Abstract: The method involves selecting a value of a functional parameter characteristic of an electronic power component, in response to a successive application of switching voltage to determine, whether a reaction of the component is in a fixed time limit. A piloting procedure is run on the component, if the reaction of the component is in the time limit, otherwise the procedure is interrupted to save integrity of the component. The piloting procedure contains many steps to control the application of a different switching voltage, on a common electrode of the electronic power component, between the instant where piloting process starts and the instant of the opening and closing of the electronic power component. Independent claims are also included for the following: (a) a system for controlling electronic power component (b) an information recording medium for performing a method of controlling electronic power component.

Abstract: Techniques for detecting boundary crossings may involve the use of rectangles that approximate a boundary. Data defining the rectangles may be retrieved, and a current location of a monitored device may be identified. The current location may be compared with the rectangles, and a determination that the current location is located within a rectangle may indicate a boundary crossing. To simplify the calculations on the monitored device, certain calculations may be performed in advance. For example, an angle between a selected side of a particular rectangle and an axis of the coordinate system may be determined, and the particular rectangle may be rotated by the angle to orient the rotated rectangle parallel to the axis of the coordinate system. Subsequently, location coordinates for a monitored device may be rotated and compared with a corresponding rotated rectangle to determine whether the monitored device is located within the particular rectangle.

Abstract: A heart stimulator for enhancing cardiac performance of a patient suffering from ventricular rhythms that tend to overdrive the patient's atrial rhythm, has sensing circuitry that detects atrial events and ventricular events, and an atrial stimulator that generates and supplies stimulation pulses to the atrium. A timer generates a detection window having a predetermined duration for the ventricular sensing, the detection window starting upon detection of an intrinsic or stimulated atrial event. If an R-wave is sensed from the ventricle during the detection window, a control unit determines that a focus, that pre-depolarizes the ventricles, exists, and the control unit operates the atrial stimulator to increase the atrial stimulation rate for a predetermined number of consecutive heart cycles.
