Abstract: An ultracapacitor module includes an ultracapacitor cell stack containing one or more ultracapacitor cells. The ultracapacitor module includes a bidirectional boost/buck DC/DC converter. The ultracapacitor cell stack and the DC/DC converter are configured to be connected in series with a voltage bus of a vehicle. The ultracapacitor module includes a voltage sensor configured to determine an operating voltage Vo of the voltage bus.

Abstract: An ultracapacitor module may include an ultracapacitor cell stack, a boost/buck DC/DC converter, a temperature sensor configured to measure a temperature T, a voltage sensor configured to determine an operating voltage Vo of the voltage supply bus; and an electronic controller connected with the DC/DC converter, the temperature sensor, and the voltage sensor. The ultracapacitor cell stack and the DC/DC converter are connected with the voltage supply bus, The electronic controller is configured to determine an initial voltage value Vi corresponding to the measured temperature T, determine an adjustment voltage value Va when the rate of change dV/dt of the operating voltage Vo is less than a predetermined threshold, calculate a target bus voltage value Vt using a first formula Vt=Vi+Va, and control the DC/DC converter to be in a boost mode or a buck mode to maintain the voltage Vo near the voltage value Vt.

Abstract: An inflatable display system with a projection screen on two opposing sides is provided that allows a single inflatable display support to allow viewers to watch the screens on both sides, thereby doubling the number of viewers per inflatable display support without increasing the size of the display support. An opaque material may be placed between the projection screens or integrated into the back of the screens to avoid interference from light from images projected from the opposite side. In this way, a screen operator or user can accommodate viewers on both sides of the display system, essentially doubling viewer capacity without having to set up two inflatable supports or increase the size of the screen/support system.

Abstract: An air supported frame is provided for supporting a large LED display wherein the frame includes upper, lower and side segments and has a front portion and a rear portion and the LED display is positioned when in use within the frame substantially midway between the front portion and rear portion. Further, an additional support structure may be attached to the upper and lower segments of the air supported frame wherein the additional support structure bends, curves, or angles away from the plane of the display so as to provide support to the upper segment without interfering with the display. In addition, the air supported frame may include vent seals that allow greater air pressure to be held within the air supported frame.
