Patent number: 12609497Abstract: An ethernet device connector built-in module for a controllable apparatus from lighting, sound, video or special effects engineering, for incorporating the apparatus in a chain of apparatuses serially connected by ethernet. The construction of the built-in module allows serial control of complexly switchable apparatuses. The built-in module provides a data supply and, for example, a power supply of a chain of serially interconnected apparatuses via two external plug-in locations being interconnected via an interposed distributor component that has an ethernet contact interface on a PCB of the built-in module for connecting within the apparatus, the built-in module to control electronics of the apparatus. The distributor component is configured here to distribute a data supply signal and optionally a power supply signal supplied by one of the two external plug-in locations to the other one of the two external plug-in locations and the ethernet contact interface on the PCB.Type: GrantFiled: November 17, 2023Date of Patent: April 21, 2026Assignee: Neutrik AGInventors: Christian Söhnel, Florian Burtscher

Publication number: 20230236580Abstract: A method for operating an assembly includes providing a furniture part which can be arranged by a furniture drive in at least two operating positions relative to a furniture body. In chronological order, a command transmitter spatially separated from the furniture drive transmits at least one digital command to a data transmission device of the furniture drive via the data transmission device of the command transmitter. A computing unit of the furniture drive compares the at least one digital command with at least one digital data set stored in a storage unit, and the computing unit makes a selection on the basis of the result of the comparison to carry out the at least one digital command.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 29, 2022Publication date: July 27, 2023Inventors: Thomas RUEDISSER, Florian BURTSCHER, Thomas TAIMLER
