Abstract: A voltage regulator includes a power transistor for providing an electrical current to a load circuit connected to an output of the regulator. The delivered current is limited by a limitation circuit within the regulator. A stabilization resistor is connected between the power transistor and the output of the regulator. The limitation circuit includes a fixed-voltage generator, and a comparator for comparing the voltage generated in the stabilization resistor by the output current of the regulator with the fixed voltage. The output of the comparator controls an adjustment transistor that limits the current delivered by the power transistor.

Abstract: A photocell having an entry face for the light and a photosensitive element, as well as to a matrix composed of such photocells. A lightguide-forming element placed between the entry face and the photosensitive element of the photocell ensures optical coupling between the latter two components. It makes it possible to place on either side of the photosensitive element electronic components for reading and for controlling the photocell, while reducing the loss of light incident on the entry face corresponding to the rays which would strike these electronic components. This lightguide-forming element is composed of at least three dielectric materials having different respective optical refractive indices and placed within concentric volumes.

Abstract: A memory device includes a plurality of memory cells arranged as a matrix. Each memory cell includes a transistor and a capacitor connected in series. Each memory cell is linked to a bit line that connects the memory cells of a column. Each memory cell is also linked to a word line and to a third line. A gate of the transistor of a memory cell is linked to the word line, with each word line being linked to the gates of the transistors in a respective column. A third line is linked to the sources of the transistors of a row of memory cells. A bit line is linked to the capacitors of the transistors of a column. The voltage between the gate and the source of a transistor can thus be controlled via the word column and the third line.
