Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for controlling the speed of an electric motor, wherein the said motor is arranged to be connected to a voltage source, wherein the said motor comprises a stator winding and a rotor winding, wherein, in operation, a rotating stator field having a first rotational frequency is generated in the stator winding, wherein the said stator field, in operation, is arranged to induce a first rotor field having a second rotational frequency in the said rotor winding.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a power unit with a self-oscillating series resonance converter for feeding of a load. The series resonance converter comprises: two transistors TR1, TR2 coupled together, which are arranged to individually be affected by a control transformer T1, a series connection of an inductor L1 and a capacitor C4, and means to change the oscillating frequency of the transistors TR1, TR2 and thereby the output voltage of the power unit. Each transistor TR1, TR2 together with the series coupled discharging capacitor C6, C7 or additional transistor TR3, TR4 belonging thereto is connected in parallel with said inductor L1, capacitor C4 and control transformer T1. The means to change the oscillating frequency of the transistors comprises a control oscillator OSC that in an alternating manner sends pulses that turns off the transistor TR1, TR2 that conducts current and thereby the oscillating frequency of the transistors is controlled by the pulse frequency of the control oscillator OSC.

Abstract: The light source, comprises an evacuated container having walls, including an outer glass layer (23) which on at least part thereof is coated on the inside with a layer of phosphor (24) forming a luminescent layer and a conductive layer (25) forming an anode. The phosphor (24) is excited to luminescence by electron bombardment from a field emission cathode (40) located in the interior of the container. The field emission cathode (40) comprises a carrier having a diameter in the mm range. At least a portion of the surface of the carrier is provided with a conductive layer having surface irregularities in the form of tips, having a radial extension being less than about 10 ?m. Due to the geometry and the tips, the electric field is concentrated and amplified at the field emission surface.
