Abstract: Various embodiments of a nuclear radiation particle power converter and method of forming such power converter are disclosed. In one or more embodiments, the power converter can include first and second electrodes, a three-dimensional current collector disposed between the first and second electrodes and electrically coupled to the first electrode, and a charge carrier separator disposed on at least a portion of a surface of the three-dimensional current collector. The power converter can also include a hole conductor layer disposed on at least a portion of the charge carrier separator and electrically coupled to the second electrode, and nuclear radiation-emitting material disposed such that at least one nuclear radiation particle emitted by the nuclear radiation-emitting material is incident upon the charge carrier separator.

Abstract: Voltage supply and method having a first reference and a second reference. The first reference has an operation mode configured to supply a first reference voltage at a first accuracy and consume an operation power and a standby mode configured to consume standby power less than the operation power. The second reference is configured to supply a second reference having a second accuracy less than the first accuracy of the first reference and which consumes a second reference power less than the operation power of the first reference, the second reference voltage being trimmable based, at least in part, on a comparison of the first reference voltage to the second reference voltage.

Abstract: Devices and methods compensate for perturbations in a stimulation signal caused by external conditions such as a magnetic field of an MRI machine so that stimulation therapy may continue in the presence of the external condition. Compensation for the perturbations during a stimulation pulse of a stimulation phase may be provided by using feedback within a stimulation current source. Perturbations during a recharge phase may be addressed by utilizing an active recharge at least when the external condition is present. Furthermore, compensation for perturbations during a recharge pulse of the active recharge phase may be provided by using feedback within a recharge current source. Passive recharge may be used instead of active recharge when the external condition is not present to preserve battery life of the stimulation device. The stimulation device may include a sensor to detect the external condition so that an appropriate mode of recharge may be chosen.
Abstract translation: 装置和方法补偿由诸如MRI机器的磁场的外部条件引起的刺激信号中的扰动，使得刺激治疗可以在存在外部条件的情况下继续。 在刺激阶段的刺激脉冲期间的扰动的补偿可以通过使用刺激电流源内的反馈来提供。 至少在外部条件存在时，可以通过利用主动充电来解决充电阶段期间的干扰。 此外，可以通过使用充电电流源内的反馈来提供在有效充电阶段的充电脉冲期间的扰动补偿。 当外部条件不存在以保持刺激装置的电池寿命时，可以使用被动充电而不是有效充电。 刺激装置可以包括用于检测外部条件的传感器，使得可以选择适当的再充电模式。

Abstract: An SRAM having two capacitors connected in series between respective bit storage nodes of each memory cell. The two inverters of the memory cell are powered by a positive voltage and a low voltage. The two capacitors are connected to each other at a common node. A leakage current generator is coupled to the common node. The leakage current generator supplies to the common node a leakage current to maintain a voltage which is approximately halfway between the voltages of the high and low SRAM supplies.
