Abstract: Display assemblies and related systems and methods for mounting are provided. A side assembly includes a cover positioned forward of an electronic display and a mounting device positioned, at least in part, rearward of the electronic display. The mounting device includes a laterally extending portion and hooked portions facing, at least primarily, in a downward facing direction. An additional mounting device includes a laterally extending portion and hooked portions facing, at least primarily, in an upward facing direction, where the hooked portions of the mounting device are complementary with the hooked portions of the additional mounting device.

Abstract: A display assembly includes a mounting structure with one or more cavities for electronic equipment located along a dedicated central airflow pathway for a first flow of ambient air. Each of a number of side assemblies are attached to a respective side of the mounting structure and include a front cover, a display layer located rearward of the front cover, an illumination device for illuminating the display layer when operated, and one or more dedicated side assembly airflow pathways.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for reducing or combating bowing of an electronic display layer located behind a cover panel is provided. A rear panel is positioned behind the electronic display layer. An air pathway includes a first gas pathway between said cover panel and the electronic display layer, a cavity located between the electronic display layer and the rear panel, and a second gas pathway located behind the rear panel. The air pathway is configured to cause the pressure of air in the cavity to be lower than the pressure of air in the first gas pathway.

Abstract: Satellite communication methods and systems are disclosed. Various embodiments employ dummy bursts to monitor the communication channel between a user terminal and a hub. In some embodiments, dynamic link adaptation can also be employed to optimize channel performance. In some embodiments, the link margin can be estimated based on the signal quality of a traffic or dummy burst that is received at the hub and compared with a threshold value. If the link margin is less than a first/low threshold then the hub can instruct the terminal to change any of various communication parameters according to a predetermined algorithm to mitigate channel fading. If the link margin is greater than a second/high threshold then the hub can instruct the terminal to change any of various communication parameters according to a predetermined algorithm to reduce overcompensation for channel fading.
