Abstract: The present disclosure provides an ambient light sensing system including an optical detector located beneath a display and a detector electronics. The detector electronics includes an integrator configured to integrate an output from the detector, at least one counter which is connected to the integrator, and a memory which is connected to the integrator. The at least one counter is synchronized to a synchronization signal of the display. The at least one counter causes values to be periodically written from the integrator into the memory.

Abstract: A device comprises a data terminal, a clock terminal and a digital circuitry. The data terminal is configured to be connected to a serial data line. The clock terminal is configured to be connected to a serial clock line for receiving a clock signal. The digital circuitry is coupled to the data terminal and to the clock terminal. The digital circuitry is configured to operate using a time base signal provided via a further clock terminal to the device or using an internal clock signal that is generated by an internal oscillator of the device. Furthermore, a method for operating a device is described.

Abstract: A power tool has a motor, a clutch device for adjusting torque, a percussion device which has two cam discs, and two adjusting rings for selectively setting four operating modes including a “screwdriving” operating mode, an “impacting” operating mode, a “drilling” operating mode and a “percussion drilling” operating mode. One of the two adjusting rings is a torque adjusting ring operable to select one of the “screwdriving” operating mode, the “impacting” operating mode, and the “drilling” operating mode while the other one of the two adjusting rings is a percussion ring operable to selectively set “percussion drilling” operating mode.
