Abstract: A radiation generating system for treating a coating on a substrate. A high voltage circuit provides power to a microwave generator that, in turn, supplies microwave radiation to drive a lamp. A current limiting device is connected between the high voltage circuit and the microwave generator, and a fault detector is connected to the high voltage circuit for providing an error signal in response to excess current being supplied to the microwave generator. A control is operative to interrupt a supply of AC power to the high voltage circuit in response to the error signal.

Abstract: A microwave excited ultraviolet lamp system having a single electrical cable that supplies operating voltages from a power supply to a lamp head. The single electrical cable may provide high voltage to a magnetron of the lamp head and a lesser voltage to an internal blower of the lamp head. The electrical cable may incorporate conductors for transferring communications signals between the power supply and sensors associated with the lamp head.

Abstract: A lamp assembly for irradiating a substrate is convertible between a focus condition and a flood condition. The lamp assembly includes a radiation source and a reflector having first and second pivotal reflective bodies. Each reflective body has a concave reflective surface which, together, cooperate to partially surround the radiation source. The reflective bodies can pivot to define an emission opening positioned therebetween to emit radiation from the radiation source toward the substrate. First and second movable stop members respectively engage the first and second pivotal reflective bodies during pivotal movement and each stop member is movable between first and second positions. The first position defines a focused condition of the reflective bodies and emission opening and the second position defines a flood condition of the reflective bodies and emission opening.

Abstract: A training and shooting aid for basketball players to eliminate and prevent interference by the guide arm and guide hand when shooting a basketball. The training and shooting aid includes an adjustable band adapted to encircle a player's guide arm. The band is intended to be snugly secured around the player's arm slightly above the elbow. A non-stretchable separable strap member has a free end adapted to be associated with the band member. The opposite end of the strap member is provided with a loop for placing around the thumb of the player's guide hand. Once the loop has been placed around the player's thumb, the strap member is adapted to be tightened, whereby the guide hand and thumb are pulled toward the elbow.
