Abstract: The low voltage power distribution bus system for a plurality of connected modules includes an intelligently managed power load. The system maintains a marginal reserve of power while monitoring the amount used of the total power. When a new module is connected, a base power setting for the new module is retrieved. The system calculates available power and compares the base power setting. If the available power is exceeded, the system redistributes a maximum allowed power of each connected module and assigns the new module an allowed maximum power. The allowed maximum power is the base power setting if the available power exceeds the base power setting of the new module and a fraction of the base power setting if the base power setting of the new module exceeds the available power.

Abstract: Briefly described, the present invention is a circuit for detecting and indicating a level of interference on a high frequency angular modulated signal. This circuit includes a logarithmic amplifier for receiving high frequency angular modulated signals and for providing a logarithmic amplifier output in response thereto. Next, the angular modulated signals are detected to determine a level of associated FM modulation thereof. Finally, a processor, programmed to distinguish those high frequency spectrum components due to interference from those due to other sources, determines a carrier to interference ratio. Of note, when the level of FM modulation at the logarithmic amplifier input exceeds a predetermined threshold, however, the associated carrier to interference ratio is ignored.
