Abstract:

An apparatus includes an electrical power source and a solid-state circuit located within a housing. The circuit is coupled to the electrical power source such that circuit is initially in an inactive state in which electrical current is prevented from flowing through the solid-state circuit, the inactive state corresponding to an OFF mode of the apparatus. The circuit further includes an active state in which electrical current is allowed to flow through the solid-state circuit, thereby turning the apparatus in an ON mode, the active state being triggered by a momentary voltage and remaining active after the momentary voltage is removed.
