  • Patent number: 12572316
    Abstract: Display units with vandalism deterrence are disclosed, along with related systems and methods. A display unit includes electronic display(s), shock sensor(s), and a controller which receives data from the shock sensor(s). Where the controller determines that the data received from the shock sensor(s) is outside of one or more predetermined parameters, the controller initiates a vandalism detected signal, which may electronically and automatically cause changes to ongoing operations of some or all of the one or more electronic displays.

  • Patent number: 12477683
    Abstract: Display assemblies with enhanced fan control are disclosed. An electronic display is located within a housing. A controller receives readings from sensors located at an airflow pathway extending within the housing and determines which of the readings is, relatively, furthest from a predetermined, associated parameter. The controller drives fans located at the airflow pathway based on the relatively furthest one of the readings in accordance with a control scheme including reading-dependent, preprogrammed operating parameters for the fans.

The display assembly includes a side assembly, including an electronic display, is connected to a structural framework. Sensor(s) are provided, at least one of which is located at, or fluidly connected to, a closed airflow pathway. A controller receives data from the sensor(s) and determines whether an initial indication of an operating condition exists. If so, a testing routine is initiated, additional data is received from the sensor(s) during and/or thereafter. The controller confirms whether the operating condition exists based on the additional data.

  • Patent number: 12321058
    Abstract: Display assemblies and related systems and methods are provided which provide modified operations for condensation control. A controller calculates a dewpoint spread between a dewpoint temperature for air at the display assembly and an internal temperature for the display assembly determined based, at least in part, on data received from one or more sensors located along an airflow pathway extending within a housing for an electronic display. The controller continues to operate the display assembly in a modified operating mode until the dewpoint spread is determined to be above a predetermined threshold by at least a predetermined clear parameter. The controller continues to not operate in the modified operating mode unless and until the dewpoint spread is determined to be less than the predetermined threshold by at least a predetermined buffer parameter.
