Abstract: Previous information generating devices or printers were designed to print a paper copy of data and/or receipts which causes a disconnect with modem day data manipulation. This information redirector can redirects generated data to and receive data from the internet and hand held devices which will open up extremely fast data exchange and data manipulation for consumers, cities, states and the federal government without the expense of having to purchase complete new systems. By simply adding the redirector we can connect all old computer systems with modem day systems that now have the ability to manipulate data automatically.

Abstract: An in-rush current limiter and method is provided. The in-rush current limiter reduces the maximum current that is drawn during system startup of an avionics system. During startup, power is provided through a power supply bus to a plurality of avionics units that are each coupled to the power bus. To reduce the maximum current drawn by the avionics units during startup, the in-rush current limiter includes a current limiter controller, a charging circuit, and a switching circuit. Specifically, during system startup the main current path from the power supply bus is interrupted by the switching circuit while an alternate current path is connected through the charging circuit. During this charging the amount of current flowing through the charging circuit is limited to an acceptable level by a resistive element in the charging circuit.
