Abstract: A lamp apparatus include a lamp body, at least an alternating current light-emitting diode and a plug. The alternating current light-emitting diode is disposed on a lamp body. The plug is electrically connected to the alternating current light-emitting diode. In lamp apparatuses utilizing AC LED, heat generated thereby is almost concentrated on chips. Compared with conventional lamp apparatuses utilizing DC LEDs, heat generated thereby is distributed on chips and outer rectifier. In lamp apparatuses utilizing AC LEDs, heat generated thereby is almost concentrated on chips because AC LEDs operate directly with AC electric power, omitting a rectifier and preventing power loss during operation of power rectification. Therefore, the heat accumulated on the chips of the AC LEDs is enough to be used to evaporate essential oil. In another embodiment, the invention utilizes low-resistance pure water surrounding the AC LED to dissipate its heat.

Abstract: An asynchronous communications element which incorporates user-selectable FIFOs both as transmitter and receiver buffers to reduce CPU interrupt overhead. The asynchronous communications element includes a receiver shift register which receives serial data transfers from a communication station, a receiver FIFO which receives parallel data transfers from the receiver shift register for transfer to the CPU, a transmitter FIFO which receives parallel data transfers from the CPU, and a transmitter shift register which receives parallel data transfers from the transmitter FIFO for serial transfer to the communications station. A transmitter time delay eliminates multiple interrupts for a transmitter FIFO "empty" condition that has already been indicated to the CPU. Programmable interrupt levels on the receiver FIFO, together with a receiver FIFO that continues to fill beyond the programmed interrupt level, allow adjustments for variable CPU latency times.
