  • Publication number: 20250150101
    Abstract: A switch matrix circuit module for routing signals. In an example, the module includes a switch matrix coupled with first and second switches. The switch matrix is configured to receive a plurality of input signals, and output a selected one of the plurality of input signals as a first intermediate signal and another selected one of the plurality of input signals as a second intermediate signal. The first switch receives the first intermediate signal and a first auxiliary signal, and outputs a first output signal, and the second switch receives the second intermediate signal and a second auxiliary signal, and outputs a second output signal. A number of the modules can be coupled together to provide a switch matrix circuit, which can be readily scaled by adding further modules. In an example, the plurality of input signals are radio frequency (RF) signals.

  • Patent number: 6775038
    Abstract: A configurable shield and methods related to same by which the ambient light in conventionally illuminated venues can be largely prevented from falling onto or around a screen such that images displayed on the screen are generally not degraded in quality. The configurable shield includes shield components that are preferably of a durable, yet light weight construction such that the components can be easily transported, assembled, and moved into position for use, then disassembled by one or a few individuals.
