Abstract: A method to eliminate filament hot shock in lamp filaments, particularly in compact filament light sources such as high efficiency infrared reflective coated halogen lamps, during installation or during energization comprising a voltage reduction circuit that reduces the voltage applied to the lamp filaments for a predetermined period of time and a timing circuit that is activated each time the lamp is energized and controls the predetermined period of time during which the voltage reduction circuit reduces voltage applied to the lamp filaments. Optionally, a one time latch circuit may be included that enables the timing circuit upon energization and disables it after the voltage reduction circuit has operated continuously for the predetermined period of time, and forever thereafter.

Abstract: A cost estimation system estimates the cost of supplying parts to a manufacturing facility. The system comprises a first database for storing cost information for various supply methods including air freight, ocean freight, land freight, warehouse storage, plant storage and material handling costs. A user selects a supply method for the parts, and has the option to select a percentage of one type of transportation and a percentage of an alternate type of transportation to serve as a back-up. A user also enters delivery frequency data indicating one or more frequencies of delivery to base a cost estimation. A computer processor then estimates the cost of supplying the parts at the one or more frequencies of delivery and the selected supply method. Finally, the cost estimates are presented to a user.
