Abstract: A magnetic debris level measuring device for a magnetic filter is disclosed. The magnetic debris level measuring device includes a magnetometer and a temperature sensor. The temperature measured by the temperature sensor is used to calculate a corrected magnetometer reading, which in turn can be used to determine the amount of captured magnetic debris held within the filter. The device has a stored threshold for the corrected magnetometer reading, and when the corrected magnetometer reading crosses the stored threshold a notification is issued that the filter is full. If it is detected that debris continues to be captured after the ‘full’ notification has been issued, the stored threshold will be updated accordingly.

Abstract: According to one aspect, a control circuit for a tubular light emitting diode (TLED) lamp may include an input detection circuit that detects, from an input signal, a type of control desired based on a characteristic of the input signal and generate an output signal, a digital control circuit that controls operation according to a digital lighting protocol, and an analog control circuit that controls operation according to a voltage associated with the input signal. The digital control circuit may be enabled or disabled based on the output signal. The analog control circuit may be enabled or disabled based on the output signal.

Abstract: A buck-boost converter may include a first switch, an inductor, a first diode, a second switch, a second diode, and a capacitor. A cathode end of the first diode may be coupled to a first end of the inductor and a second end of the first switch. An anode end of the second diode may be coupled to a second end of the inductor and a first end of the second switch. A second end of the capacitor may be coupled to a second end of the second switch and an anode end of the first diode. A first end of the capacitor may be coupled to a cathode end of the second diode.
