Vehicular entertainment systems where devices in the systems can each utilize a common type of storage units are presented. A vehicular entertainment system can include a media server head unit in communication over a network with a plurality of media players that are installed about the cabin of a vehicle. Media content can be stored on a plurality of field replaceable storage units where each of the storage units can be installed in any one of the players or the server. Each of the storage units can store a substantially identical content set including passenger content, player content, server content, crew content, or other types of content. The server or players can be restricted from accessing content to which they lack rights, possibly based on a location identifier that indicates roles or responsibilities of the players at their installed location.

According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, a method for operating a multi-unit printing arrangement, including multiple individual motors is provided. The method comprises the steps of operating the multi-unit printing arrangement, stopping the multi-unit printing operation by braking the multiple motors in stop operations, and staggering impression throw operations for individual units by a preselected time delay between commencement of each impression throw operation, a duration of the time delay between commencement of sequential impression throw off operations being selected to be of sufficient duration such that there is no overlap of large torque disturbances experienced at the multiple motors.

In a first exemplary embodiment of the present invention, an apparatus for decelerating a signature comprises a movable belt arrangement (7), and a motor (1) coupled to the movable belt arrangement (7) for controllably moving the movable belt arrangement (7) through a cyclical velocity profile. Pursuant to a feature of the present invention, the movable belt arrangement (7) is moved through a signature engaging section with the cyclical velocity profile causing the motor to decelerate the movable belt arrangement from a first speed to a second speed while engaging a signature (8) in the signature engaging section. The signature (8) enters the signature engaging section at the first speed, and leaves the signature engaging section at the second speed, lower than the first speed. The cyclical velocity profile causes the movable belt arrangement (7) to accelerate upon the signature (8) leaving the signature engaging section, back to the first speed, prior to a next signature entering the signature engaging section.

A multi-drive printed product processing device is provided that includes a processing component and a motor (31) driving the processing component. A motor control (41) controls the motor (31). An encoder (32) measures a position of the motor (31) and sends an encoder feedback signal (33) indicating the position. The motor control (41) receives the encoder feedback signal (33). An encoder feedback signal verification circuit (36, 35, 42) verifies the integrity of the feedback signal (33).

A printing press (10) is provided including at least one print unit printing a first job on a web (12), a folder (50) splitting the web (12) into a plurality of ribbons (53, 54, 55, 56), combining the ribbons (53, 54, 55, 56), and cutting the ribbons (53, 54, 55, 56) into signatures (110), the folder (50) having a folder delivery for delivery of the signatures, a marking device (40) marking every ribbon (53, 54, 55, 56), a sensor (60) sensing the marks on every ribbon (53, 54, 55, 56), and a controller (100) connected to the marking device (40) and the sensor (60) and determining a shortest ribbon value and a longest ribbon value, the shortest ribbon value being a function of a shortest path length (A I ) of a first ribbon (53) through the folder (50) and the longest ribbon value being a function of a longest path length (A 4 ) of a further ribbon (56) through the folder (50). A method is also provided.

A docking system is presented for an ecosystem where multiple media players provide functionality according to the location of corresponding docking stations. The docking stations have locally encoded media player persona information that depends on the location where the docking station is installed. Once a media player is docked with the docking station, the media player obtains the persona information and configures itself to provide the functionality required for the location. The media player can restrict content as necessary based on the obtained persona information. Other features also can be incorporated within the docking station and media player assemblies to provide for proper airflow, isolation from vibration, or installation by unskilled individuals. A preferred ecosystem employing the disclosed techniques includes an aircraft in-flight entertainment system.
