Abstract:
An adaptive polyhedral display device includes at least at least N-number of display devices, a location sensor, and a display system. Each display device is coupled together to form a polyhedron structure that has at least (N+1) sides and an inner volume. Each display device includes a touch sensitive display and an associated display controller, and each touch sensitive display at least partially defines a different one of the sides of the polyhedron structure. The location sensor is disposed within the inner volume, and is configured to sense a location of the polyhedron structure. The display system processor is disposed within the inner volume and is configured to individually communicate with each one of the display controllers and, in response to the location data, to command each display controller to render, on its associated touch sensitive display, a user interface associated with a sensed location.
Abstract:
A system and method for limiting in-rush current from a power source to a load includes sensing that a load has been electrically connected to receive electrical power from the power source. A current limiter circuit is configured to at least inhibit electrical current flow from the power source to the load for a predetermined time period. After the predetermined time period, the current limiter circuit is configured to no longer at least inhibit the electrical current flow from the power source to the load. Upon sensing that the load has been electrically disconnected from the power source, the current limiter circuit is reconfigured to at least inhibit electrical current flow from the power source to a load that may be subsequently connected to receive electrical power from the power source.
