Patent number: 11393363Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: May 24, 2019Date of Patent: July 19, 2022Assignee: DIGILED (UK) LIMITEDInventor: Thomas Mudd

Patent number: 8768605Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: April 26, 2013Date of Patent: July 1, 2014Assignee: Roadnet Technologies Inc.Inventors: Charles Heaps, Clifton Kraisser, Ralph Clementi, Thomas Mudd, Stephen Simon, Francis McClellan
