摘要:
A power supply comprises transistors (Q 1 ,Q 2 ,Q 3 ) whose conduction paths are connected in series and whose control terminals receive a reference voltage (V ref ). The common terminal at one end of the series-connected conduction paths provides a regulator output whereas output terminals of the transistors are connected to charge storage capacitors (C 1 ,C 2 ,C 3 ), which are charged by respective power generators (31,32,33) for scavenging energy from the environment. The transistors begin conducting in sequence so that the storage capacitors begin contributing sequentially to the output current as each transistor conducts in sequence. The capacitors are charged up when they are not contributing to the output current.
摘要:
A body implant antenna, comprises an electrically conductive electrode (2) formed on the surface of an enclosure (1) filled with a fluid (5) having a relatively permittivity greater than 10. The fluid is substantially electrically insulating and forms a substrate of the conductive electrode (2). Antenna size may therefore be reduced while permitting a relatively efficient antenna to be provided.
摘要:
An inductive component comprises a plurality of planar inductive elements (2, 6) connected in parallel and disposed adjacent each other in respective parallel planes so as to have a common magnetic axis. Each element (2, 6) comprises at least one turn of a planar conductor and the elements (2, 6) are separated from each other by one or more insulators (5). The elements (2, 6) are connected together by interconnections (10, 10a, 10b) at one or more intermediate points.
