| 1. A system comprising:
a control unit operable to generate a power signal having a plurality of power transitions; and
a distributor unit operable to—
rotatably couple with the control unit,
receive the power signal from the control unit,
identify power transitions and their durations within the power signal,
generate a plurality of output signals corresponding to the identified power transitions utilizing power at least substantially
provided by the power signal,
deactivate all outputs after power transitions are identified within the power signal, and
control the output utilizing both the identified power transitions and their durations.
