc lamp is provided having at least one press seal that includes opposite walls. A bubble portion is formed in one wall, and the other wall includes a protrusion. The bubble portion extends towards one wall and the protrusion extends towards the other wall to hold a support clip of a supporting member therebetween. An electric lamp assembly is provided that includes the mounting means and/or the bubble-in-the-press arc tube of the present invention.

Abstract: A starting aid for a metal halide discharge lamp. An arc discharge tube is positioned in a hermetically sealed jacket. The jacket contains a partial pressure (e.g., 400 torr nitrogen) of a gas that will aid in starting the discharge and one of the arc tube lead-ins has an electrical conductor affixed thereto and exposed to the partial pressure of the gas. An outer conductor extends on the outside of the jacket and is electrically connected to the other lead-in. When voltage is applied to the electrodes a capacitive coupling takes place between the inner conductor and the outer conductor which generates a discharge that causes a breakdown in the arc generating and sustaining medium within the arc tube and causes the lamp to start.

Abstract: A reflector lamp 10 has a vitreous outer envelope 12 formed of a concave reflector 14 and a light-transmitting 16 cover peripherally sealed thereto. The concave reflector and cover are symmetrically arrayed about a longitudinal axis 18 and a substantially cylindrical, hollow neck 20 having a given depth is affixed to the concave reflector opposite the cover. The neck 20 also is symmetrically arrayed about the longitudinal axis 18 and has a substantially closed bottom 21. At least two eyelets, 22, 24, respectively, are sealed in the bottom 21 and a light source capsule 26 is positioned in the concave reflector and aligned with the longitudinal axis 18. The light source capsule 26 has a first end 28 situated in the neck 20 and a second end 30 extending into the concave reflector. The light source capsule 26 comprises a quartz arc tube 32 containing an arc generating and sustaining medium and a surrounding aluminosilicate glass shroud 34.

Abstract: A mounting assembly for a reflector lamp. The mounting assembly comprises a 0.050" diameter stainless steel rod that has been formed into a three-turn spiral. The spiral surrounds the inner jacket mount assembly of the reflector lamp, and fits into the neck region of the reflector. The lower leg of the spiral either takes the place of, or augments a "dummy" lead presently used in the inner jacket press, so that one or both fit into the reflector eyelet opening in the neck of the reflector. The opposite end of the spiral piece extends upwardly, and is connected to the upper lead of the Model No. PAR30L inner jacket mount assembly of the Model No. MPD70 lamp.

Abstract: An arc tube comprises a light transmissive body containing an arc generating and sustaining medium and has a press seal formed at one end of said body. The press seal comprises a planar portion separating opposed edges. A first foil is sealed in the planar portion. A lead-in conductor is attached to the foil and extends outside of the body and an electrode is also attached to the foil and extends inside the body. A first cavity is formed on a first of the edges and a second cavity is formed on a second of the edges. A fill is provided in each of the cavities for supporting emission of ultraviolet radiation; and a second foil sealed in the planar portion is attached to the first foil, said second foil having a first end terminating in the first cavity and a second end terminating in the second cavity. A ground plane is provided adjacent the cavities.

Abstract: An hermetically sealed arc tube 14 has a longitudinal axis 60 and contains therewithin an arc generating and sustaining medium, as is known. The ends of the arc tube 14 are sealed with press-seals 43. The seals comprise a substantially parallelepipodonal structure having oppositely disposed, planar sides 56 and 58. A molybdenum foil 50 is sealed in each of the press-seals and is substantially centrally located between the planar sides 56 and 58. An in-lead 52 is secured as by welding to an end of foil 50 and extends outwardly of the arc tube for electrical connection to a source and an electrode 46 is attached to the other end of foil 50 and projects into the arc chamber. A first rod-relief member 62 in the form of a projecting boss 64 is formed on one of the planar sides, for example, 58, and a second rod-relief member 66 in the form of a depression 68 is formed on the other of the planar sides, in this instance side 56.

Abstract: A halide discharge lamp has a an evacuated outer envelope including a getter comprising from about 60 to about 85 percent zirconium, from about 10 to about 20 percent vanadium, and from about 2 to about 10 percent manganese having an activation temperature of less than about 350 degrees Centigrade for reducing the tendency of the lamps to discolor during operation.
