In accordance with various aspects of the present invention, a method and circuit for reducing power consumption of a power strip is provided. In an exemplary embodiment, a power strip is configured for reducing or eliminating power during idle mode by disengaging an outlet from power input. A power strip may include two or more outlets and two or more outlet circuits, with AC power input connected to the outlets through the outlet circuit(s), which may include a current transformer, a control circuit, and a switch. The current transformer secondary winding provides an output power level signal proportional to the outlet load. If behavior of the current transformer secondary winding indicates that the outlet is drawing substantially no power from the AC power input, the switch facilitates disengaging of the current transformer primary from the outlet.

The present invention relates to an electric car which has a battery pack at a constant state of maximum power discharge and to a method of efficiently controlling a motor with due consideration for rechargeable power levels. The control method according to one embodiment of the present invention, comprises the steps of: calculating estimated power levels required, based on current power consumption levels, for providing current from the battery pack to all parts of an electric car, and the required torque according to a driver's activation of the accelerator; comparing the estimated power levels required with the maximum possible power discharge from the battery pack; and enabling maximum possible torque from the motor when the estimated power levels required exceeds the current maximum possible power discharge from the battery pack.

This disclosure describes systems, methods, and apparatus for frequency tuning a power source so as to optimize power delivery to a plasma load as well as systems, methods, and apparatus for identifying characteristics and/or changes in characteristics of a plasma load. In particular, a secondary power signal can be applied concurrently with a primary power signal, the secondary power signal having a substantially lower power level, so as to tune for a global optimum of a measure of performance and/or identifying characteristics and/or changes in characteristics of a plasma load. The secondary power signal can comprise a low level signal that is jointly generated with or combined with the primary power signal, or it can comprise noise either inherent to the primary power signal or added to the primary power signal.

A downstream power calibration method comprises the following procedures. First, select base sampling frequencies and sampling power levels, thereby generating base sampling signals. Next, input base sampling signals into a modem such that obtaining each sum of the feedback signals responding to the tuner and the IF amplifier of the modem by the modem chip corresponding each said base sampling signal, thereby setting up a sampling data table. Third, repeat the procedure mention above for a plurality of modems to get a plurality of sampling data tables respectively, and then obtain a mean data table. Fourth, select spot frequencies and spot power levels from the base sampling frequencies and the base sampling power levels to generate spot sampling signals. Thereafter, input the spot sampling signals into a cable modem and set up a skeleton data table. Finally, expand skeleton data table and obtain an individual default data table for the modem, thereby providing the basis of the calculation of power levels when the cable modem is receiving downstream signals.

The invention relates to a digital tuner solving the problem that the power levels of television signals are lowered because of a great number of combined two-order and three-order beat interference signals generated by dense channel signals of the prior high-level cable digital televisions. The digital tuner comprises an antenna input device, a radio-frequency AGC low-noise wideband pre-amplifier, a power divider, a frequency selective network, a tracking filter, a frequency mixer, a local oscillator, an intermediate-frequency filter, a circular signal output device, a rheostatic diode, an alternating current gain controller and a delay controller, wherein the alternating current gain controller is connected in series with the frequency selective network and the tracking filter and also connected in parallel with the delay controller and a high-frequency AGC voltage. The invention adopts a step-by-step AGC control mode to control intermediate-frequency AGC, high-level AGC and radio-frequency AGC step by step so that the functions that a small signal receives a low noise factor and a large signal has a large receiving dynamic range is achieved, and the acceptable maximum cable television signal level can not be lowered.

Apparatus, and an associated method, for effectuating power control in a radio communication system, such as an IS-95/IS-2000 system which deploys 1×EV-DO technology. At a mobile station, a channel indicia measurer measures channel conditions upon a radio link. Responsive thereto, a data rate selector selects a data rate at which subsequent data is to be communicated to the mobile station. The selection is returned to the network part of the communication system. A selector selects the power level at which to communicate the subsequent data to the mobile station responsive to the requested data rate. The requested data rate is used as a metric by which to select the power level at which to communicate the subsequent data to the mobile station.

The present invention discloses a multilevel printing circuit board which at least comprises a first level plate and a second level plate. The first level plate is at least provided with a first electric element and a second electric element; the first electric element and the second electric element are respectively and electrically connected with the first connecting point and the second connecting point which are arranged on the second level plate; the second level plate forms a partial electromagnetic energy gap structure area which comprises a linear route area between the first connecting point and the second connecting point. The present invention utilizes the partial electromagnetic energy gap structure to form a power level or a grounding level, which mainly uses the electromagnetic energy gap structure on the linear transportation route from the connecting point of a first integrating circuit on the power level or the grounding level to the connecting point of a second integrating circuit so as to improve the problem that self-impedance and diverted impedance can easily happen in the prior integrated electromagnetic energy gap structure.
