  • Publication number: 20240128953
    Abstract: A power switching system for controlling power supply to an electronic assembly comprising a plurality of electronic devices each having a power supply unit, the power switching system comprising a plurality of power switching modules, each power switching module being configured to control power supply by a respective one of the power supply units to one of the electronic devices. Each power switching module comprises a module output for connecting to the power supply unit of a respective one of the electronic devices; a control input configured to receive a control signal; and a switch configured to, following receipt of the control signal, activate an electrical connection between the module output and the respective power supply unit and thereby to cause the power supply unit to switch on power supply to at least the respective one of the plurality of electronic devices.

  • Patent number: 11393363
    Abstract: An LED (light emitting diode) panel. In particular, an LED panel that is part of a modular system used to construct a wall mounted LED video screen. An LED panel includes a chassis and an LED tile including a plurality of surface mount devices attached thereto. The LED tile is removably mounted to a front of the chassis, and further includes: a first power connector and a first data connector; and a connector assembly mounted on the chassis. The connector assembly includes a support board; a second power connector; a second data connector; and a biasing member arranged to urge the support board in a direction towards the front of the chassis, such that the second power connector and second data connector engage with the first power connector and first data connector, respectively.

  • Patent number: 8768605
    Abstract: A rush hour modeling system that is configured for modifying existing travel time/distance data to reflect special traffic conditions, such as rush hour traffic conditions. The system is configured to receive information defining one or more time windows, geographic areas, and road segments in which special traffic conditions occur. The system is also configured to receive travel rules that reflect the special traffic conditions. The travel rules are used to modify a travel time/distance matrix to reflect the effect of the special traffic conditions on “normal” travel times and distances. Existing routing and scheduling systems can then use the modified travel matrix to plan and schedule routes for delivery vehicles more accurately. Additionally, the modified travel matrix can be used to model traffic conditions through a particular geographic area or on a particular road segment.
