Abstract: The invention relates to a fuel-cell system comprising a fuel cell and a number of secondary units for starting and operating the fuel cell. According to the invention, to improve the dynamics of the operating cycle of the fuel cell system, for example if the fuel cell system is to be cold started or restarted immediately after the system has been switched off, a device for switching on/off the fuel cell and the secondary units is provided. Said device allows at least individual secondary units and/or the fuel cell to be switched on/off or switches on/off said units and the cell independently of one another. The stepped switch-off of the fuel-cell system permits, for example, the secondary units that are necessary for a rapid re-start to remain in operation and thus be maintained at the required operating temperature, whereas less important secondary units can be switched off. The invention also relates to a method for switching on/off a fuel-cell system of this type.

Abstract: Servo circuitry for counting tracks on an optical storage medium is disclosed. The servo circuitry is comprised of a differential phase detector and a digital phase-locked loop. The differential phase detector receives four signals from a quad-photodetector and correlates the four signals into a first correlation signal and a second correlation signal. The digital phase-locked loop receives an adjustable amplification value along with the positive correlation signal and the negative correlation signal. The digital phase-locked loop generates a track count signal based on the adjustable amplification value, the positive correlation signal, and the negative correlation signal. The track count signal represents track crossings on the optical storage medium. The digital phase-locked loop advantageously has an adjustable bandwidth based on the amplification value. The servo circuitry count tracks on both CDs and DVDs.
