  • Publication number: 20240076040
    Abstract: Embodiments described herein relate to providing authenticated access to passenger-specific information at a seatback device of a vehicle based on connection with personal passenger devices. A method includes obtaining a unique identifier associated with a passenger device that is wirelessly connected with a seatback device located in a vehicle. The method includes determining whether an account data for a passenger corresponding to the seatback device includes an indication of the unique identifier. The method includes automatically causing, based on a determination that the account data includes the indication of the unique identifier associated with the passenger device, at least a portion of the account data to be displayed at the seatback device.

  • Publication number: 20200310698
    Abstract: Processing a delayed printer assignment to a physical printer through an off-premise communications network relative to the physical printer is provided. A list of one or more held print jobs associated with a secure user identity of a user is retrieved from a cloud-based print service through the off-premise communications network. Each held print job is cached in the cloud-based print service. Rendering of the held print job is assigned to the physical printer using a secure physical printer identifier of the physical printer, responsive to the retrieving. The held print job is rendered at the physical printer identified by the physical printer identifier, responsive to the assigning.

  • Patent number: 5133663
    Abstract: A portable radar simulator which when connected to a transmitting means s as a magnetron generated microwave threat transmitter simulates up to 2048 pre-programmed radar signatures. The portable radar simulator comprises a replaceable Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory (EPROM) which will hold up to 2048 pre-programmed radar signatures. Selection of a particular radar threat to be simulated is entered by an operator via thumbwheel switches located on the front panel of the simulator. The portable radar simulator simulates such radar parameters as jitter, stagger, frequency hop, simple and complex scans, pulse repetition intervals and frequency pulse widths.

  • Patent number: 4109245
    Abstract: In an electronic sign having a set of segmented character displays, programming cards are used to control which segments are illuminated. In one embodiment, each card has a printed circuit providing electrical connection from an unfiltered, rectified ac power source via a silicon controlled rectifier to those display segments for which there are corresponding contacts in the printed circuit. Plural such cards may be wired to each character display via respective SCR's with segmented trigger signals causing sequential card energization and hence message display.In another embodiment, segment illumination data is stored in a memory and accessed sequentially and repetitively to control which characters are displayed. Similar programming cards may be used to enter into the memory data defining each message character. A set of counters control memory addressing and selective segment energization via appropriate decoder/driver circuits that receive the data from the memory and drive the display segments.
