Abstract: Systems and methods for adaptive power factor correction are described that utilize a circuit that senses a current or frequency of a line and controls one or more switches to vary the capacitance of the circuit based on the measured current or frequency. Two or more branches can be used to allow for the capacitance of the circuit to be varied over time in response to a change in the measured current or frequency. Using such systems and methods, a high power factor can be maintained even for higher line frequencies and lighter loads.

Abstract: An entertainment system including a removable seat-back display unit and a docking station. The seat-back display unit can include a rotating latch butterfly release mechanism that prevents unauthorized release of the display unit from the docking station. The system can include a three-point attachment system that provides additional protection against accidental detachment of the display unit, and provide safety in the event of partial dislodging. The system can include a current control pin system that ensures that current is not provided from the docking station to the display unit until the respective connectors have been properly engaged. The system can also include a heat dissipation system that employs the docking station to share the heat dissipation load with the display unit.
