Abstract: A multifunctional infrared (IR) module is configured for multiple IR applications without an additional microcontroller to be integrated into a computing device and is able to utilize voltage control instead of current control. The multifunctional IR module includes an IR light emitting diode (LED), and an IR receiver (e.g., photodiode or phototransistor). In one embodiment, the multifunctional IR module includes a resistor that is connected to the cathode of the IR LED and the drain of a transistor, with the source of the transistor grounded. In some embodiments, the multifunctional IR module additionally includes a red LED. Various configurations of the multifunctional IR module are able to perform one or more of the following functions: IR in (receiving IR signals), IR out (generating IR signals), heart rate sensing, SpO2 (oxygen saturation) sensing, distance/proximity detection, gesture detection, LED control, and ambient light detection.

Abstract: A phototransistor apparatus and a method of operating the phototransistor apparatus. The phototransistor apparatus can include a phototransistor, a light source, and a supply voltage associated with the phototransistor. After switching on the supply voltage, the phototransistor can generate a phototransistor signal that is scanned, wherein the supply voltage associated with the phototransistor is switched on later than the light source, and wherein charge carriers in a base area of the phototransistor are reactive to a light pulse from the light source in a currentless state, and continue to react after the light source is switched off. Alternatively, the power supply of the phototransistor can be switched on before the light source is switched off. By delaying the switching on of the power supply of the phototransistor compared to the switching on of the light source, a significant current saving can be achieved.

Abstract: The various embodiments described herein include methods, devices, and systems for fabricating and operating transistors. In one aspect, a transistor includes: (1) a semiconducting component configured to operate in an on state at temperatures above a semiconducting threshold temperature; and (2) a superconducting component configured to operate in a superconducting state while: (a) a temperature of the superconducting component is below a superconducting threshold temperature; and (b) a first current supplied to the superconducting component is below a current threshold; where: (i) the semiconducting component is located adjacent to the superconducting component; and (ii) in response to a first input voltage, the semiconducting component is configured to generate an electromagnetic field sufficient to lower the current threshold such that the first current exceeds the lowered current threshold, thereby transitioning the superconducting component to a non-superconducting state.
