Manufacturing Resources International, Inc.

Door frame subassemblies for electronic display assemblies are disclosed, along with related electronic display assemblies and methods of manufacturing the same. The door frame subassembly includes a frame defining an opening and including a perimeter surface and a ledge having a first surface receiving a cover layer, which is transparent or translucent. The ledge is recessed from an upper and lower edge of the perimeter surface such that at least a majority of the perimeter surface, including the lower edge, extends on a first side of the ledge. The ledge extends outward at least substantially perpendicular from, and extends along, an interior facing surface of the perimeter surface such that the ledge extends into the opening.

Display units with vandalism deterrence are disclosed, along with related systems and methods. A controller in electronic communication with an electronic display and a network communication device of the unit initiates a vandalism deterrence protocol at the display unit in response to receipt, by way of the network communication device, of a signal from a second display unit indicating occurrence of a vandalism event at the second display unit.

A heat exchanger for a thermal management system of a display assembly includes layers, at least one of which is formed into sections of alternating height. A plurality of deposits of structural adhesive are provided, at least some of which are provided at the sections of alternating height to secure said layers to each other. Related display assemblies and methods are also provided.

Display assemblies and related systems and methods for mounting are provided. A first mounting device includes a first complementary portion extending, at least primary, in a first direction. A side assembly includes a display layer and a backlight, and a second mounting device located, at least in part, rearward of at least a viewing surface of the display layer. The second mounting device includes a second complementary portion extending, at least primarily, in a second direction. The first mounting device receives the side assembly by complementary engagement of the first complementary portion and the second complementary portion, engagement of which secures the side assembly to the first mounting device in a removable fashion.

A fan unit for improved airflow within a display assembly is provided. A common housing forms a ducted passageway for exhaust from fans thereat. An upper portion of the common housing includes openings, each aligned with an intake of a respective one of the fans for ingesting airflow. A forward portion of the common housing forms, at least in part, an exit for the exhaust. A rear wall extends along and from a rear edge of the upper portion to and along an underlying surface of the display assembly when the fan unit is installed. The rear edge forms a wave shape defining peaks in the upper portion for the openings, and a valley between adjacent peaks. The rear wall forms the wave shape and thereby defines peaks, each accommodating one of the fans and a valley between adjacent peaks.

Display assemblies with data security and authentication features, along with related systems and methods are provided. The display assembly includes a processing device in electronic communication with a media player and an electronic display. The processing device checks for a valid digital signature in files received from the media player for playing at the electronic display. Only if the valid digital signature is found will the processing device allow the received video file to be played at the electronic display.

Display assemblies with bi-directional flow through a common, partition heat exchanger are provided. Side assemblies are connected to a structural framework and include a cover, an electronic display, and one or more channels. A heat exchanger is positioned between the side assemblies and within the structural framework. A closed loop airflow pathway includes a first portion including at least one of the channels of the first side assembly, a second portion including a first portion of the heat exchanger, distal from the first side assembly, a third portion including at least one of the channels of the second side assembly, and a fourth portion extending to the first portion and including a second portion of the heat exchanger, distal from the second side assembly.

Systems and methods for remotely monitoring digital signage are disclosed. A display assembly has components including a cooling fan, an electronic display, and a sensor which monitors, in substantially real time, an operating condition at the display assembly. A programmable controller is in electronic communication, by way of the internet, with the sensor and at least one of the components of the display assembly. A remote computer receives and stores, in substantially real time, data representative of actual performance of the operating condition from the sensor, automatically analyzes the actual performance data in comparison with preferred performance data for the operating condition stored at a database to determine if they differ by at least a preset threshold difference, and if so, automatically sends an electronic signal to the controller to adjust the actual performance of the operating condition to align with the preferred performance condition setting.

Methods of manufacturing a door frame subassembly for an electronic display assembly and related systems and apparatuses are disclosed. A material is extruded to form a frame. The material is bent into a rectangular shape with rounded corners to define an opening. Notches may be formed in the frame to facilitate the bending. A remaining gap in the material is joined, such as by a bracket at a lower portion of the opening to secure the frame to itself.

A door frame for a display assembly of a display unit is disclosed, along with related display assemblies, units, systems, and methods. The door frame includes a body which is at least substantially planar. At least one vent is provided at the body. A cover is installable to a lip of the door frame which extends at least substantially perpendicular to the body and from an end thereof. The door frame subassembly is replaceable, such as to repair damaged covers offsite. The door frame may be formed by extrusion and bending.
