  • Patent number: 6964371
    Abstract: An electronic display comprises a transversally U-shaped fixing beam with a two-wired conducting strip installed therein. Two terminal-fixing bases to fix the two-wired conducting strip and connected electric cables are provided at both ends of the two-wired conducting strip, respectively. Two magnetic connectors are disposed at the back side of each display corresponding to the two-wired conducting strip, when the display is disposed on the fixing beam the electric connection is achieved through magnetically adhesive contact of the magnetic connectors with the two-wired conducting strip. The invention has the advantage of simple installation and flexible positioning.

  • Patent number: 6948023
    Abstract: The present invention provides a transmission interface conversion device, which can first convert the communication signal of a master equipment controller and then connect to a plurality of slave devices through a pair of transmission lines so as to perform data transmission and power supply synchronously. The transmission interface conversion device includes: a conversion interface, formed by at least one repeater circuit, which transmits data by half-duplex; a signal inspector, which inspects whether a signal has been transmitted to the conversion interface; a control unit, to determine the orientation and the operation method of the repeater circuit by using the signal that has been inspected by the signal inspector; and a voltage adjustor, to supply needed electric power to all the above-mentioned circuits. The invention has features of being installed and maintained easily as well as being able to reduce the cost of cabling.
