resting tension of the muscle segment

The bias transistor has a terminal with a quiescent voltage that is substantially equal to the quiescent voltage of the output.

The voltage applied across the sidewall actuator (34) is then returned to the rest voltage (54) to deflect the sidewall actuator (34) back to the rest position.

Finally, the polarity of the idling voltage (E) of the circuit is also programmable.

Applying a pre-tension value (eg a positive resting tension) has been found to increase the Total Tension applied when the contractile tissue is electrically stimulated.

More particularly, the circuit is a part of an amplifier having an output with a quiescent voltage and at least one rail voltage.

The slave and master devices submit service requests by respectively driving or pulling the interrupt line voltage from the idle voltage to the service request voltage.

The electrode comprises a material shifting the voltage range between a minimum rest voltage (36) and a maximum rest voltage (34) of the lithium secondary battery between the lower and upper voltage limit (22, 24).

ZN) of the cell stack are aligned, with the exception of a pre-determined reliable difference between the open-circuit voltages.

One normal LiPo battery has a nominal voltage (resting voltage of a battery pack) of 3.7V.

This charge-balance assessment is checked and corrected using the measured quiescent voltage of the battery.

The voltage applied across the sidewall actuator is then returned to the rest voltage, thereby causing the ejection of a droplet of ink having the selected droplet volume.

Said satellite station (3) is fed with a continuous off-load voltage by said data transmission line.

The rest potential of the data transmission line is regulated by a current generator mounted in the central station and whereof the current is re-injected with low-pass characteristics.

A quiescent voltage is then established at the common node (30) by coupling power to the auxiliary amplification stage (50).
