Abstract: A rotary control knob for an automobile has a central portion comprising a display and a radial encoder disposed therearound. The display selectively displays first information regarding a first function of the automobile and second information regarding a second function of the automobile. The radial encoder selectively receives input regarding the first and the second functions. The radial encoder can selectively receive input regarding the first function only when the first information is displayed on the display, and receive input regarding the second function only when the second information is displayed on the display. Or, the radial encoder can selectively receive input regarding the first function only when the first information is displayed in a primary area of the display, while displaying the second information in a secondary area. Capacitive coupling can identify user seat location to provide driver and front passenger specific zone features.

Abstract: A touch sensing system includes one or more touch sensors, a temperature sensor, an output driver and a controller configured to set the output driver to a first state when the controller deems the sensor(s) to be in a touched state and to set the output driver to a second state when the controller deems the sensor(s) to be in a untouched state. The controller sets a touch sensitivity threshold for the sensors as a function of temperature data the controller receives from the temperature sensor.

Abstract: The cabinet information center integrates an array of electronic sensors and controls to both standard and purpose built data center equipment cabinets to improve operational efficiencies, reduce costs and protect assets typically installed within standard equipment cabinets utilized in data centers by providing a common point of information display and cabinet interaction without the need to physically access assets and vital sensory components internal to the equipment cabinet itself. Equipment can include any standard rack mount devices such as servers, storage arrays and networking devices.

Abstract: A rack cabling system including a rack having mounted thereon a first hardware component and a patch panel housing mounted on the rack adjacent the first hardware component. The patch panel housing populates no more than a three rack unit (RU space), the patch panel housing including a first end having cable pathway openings and a second end having connector elements mounted therein. The patch panel may have a first cable pathway opening located adjacent the first side of the housing and defining a primary position and a first connector element mounted on the second end and the first connector element having a first position corresponding to the primary position of the first cable pathway opening. Cable harnesses are routed with less than three bends of the cables between the first hardware component and the patch panel housing, so the first cable harness is terminated at the first connector element in the first position.
