    摘要: A timepiece has a case back made of a thermally conductive material, an upper case body made of a thermally conductive material and disposed opposite to the case back, and a lower case body made of a thermally insulating material and disposed between the upper case body and the case back. A thermoelectric generator unit generates an electromotive force in accordance with heat conducted from the case back. At least one step-up circuit steps up an electromotive force generated by the thermoelectric generator unit. A storage member stores power and an electromotive force stepped up by the step-up circuit. A timepiece driving circuit is driven by power stored in the storage member or by electromotive force stepped up by the step-up circuit. A power supply operating control circuit controls power flow from the step-up circuit to the storage member and controls whether the electromotive force stepped up by the step-up circuit or the power stored in the storage member is supplied to the timepiece driving circuit. A display member displays time information in accordance with a signal outputted from the timepiece driving circuit.

    摘要: An electronic apparatus is comprised of a generator 11 in which a voltage is changed as time elapses, a booster circuit 12 for boosting an output voltage of the generator 11, and an oscillator circuit 13 that drives the booster circuit 12. When the voltage of the generator 11 changes as time elapses so that the voltage exceeds the minimum driving voltage of the oscillator circuit 13, the oscillator circuit 13 obtains power for starting oscillation from the generator 11. The oscillator circuit 13 that has started oscillation drives the booster circuit 12 to thereby boost the output voltage generated by the generator 11. Since the oscillator circuit 13 after starting oscillation continuously performs oscillation using the power boosted by the booster circuit 12, even if the voltage of the generator 11 changes as time elapses so that the voltage becomes lower than the minimum driving voltage of the oscillator circuit 13, the voltage can be boosted to the minimum driving voltage of the oscillator circuit 13 or higher.

    摘要: A cooling unit is structured such that a temperature sensor is formed on at least one of the substrates that form a thermoelectric conversion device to which thermoelectric elements are connected, an input/output electrode extending from the temperature sensor and an electrode formed on the other surface opposed to the substrate on which the temperature sensor is formed are connected to each other by electrically conductive material, and a control circuit for controlling a current supplied to the thermoelectric conversion device according to an output of the temperature sensor is connected thereto. By this structure, only one surface of the substrate is subjected to a manufacturing process, and there is no need for a temperature sensor such as a thermistor to be supplied as a discrete component for mounting on a substrate of the thermoelectric conversion device. There is also no need for a temperature sensor to be connected directly on a surface of the thermoelectric conversion device which is to be adjusted in temperature, thereby being capable of easily and accurately adjusting the temperature at the thermoelectric conversion device.

    摘要: A .pi.-type thermoelectric conversion component detects and controls temperature and at the same time exhibits a cooling performance inherently possessed by the thermoelectric conversion component without the need for mounting a discrete temperature detecting unit. To achieve this, a temperature detecting unit, such as a thin film thermistor or doped semiconductor region, is directly integrated on a surface of a substrate forming the thermoelectric component. In one embodiment, a monocrystalline silicon wafer is used as at least one of the opposing substrates of the thermoelectric conversion component, a temperature detecting unit having a diffused resistor is formed therein. An electrode of the temperature detecting unit is connected to an electrode formed on the opposing substrate to reduce the thermal load. There is thus no need for mounting a discrete temperature detecting unit, which places a thermal load on the thermoelectric conversion component, and it is thus possible to perform temperature detection from the same substrate to which a power supply of the thermoelectric conversion component is applied. It is also possible to obtain a cooling performance inherently possessed by the thermoelectric conversion component without the need to increase the performance criteria of the device to incorporate a temperature detecting unit.
