Abstract: A light-receiving device incorporation particulate semiconductor devices (solar cells) having a light-to-electricity transducing function or a light-emitting device incorporating particulate semiconductor devices (light-emitting diodes) having an electricity-to-light transducing function. In a solar cell panel (30) shown, solar cells (3) are arrayed on the same plane in rows. Each row of solar cells (3) are parallel interconnected through positive electrode wires and negative electrode wires (31a,31b), and solar cells (3) of adjoining rows are interconnected in series through a connection part (31c). These solar cells (3) connected in parallel and in series are covered with a transparent covering member, thus forming a panel. These solar cells (3) each have externally exposed positive and negative electrode terminals (34a,34b), and therefore the solar cells (3) can be interconnected in parallel, in series, or in parallel and series. When the conductive wires (31a,31b,31c) and the covering member are flexible, the device can be dormable. When the solar cells (3) are replaced with light-emitting diodes, the device can be a light-emitting one.

Abstract: A variable modulus interpolator ( 1 ) for interpolating a fractional part <maths id="MATH-US-00001" num="00001"> <MATH OVERFLOW="SCROLL"> <MFRAC> <MI>F</MI> <MI>M</MI> </MFRAC> </MATH> </MATHS> of a rational number by which a reference frequency is to be divided in a multi-divisor divider in a variable frequency synthesizer comprises a third order sigma-delta modulator ( 3 ) of MASH cascade configuration having first, second and third sigma-delta stages ( 5,6,7 ). The numerator F of the fraction is selectable and is inputted to a first register ( 10 ) for inputting to the input of the first sigma-delta stage ( 5 ) of the sigma-delta modulator ( 3 ). The denominator M of the fraction is selectable and is inputted to a second register 11 . A single bit output quantiser ( 16 ) in each sigma-delta stage ( 5,6,7 ) outputs a sign bit indicative of the sign of the output from an integrator ( 15 ) in the corresponding sigma-delta stage ( 5,6,7 ). A multiplier ( 22 ) is located in the negative feedback loop of each sigma-delta modulator for multiplying the output of the quantiser ( 16 ) being fed back by the denominator M stored in the second register ( 11 ). The negative of the fed back product of the multiplier and the quantiser output is summed in a first summer ( 18 ) in the corresponding sigma-delta stage ( 5,6,7 ) with the input to that stage, and is applied to the integrator ( 15 ). Quantiser noise from the first and second stages ( 5,6 ) form the input to the first summers ( 18 ) of the second and third sigma-delta stages ( 6,7 ). The outputs of the respective sigma-delta stages ( 5,6,7 ) are summed together in an intermediate summer ( 26 ) and in a main summer ( 27 ) to provide a varying digital code for applying to a control input of a multi-divisor divider for providing varying values of divisors for fractional division. The variable modulus interpolator ( 1 ) is particularly suitable for use in conjunction with an indirect frequency synthesizer, and by varying the value of the denominator M the frequency step size between selectable frequencies can be varied.

Abstract: An appliance control system includes a housing and a user cycle selector which is movable in relation to the housing between a first selector position and a second selector position. The appliance control system further includes a first spring secured to the housing, the first spring being configured to retain the user cycle selector at (i) the first selector position during a first period of time, and (ii) the second selector position during a second period of time. Additionally, the appliance control system includes a mode switch positioned within the housing, the mode switch having an actuated state and a deactuated state. The appliance control system also includes a second spring having a spring arm which is movable between a first arm position and a second arm position. Movement of the user cycle selector from the first selector position to the second selector position causes the spring arm to move from the first arm position to the second arm position. And movement of the spring arm from the first arm position to the second arm position causes the mode switch to be switched from the deactuated state to the actuated state.

Abstract: A plethysmogram signal is sensed from a patient and provided to a programmer device for monitoring the condition of the patient and for optimizing pacing parameters of a cardiac device implanted in the patient. The programmer device analyzes the plethysmogram signal for cardiac performance associated with different pacing parameters. The cardiac performance is indicated by, for example, a pulse amplitude response, a degree of pulsus alternans, or irregularity in the pressure pulses detected in an atrial fibrillation patient. The pacing parameters resulting in the best cardiac performance are selected as the optimum pacing parameters. In one embodiment, the programmer device monitors a Valsalva maneuver performed by a patient. Optimum pacing parameters are derived by analysis of the plethysmogram signals obtained during performance of the Valsalva maneuver while the patient is paced using different pacing parameters.
