  • Publication number: 20240069847
    Abstract: Systems and methods for controlling a display system. The methods comprise: detecting an occurrence of an event; initiating a display session based on the event being of an event type to trigger a display session; and selecting media content (MC) for display by computing devices (ICDs) (wherein ICDs are located in areas or sections (SA/S) of a venue); selecting a first SA/S at which display of MC is to begin; identifying first CDs (FCDs) that are located in the first SA/S; causing FCDs to notify users that FCDs are to be moved into positions in which first pixel panels are visible by persons located outside of the first SA/S; and causing each FCD to display a respective pixel portion of a first electronic graphic (FEI) contained in MC, whereby an entirety of FEI is displayed collectively by FCDs.

  • Publication number: 20060272564
    Abstract: A yarn feed system, enabling the control of individual yarns to the needles of a tufting machine, and which system can be manufactured as a substantially standardized unit or attachment that can be removably mounted to a tufting machine. The yarn feed unit includes a series of yarn feed devices for feeding each of the yarns to the needles of the tufting machine, and a series of yarn feed controllers that monitor and control the operation of the yarn feed devices to control the feeding of the yarns to the needles according to programmed pattern instructions.

  • Patent number: 5150874
    Abstract: An improved apparatus for mounting artificial tree branches to an artificial tree trunk. A series of bracket guideways, each bridged by a horizontal pin, are adapted for pivotal engagement each with a branch member for movement between stowed and operative positions. Each branch mounts a hinge piece adjacent to one end adapted for pivotal engagement with the horizontal pin as the branch moves between stowed and operative positions, the hinge piece suspending the branch radially from the tree trunk when in an operative position. Snaps secure the branch in a groove on the hinge piece to restrict movement of the branch about the bracket when in either a stowed or an operative position. Extended bracket guideways and a hinge piece back stop also assist in securing the branch to the hinge piece and restricting radial movement of the branch about the bracket.

  • Patent number: 5015510
    Abstract: An apparatus for mounting artificial tree branches to an artificial tree trunk. A series of bracket guideways are adapted for pivotal engagement with a plurality of branch members for movement of each member between stowed and operative positions. Each branch engages a guideway notch which suspends the branch in an operative position radially from the tree trunk. As each branch member moves between stowed and operative positions, a guideway slot receives one leg of a branch so as to enable its elbow to pass through the guideway. Upon moving the branches into a stowed or an operative position, each branch member engages a guideway slot or notch, respectively, restricting radial rotation of the branch.
