A cyclonic incinerator includes a cylindrical outer burn chamber having a defining wall, a central axis, a first end, a second end, and a forced air opening extending through the wall between the first end and the second end. According to an embodiment, the present invention provides a system for adjusting power consumption of an application specific integrated circuit device. If the timing period is started, the stylus compares a second value of the signal to a second threshold and determines whether to stop the timing period based at least in part on this second comparison.
