Abstract:
An electronic display assembly where the components can be removed and serviced or replaced without having to remove the display from its position. A backplane may be in electrical communication with the image producing assembly and may contain a plurality of blind mate connectors. Various electronic assemblies may be connected to the blind mate connectors. An access panel may provide access to the electronic assemblies so that they can be removed from the housing. N+1 power supplies may be used so that if one fails the unit would continue to operate until the failed power supply could be replaced. The electronic assemblies may be removed from the left side, right side, top, or bottom surfaces of the display housing. Any flat panel electronic display may be used.
Abstract:
An electrical connector assembly (122) for use in a system including a circuit board (118), a motherboard (300) and a backplane board. The connector assembly (122) comprising a connector having a mating interface (202) for electrically coupling the connector with the circuit board (118), and a mounting interface (304) for securing the connector to the motherboard (300). A flexible circuit member (310) electrically interconnects the mating and mounting interfaces (202, 304) with one another, and the flexible circuit member (310) electrically interconnects the circuit board (118) with the backplane board via a conductive pathway (316) that bypasses the motherboard (300).

Abstract:
A patch panel includes a back plane having front mounted pairs of termination locations, and an interconnect location electrically connected to each pair of termination locations. The termination locations connect to two patch cords. The interconnect location defines an access device for selectively accessing the termination locations. An interconnect module interfaces with the interconnect location. The module can include test access, power over Ethernet, or circuit protection features.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method and a device for pseudo-differential transmission in interconnections used for sending a plurality of electrical signals The ends of an interconnection (1) having 4 transmission conductors and a return conductor (10) distinct from the reference conductor (7) are each connected to a termination circuit (4). Three damping circuits (8) are connected between the return conductor (10) and the reference conductor (7). The transmitting circuits (5) receive at their inputs the signals from the 4 channels of the two sources (2), and are connected to the conductors of the interconnection (1). The receiving circuits (6) are connected to the conductors of the interconnection (1), each receiving circuit (6) being such that the 4 channels of a source (2) connected to a transmitting circuit (5) in the activated state are sent to the four channels of the destinations (3) without noticeable external crosstalk.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method and a printed board assembly for use in a MicroTCA system, wherein backplane pin connectors of the printed board assembly are arranged to be received in receiving connectors of a backplane interconnect, characterized in that it comprises at least one switch unit which is arranged with physical output/input ports that have physical port numbers that can be overridden by logical port numbers, an optimal routing of a number of sets of conductive threads in the printed board assembly arranged so that none of the conductive threads cross over each other while connecting physical output/input ports of the switch units with the backplane pin connectors, and printed circuit board layers ar- ranged to shield signals travelling in the conductive threads in conductive layers of the printed circuit board layers from any significant crosstalk.

Abstract:
An electronic system comprises a system board and a transient voltage suppression (TVS) device coupled to the system board. The TVS device comprises an intermediate coupler coupled to the system board, and a TVS board coupled to the intermediate coupler and having components adapted to suppress transient voltages. The intermediate coupler provides a path between the system board and the TVS board to conduct transient voltage current to the TVS board.
