Abstract: Plasma Display Panels (PDP) are becoming more and more interesting
for TV technology. One important criterion for picture
quality is the Peak White Enhancement Factor PWEF. This invention
proposes a method for power level control in a display
with which the PWEF can be increased and which is characterised
by: 
the provision of a set of power level modes for the sub-field
coding, wherein to each power level mode a characteristic
sub-field organisation belongs, the sub-field organisations
being variable in respect to one or more of the following
characteristics:
     the number of sub-fields   the sub-field type   the sub-field positioning   the sub-field weight   the sub-field pre-scaling   a factor for the sub-field weights which is
used to vary the amount of small pulses generated
during each sub-field;   
and wherein the method comprises the steps of determining a
value (AP) which is characteristic for the power level of a
video picture and selecting a corresponding power level mode
for sub-field coding.
     The invention further comprises an apparatus for carrying out
the method for power level control.

Abstract: A programmable pacemaker system, having a
programmer which has the capability of making software
control modifications to a family of pacemakers types
which can be software modified with different control
functions. The programmer carries manual data relating
to the manual corresponding to each pacemaker type.

Abstract: An electrolysis cell has filled liquid electrolyte and oxidizing or reducing gas compartments, separated by a gas diffusion electrode on which an ion exchanging separator is formed (on the electrolyte side) by single- or multi-stage application of a solution of an ion exchanger material in a solvent, with at least partial evaporation of the solvent after each coating stage. An electrolysis cell for carrying out chemical reactions includes a liquid electrolyte compartment and an oxidizing or reducing gas compartment, having inlet and outlet lines for electrolyte and gas respectively. The two compartments each contain electrically conductive filler and are separated by a gas diffusion electrode (GDE), combined with an ion exchanging separator (IES) on the electrolyte side. A current collector for the GDE is provided. The filler in the electrolyte compartment serves as counter-electrode. The novel feature is that IES is applied to GDE by single- or multi-stage coating of the electro-catalytic layer of GDE with a solution of an ion exchanger material in a solvent, with at least partial evaporation of the solvent after each coating stage.
