Patent number: 9326398Abstract: An electronic sign includes a planar lighting module emitting visible light. A cabinet supportingly engages the lighting module. An air chamber is between the cabinet and the lighting module. A vertical partition is within the air chamber and extends between a bottom wall and a top wall of the cabinet, and between the lighting module and a rear wall of the cabinet. The partition divides the air chamber into first and second sections. An electric fan is within the cabinet and transfers air from the first to the second section. The cabinet and/or the lighting module include a plurality of throughholes fluidly interconnecting the air chamber to ambient air. A first subset of the throughholes are more closely fluidly connected to the first section than to the second section. A second subset of the throughholes are more closely fluidly connected to the second section than to the first section.Type: GrantFiled: June 16, 2015Date of Patent: April 26, 2016Assignee: WatchFire Signs, LLCInventors: Ryan Messmore, Byron Hall, Larry Smith, Jeff Koebrich

Patent number: 8890770Abstract: An electronic display includes a controller transmitting display data from a data communication port. Modules are electrically connected to each other in a series connection. Each of a first module and a last module in the series connection receives the display data directly from the controller and transmits the display data to intermediate modules in the series connection. The intermediate modules pass the display data along the series connection in a first direction until the display data is received for a second time by the last module, and in a second direction until the display data is received for a second time by the first module. Each of the modules controls activation of a respective plurality of lighting elements based on the received display data.Type: GrantFiled: August 16, 2012Date of Patent: November 18, 2014Assignee: Time-O-Matic, LLCInventors: Jeff Koebrich, Michael Cox, Scott Ohlmiller, Carl Roth

Patent number: 8797235Abstract: An electronic display includes a controller transmitting display data to a plurality of modules electrically connected to each other in series. A first module receives and transmits the display data to at least one intermediate module, which passes the display data along the series in a first direction. Each of the modules controls activation of a respective plurality of lighting elements based on the received display data. A last module transmits to the controller an acknowledgement of receipt of the display data. If the controller does not receive the acknowledgement, then the controller transmits the display data directly to the last module. The last module then transmits the display data to the at least one intermediate module, which passes the display data along the series connection in a second direction opposite to the first direction.Type: GrantFiled: June 20, 2012Date of Patent: August 5, 2014Assignee: Time-O-Matic, Inc.Inventors: Jeff Koebrich, Michael Cox, Scott Ohlmiller, Carl Roth
