Appl. No.:

11/514095

Inventors:

Richard C. Farrell - Newport Beach CA, US

International Classification:

G09F 13/04

US Classification:

40575, 40603, 40604

Abstract:

A light box display configured for frontal access to change out graphics and to perform maintenance tasks. This is accomplished in the present invention while assuring that the graphics is held in a state of moderate tension to retain the graphics in a flat and properly oriented configuration. In the preferred embodiment, the light box comprises a moveable interior frame to which the graphics sheet and diffuser are both secured. The moveable interior frame rests on a plurality of upper and lower slides which facilitate movement of the inner frame. Such movement is controlled, in part, by at least one pneumatic piston which biases the frame toward the front of the light box and provides a mechanical lock that holds the frame in its rearward position to facilitate frontal access. The graphics sheet is held in place along the top and bottom front peripheral edges of the moveable frame by a plurality of spring-biased wire connection members within roller guides. One end of each wire member is attached to the rear peripheral surface of the moveable inner frame and the other end is threaded through a grommeted hole along the outer edge of the graphics sheet.

International Classification:

G06F 1/26

US Classification:

700286

Abstract:

A centralized multi-channel power control system for configuring, programming and controlling DC powered devices, such as lights, having multiple sets of LEDs energized through multiple channels is provided. The devices may be located in multiple zones of a structure and operate as a single integrated circuit or series of electronic devices instead of a series of lights connected directly to AC power. The control system comprises power control module(s) connected to a power distribution module. The power control module(s) may include a memory device having pre-set applications for controlling the devices and an embedded microprocessor for individually managing a single zone in the multiple zone system. The power control module(s) may control and dim multiple separate channels which can be individually controlled or intermixed to create a variety of lighting color schemes. The system thus creates a DC network or micro-grid for configuring; programming and controlling of DC powered devices.
