What is disclosed is a modular visualization display panel. The modular visualization display panel includes a first module having at least one surface and a connection to electrical ground. The modular visualization display panel also includes a second module having at least one surface with a plurality of raised contact nodes arranged on the one surface of the second module such that when in contact with the one surface of the first module electrostatic discharge energy is directed over at least one of the raised contact nodes to the one surface of the first module.

A method and system is provided for assigning addresses to input/output (I/O) devices in a control network, and for verifying addresses assigned to the I/O devices. The system comprises a logic controller providing memory into which a connectivity map may be programmed. The connectivity map defines a specific expected address for each I/O device in the system. The logic controller further provides an external controller bus and logic for downloading the connectivity map to an I/O bus manager connected to the logic controller via the external controller bus. The I/O bus manager provides logic for assigning the specific addresses to the I/O devices. Network nodes connect the I/O bus manager to I/O cluster units in the system, each network node including a multiplexer for multiplexing output signals from the I/O bus manager and a demultiplexer for demultiplexing input signals from the I/O cluster units, the multiplexing/demultiplexing functions provided by a controller area network (CAN) integrated circuit. Each I/O cluster unit includes a multiplexer for multiplexing input signals from the I/O devices and a demultiplexer for demultiplexing output signals from its associated network node, the multiplexing/ demultiplexing functions again provided by a controller area network (CAN) integrated circuit. Each I/O cluster unit provides means for manually requesting address assignments and a visual indication of addresses so assigned.

An adaptor bracket for the mounting of a color sensor head and a support pad held in a specific orientation such that the light emitted from the color sensor head strikes the support pad in a manner that the reflected light is directed back towards the color sensor head while the support pad serves as a low friction surface over which a flexible translucent material can be passed for measurement of its color quality.

A device for photoelectrically sensing the color of a target object includes two more light sources having different characteristic ranges of chromaticity and at least one photosensitive element which receives light from the light sources after it has reflected off of the target object. A logic circuit serves to serially energize the light sources and receive resultant sample signals from the photosensitive elements. The logic circuit then generates a resultant signal as a function of the various sample signals and compares the resultant signal with a predetermined reference standard. If the difference therebetween exceeds a tolerance limit, the control circuit will output a reject signal.

An improved container includes a main section and a cover section which are interconnected by a hinge assembly. The hinge assembly allows the cover section to move toward and away from the main section along a linear path so that a seal is uniformly compressed completely around an opening in the main section. In addition, the hinge assembly allows the cover section to pivot relative to the main section. The hinge assembly includes a base portion which is fixedly secured to the main section of the container. A connector portion of the hinge assembly has a pair of hinge plates which are pivotally interconnected. A lower hinge plate is slidably received between the base portion of the hinge assembly and the main section of the container to accommodate linear movement of the cover section relative to the main section of the container. Stop surfaces on the lower hinge plate and the base portion of the hinge assembly limit the extent of linear movement of the cover section relative to the main section of the container. An upper hinge plate is pivotally connected to the lower hinge plate and cover section to accommodate pivotal movement of the cover section.
