Patent number: 10145542Abstract: A display system, a method of constructing a display system, and a method of displaying an image are described. In one embodiment, a display system includes a support structure having a plurality of attachment members and a plurality of tiles. Each of the plurality of tiles is attached to a corresponding attachment member of the plurality of attachment members. The support structure is configured to structurally support each of the plurality of tiles, and at least one of the plurality of tiles includes at least one connection configured to removably connect and align the at least one of the plurality of tiles with another one of the plurality of tiles.Type: GrantFiled: October 13, 2015Date of Patent: December 4, 2018Assignee: Barco, Inc.Inventors: Grant Arthur John Elliott, Marcus Robert Patterson

Patent number: 10012368Abstract: A light-emitting display system has an alignment mechanism to align or angle light-emitting tiles of the display. A first tile connects to a second tile by joining a first clamp portion on the first tile with a second clamp portion on the second tile. In an implementation, the alignment mechanism includes a replaceable angle adjustment insert that is inserted into at least one of the clamp portions, such as the first clamp portion. When the first and second clamp portions are joined, a surface of the second clamp portion presses against the insert and a desired angle between the first and second tile is formed. The insert can have any angle so that any desired angle can be formed between the first and second tiles.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 2017Date of Patent: July 3, 2018Assignee: Barco, Inc.Inventors: Marcus Robert Patterson, Grant Arthur John Elliott

Patent number: 8917391Abstract: Large digital displays for entertainment, architectural and advertizing displays have interconnected display panels with pluralities of light emitting elements. To solve calibration problems, each of the display panels stores measured luminance and chromaticity data for each of the light emitting elements of the panel. The luminance data is independent of the chromaticity data. A central controller can then perform calibration procedures so that the light emitting elements are matched across the entire display.Type: GrantFiled: June 18, 2013Date of Patent: December 23, 2014Assignee: Barco, Inc.Inventor: Grant Arthur John Elliott

Patent number: RE47976Abstract: An Inductive Power Transfer (IPT) pick-up apparatus includes a magnetically permeable core, a first coil, being wound about the core so as to be inductive coupled therewith such that a current induced in the first coil is most sensitive to a first directional component of magnetic flux and a second coil, being wound about the core so as to be inductively coupled therewith such that a current induced in the second coil is most sensitive to a second directional component of magnetic flux. The first directional component is substantially orthogonal to the second directional component.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2014Date of Patent: May 5, 2020Assignee: Auckland Uniservices Ltd.Inventors: John Talbot Boys, Grant Anthony Covic, Grant Arthur John Elliott
