A system and method for sensing image on CMOS. A handheld computingcommunication device may be configured for performing a non-resuscitation function during time periods when resuscitation is not required, the handheld device may be further configured to provide CPR prompts during time periods when used by a rescuer to assist in resuscitation, and a sensor may be provided to measure a parameter relevant to resuscitation. An electronic controller determines a current operating state of the engine and a torque utilization of the machine system, and compares the current operating state of the engine with the torque utilization in an engine droop function. The converter makes it possible to compensate for losses to keep a total energy of the actuator device constant. A delay management unit determines the delays that should be used by the task processing units in executing their assigned tasks and provides this information to the variable delay elements to set the appropriate delays in each of these elements.
