Invention relates to the field of lighting equipment. Technical result is improvement of lighting efficiency for portable lighting devices. The claimed lighting device has a scrolling function that provides lighting of the observed area at which the user is concentrated at present and the lighted area is scrolled forward and backward during reading. The lighting device contains two varieties of light-emitting units, an illuminating substrate, a controller and a selector. The selector controls one variety of the light-emitting units which illuminate a part of the illuminating substrate capable to deflect light to a part of the observed surface. |

Invention is referred to illumination engineering, in particular, to light sources that contain a number of elements. A light source is suggested which contains a variety of luminous elements and a control system intended to control these luminous elements. The control system contains a variety of luminous element controllers, and each controller is connected to the respective luminous element so that it can receive data of this luminous element, and a bus interface which is connected to luminous element controllers by the light source bus. The bus interface provides a general command to the luminous element controllers while the luminous element controllers generate signals of illumination element excitation on the basis of this general command and data of the luminous elements. |

Method of arc furnace operation, control device for arc furnace and arc furnace Invention relates to arc furnace operation and control. At least one electrode is used to initiate the arc for metal fusion. Note here that electric arc associated with at least one electrode features first radiation power based on the first selected set of working parameters. Arc furnace is operated in compliance with preset program base of expected process run. Note here that availability of undesirable deviation of actual process run from expected process run is controlled. If said deviation exists second radiation power is set. Proceeding from changed second radiation power defined is changed second set of working parameters, at least, one magnitude of impedance. |
