Abstract:
A device comprising:an infrared remote controller, a voltage reference, a power supply, a power capacitor of at least 0.1 Faraday, and a main switch all electrically connected by a basic main circuit such that said power capacitor is in parallel with both said power supply and said infrared remote controller and is further in series with said power supply through an interface circuit with said main switch open and in series with said infrared remote controller with said main switch closed;said power capacitor being electrically connected to said infrared remote controller through said voltage reference such that electrical power of fixed stabilized voltage is provided to said infrared remote controller from said power capacitor when said main switch is closed;said interface circuit electrically allowing the flow of electricity from said power supply to said power capacitor and when said main switch is open said electricity from said power supply to said power capacitor effects charging of said power capacitor;whereby closing of said main switch provides electrical power to said infrared remote controller from said power capacitor and opening of said main switch provides replenishment of the electrical charge held by said power capacitor.
