A television monitor display with video signal processing comprises a source of a video display signal including a sync component. The invention also includes machines or instruments using those aspects of the invention. The selections in the second control information are changed corresponding to selected first control information. An integral controller provides switched operation of the solenoid and compensates for variations in temperature and input voltage, as well as minimizing electrical noise generated by the solenoid when it is energized. Each figurine has a personality controlled by its internal data, which also controls its relationships with others. The resulting voltage generator provides a stable and accurate output voltage that is resistant to output load variations.
