Abstract: The invention is a method and apparatuses for a console/control concentrator utilizing a location based dynamic coordinate addressing network over a programmable pulse modulated wireless protocol such as TM-UWB™. The physical connections are wireless, which involves adding new hardware, designing TM-UWB™ devices into new devices, adding the software and firmware, the PLT and authentication, a standalone concentrator or the software to emulate a concentrator. The concentrator uses a built-in query language and an internal database to configure and map itself, and all the devices logically attached to it. It also uses the built-in query/language to dynamically add new devices within its range of operation.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method and apparatus for efficient electronics positioning and connection systems. In one embodiment of the present invention, electronic components are inserted into a connection rack from the front such that connections face the front side of the connection rack. In another embodiment of the present invention, electronic components are inserted into a connection rack from a side such that connections face the front side of the connection rack. In one embodiment, a connection rack is positioned with the back side against a wall. In another embodiment two connection racks are positioned such that the back side of a first connection rack is against the back side of a second connection rack. In one embodiment, a power supply is positioned near the top of the connection rack. A common power line couples the power supply to the electronic components. Thus, the need for heat-producing power supplies in each component is eliminated.
