Abstract: A two part connector for the temporary connection of an external periphery device to a printed circuit board (PCB). When coding or diagnostics need to be performed on much of todays electronic or electronic controlled equipment, an external unit needs to be physically connected to the microprocessor on the PCB of the equipment. Until now equipment manufacturers either install a socket onto the PCB, or form a mating part of connector directly on the surface of PCB, that is electronically connected to the microprocessor through electrical trace paths. This device eliminates the need for a socket and forms an intermediary element between the external unit and the PCB, that connects to the PCB with a set of vertical pins that matingly connect to a series of cutouts on the PCB. This device connects to a plethora of external devices and takes zero space on the surface of the PCB.

Abstract: Improvements are disclosed to known twist-lock electrical connectors, whose plug blades form parallel segments of a common cylindrical form.

Abstract: A control signal for controlling a light emitting device is PWM modulated in time, the PWM modulation comprising PWM pulses and PWM periods. The PWM pulse instantaneous frequency of a PWM pulse is the reciprocal of the instantaneous PWM period of the PWM pulse. The PWM pulse instantaneous frequency depends on the PWM duty cycle of the PWM pulses of the control signal. The PWM pulse instantaneous frequency of the PWM pulses is a first PWM pulse instantaneous frequency at a first PWM duty cycle of the control signal, and is a second PWM pulse instantaneous frequency at a second PWM duty cycle of the control signal. In an operating condition, the first PWM duty cycle is less than the second PWM duty cycle and the first PWM pulse instantaneous frequency is less than the second PWM pulse instantaneous frequency.
