Plasma Screen Floating
Mount
This invention is a new mounting system for flat panel display screens. This
mounting system has proven to eliminate vibration and dampen shock, enabling
use of plasma screens in mobile applications.
Manufacturers recommend against mounting large display screens in environments
where
shock and vibration occur.
The plasma screen floating mount was devised for use in a high tech mobile
surveillance laboratory. This mobile laboratory performs a wide variety
of monitoring and
detection activities, often while being driven over rough terrain or down the
highway at 65-70 mph. The current mount supports a 42-inch plasma display screen
weighing about 60 pounds and provides
stable, interference-free pictures.
Market Assessment
Flat panel video technology is gaining popularity and there are numerous applications
for the floating mount such as medical, military, defense, environmental
mobile laboratories, or mobile command centers. Any mobile installation
of a plasma screen will benefit from this unique product.
Patent Status
U.S. patent 6,808,148 has
been issued on this technology.
Stage of Development
This invention has been in use in our high-tech mobile surveillance laboratory
for approximately one year. This technology was selected as a Top 25 Award
recipient in the World’s Best Technologies Showcase 2005.
