Patent ID: 6947822

Claim:
A system comprising: a control signal operably coupled to a first electronically controlled component of N+1 electronically controlled components, where N is an integer greater than or equal to 1; N signal repeaters, each having an input sourced by the control signal and each generating a repeated control signal; N regulators, each having an output, each having an input sourced by one of the N repeated control signals, and each connectable in parallel with one of N electronically controlled components of the N+1 electronically controlled components, wherein the first electronically controlled component is not one of the N electronically controlled components; a power source, operably coupled to each output of the N regulators, and capable of providing a predetermined amount of current to each of the N electronically controlled components; wherein the predetermined amount of current is provided to each of the N electronically controlled components at substantially the same time that the control signal is provided to the first electronically controlled component.
