Abstract: A control device of a bicycle includes an actuator and a first controller. The first controller is configured to generate and transmit, from the first controller to a second controller of the bicycle, messages for a predetermined time period at a first transmission rate in response to activation of the actuator. The first controller is further configured to, after the predetermined period of time, generate and transmit, from the first controller to the second controller, one or more messages at a second transmission rate until the actuator is deactivated. The first transmission rate is greater than the second transmission rate, and each of the messages includes data identifying the activation of the actuator.

Abstract: Embodiments of forming an image sensor with an organic photodiode are provided. The organic photodiode uses dual electron-blocking layers formed next to the anode of the organic photodiode to reduce dark current. By using dual electron-blocking layers, the values of highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) for the neighboring anode layer and the organic electron-blocking layer are matched by one of the dual electron-blocking layers to form a photodiode with good performance. The values of the lowest occupied molecular orbital (LOMOs) of the dual electron-blocking layers are selected to be lower than the neighboring anode layer to reduce dark current.
