  • Publication number: 20240140608
    Abstract: A cabin pressure control system comprising an automatic motor controller (AMC); and a manual motor controller (MMC) that comprises a motor configured to regulate cabin pressure; a cabin pressure sensor configured to determine a first set of cabin pressure data; a differential pressure sensor comprising first and second ports, the first port configured to obtain a second set of cabin pressure data and the second port configured to obtain a first set of ambient pressure data; processing circuitry coupled to the cabin pressure sensor and to the differential pressure sensor, the processing circuitry configured to receive the first set of cabin pressure data; determine a first set of differential pressure data, the first set of differential pressure data relating the second set of cabin pressure data with the first set of ambient pressure data; disable the AMC; and control the motor to regulate the cabin pressure.

  • Patent number: 11369021
    Abstract: On a flexible substrate is printed LEDs and a driver circuit containing transistors. The LEDs and transistors are printed microscopic devices contained in an ink. The LEDs are printed in groups and connected in parallel, and the transistors are printed in groups and connected in parallel. Other components, such as resistors and an on/off switch, are also printed to form the driver. A battery and other circuit components may also be printed on the substrate. An overlay is provided over the LEDs to create a desired light pattern. The LEDs and driver may be generic, and the overlay customizes the light pattern for a particular application. The transistors in the driver may be interconnected with a trace pattern to drive the LEDs in a customized manner, such as for an insert in a product package for marketing to a consumer.

  • Publication number: 20170018049
    Abstract: On a flexible substrate is printed, LEDs, a battery, a flasher, and an actuator. The actuator may be a photo-switch that causes the battery and flasher to periodically energize the LEDs when a sufficient ambient light impinges on the actuator. The substrate may be an insert in a transparent package containing a product, such as a razor. When the package is in the front of a display in a store, the ambient light causes the LEDs to flash, such as every 10-30 seconds to attract consumers to the product. The substrate may also form part of the outer surface of the package. The flasher may simply flash the LEDs or create a dynamic display by energizing different groups of the LEDs at different times.

  • Publication number: 20120059694
    Abstract: A fuel dispenser utilizing an application framework that comprises at least two portions, the first of which is configured to communicate with all devices, including those that handle confidential or sensitive customer data, while the second portion is configured to communicate only with devices that do not handle confidential or sensitive data. The application framework also comprises two frame buffers, one of which is only accessible by the first, secure portion. Additionally, the first portion determines which frame buffer is used by a display module to transmit data to a display in order to present a graphical representation of the data.
