Abstract: A frequency band splitter is disclosed. The frequency band splitter includes a first, a second, and a third waveguides. A first narrow rectangular waveguide is utilized to connect the first waveguide to second waveguide. The first narrow rectangular waveguide has a first width to allow signals of a frequency band centered around a first frequency to be transmitted from the first waveguide to the second waveguide. A second narrow rectangular waveguide is utilized to connect the first waveguide to the third waveguide. The second narrow rectangular waveguide has a second width, which is different from the first width, to allow signals of a frequency band centered around a second frequency to be transmitted from the first waveguide to the third waveguide.

Abstract: It is determined that a current node power consumption for a node is greater than a node power cap that defines a limit of power consumption for the node. Responsive to the current node power consumption being greater than the node power cap and until the current node power consumption is less than the node power cap, power reduction operations are performed. The power reduction operations comprise determining a power management zone of a plurality of power management zones having a lowest priority among the power management zones and having a power cap greater than a minimum power cap for the power management zone. The power reduction operations further comprise setting the power cap for the power management zone to a value less than a prior value assigned as the power cap for the power management zone.

Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for bypassing a voltage drop. A protection module allows electric current to flow from an electric power storage device to a load. The protection module prevents electric current from flowing to the electric power storage device. The protection module includes a voltage drop between the electric power storage device and the load. A power source detection module detects an absence of electric power from an electric power source. The electric power source provides electric current to the load when electric power from the electric power source is present. A bypass module bypasses the protection module and the voltage drop in response to the power source detection module detecting the absence of electric power from the electric power source. A conservation module delivers, to the load, electric current flowing through the power source detection module.
