A circuit is disclosed for determining which of a multiplicity of LED strings in an illumination system has a fault. A group of circuits determines the maximum, minimum, midpoint between maximum and minimum, and average voltage of the group of LED string voltages in use, and examines the statistical properties of the LED string voltages. Comparators are used to find the strings which have the highest and lowest operating voltages, and to compare the midpoint and average voltages to determine whether the highest or lowest voltage string is responsible for causing a fault in the illumination system operation. Memory means are used to keep the said determined string turned off to prevent faulty operation.

A practical technique for inducing and controlling the fusion of nuclei within a solid lattice. A reactor includes a loading source to provide the light nuclei which are to be fused, a lattice which can absorb the light nuclei, a source of phonon energy, and a control mechanism to start and stop stimulation of phonon energy and/or the loading of reactants. The lattice transmits phonon energy sufficient to affect electron-nucleus collapse. By controlling the stimulation of phonon energy and controlling the loading of light nuclei into the lattice, energy released by the fusion reactions is allowed to dissipate before it builds to the point that it causes destruction of the reaction lattice.

The invention discloses a sea wave active plate dam power generation system. The active plate dam is composed of multiple switch blade plates and is suspended in near-shore wave to transversally intercept sea wave thrust, the whole active plate dam can be impacted by sea wave and can rotate, the blade plates of the plate dam which are suspended on sea surface can automatically open wide or can be automatically contracted and folded, so as to reduce a reacting force of wind power on the sea surface to rotation of the whole plate dam, each rotary shaft of the active plate dam is connected with multiple energy storage steel strips to store energy by virtue of a transmission gear, and the stored energy is sequentially transmitted and concentrated to the same rotary shaft, thus the rotary shaft which drives a generator has continuity and the generator is driven to generate electricity by virtue of a speed increaser.
