Abstract: A multi-phase power system configured to add and remove phases according to a plurality of states can increase the efficiency of the power system, which can increase a battery life in mobile applications. After phases are shed, a load may quickly change requiring all phases to be activated before an over current protection triggers a shutdown. The response of the power system to these load transients may be improved through the use of multiple triggers, which can provide an early warning of the changing load requirements more accurately and consistently than a single trigger.

Abstract: A fluorescent light fixture is disclosed which is modular in construction and capable of accommodating different types and numbers of light tubes. The light fixture includes a first and a second socket bridge which include a plurality of socket mounting holes in a first and a second row to accommodate different lengths of light tubes as well as varying numbers and locational positions of the light tubes in the fixture.
