Abstract:
Disclosed is a control device for a serial network protocol controller configured to selectively disable control of a parameter of a controllable media device by at least one channel while the serial network protocol controller continues to transmit the at least one channel to the at least on serial network protocol controllable media device.
Abstract:
A segmented transparent LCD is disclosed that includes a LC module that is substantially transparent to visible light. The segmented transparent LCD includes an array of spaced apart display segments supported by the LCD module. Each display segment is configured to display a segment of the display image. Each display segment includes a non-specular light-redirecting segment configured to provide localized backlight to the display segment when the ambient light is incident thereon. The segmented transparent LCD allows for a display image to be displayed and viewed while also allowing a viewer to see through one or more transparent regions that separate the display segments. Methods of displaying a display image using the segmented transparent LCD are also disclosed.

Abstract:
Discrete electronic modules, such as display tiles, designed and configured to be mosaicked and operatively connected with one another and/or to one or more differing types of discrete electronic modules. In some embodiments, the electronic modules include one or more recessed receptacles along their edges that receive corresponding connector biscuits that operatively connect abutting or confronting electronic modules with one another and/or to a controller. In some embodiments, the sizes of the recessed receptacles and connector biscuits are precisely matched so that the biscuits participate in aligning the abutting or confronting display tiles with one another. In some embodiments, the recessed receptacles are provided in recesses in the backsides of the display tiles, which allows each tile to be easily installed and removed from a display mosaic of which the tile is part.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a housing includes a housing body and a cap assembly. The cap assembly includes an inner member, an outer member and a resilient compression gasket disposed between the inner and outer members. The inner member has a first valve aperture, the outer member has a second valve aperture and the resilient, compression gasket has a third valve aperture which together form an air valve in the cap assembly.
Abstract:
Large-format display systems having color pixels and white pixels are disclosed. In an embodiment, the system includes a video camera, a video processor, and a large-format display that includes the color pixels and the white pixels. The video processor processes the video signal from the video camera, but the video processor does not perform a white-to-RGB conversion. Instead, the information for the white pixels is sent directly to the large-format display to form the color display image. A viewer's visual system performs the white-to-RGB conversion when viewing the color display image. A method of forming the color display image using color pixels and white pixels is also disclosed. Methods of performing color matching using the color pixels and white pixels are also disclosed.
