Signs according to this application are be configured to output content on a display for viewing by bystanders, occupants of vehicles, and so forth. In some instances, the sign may be oriented to output content within a certain range of view angles relative to the sign. Additionally, content output by the sign may be based at least in part on characteristics of the environment in which the sign is located, a speed of the vehicle, a number of viewers within the viewing range of the sign, weather conditions, and so forth. Sensor(s) may sense conditions within the environment for controlling an operation of the sign. While examples are described herein in which signs include electronic displays, in some examples, signs according to this disclosure can be non-electronic (e.g., plastic, wood, paper, and/or metal signs with content painted, printed, or otherwise applied thereto).

A device may include a sign and an adjustment mechanism configured to adjust the sign relative to a vehicle to which the sign couples. The device may receive first data associated with adjusting the sign, and cause, by the adjustment mechanism and based on receiving the first data, the sign to adjust to a first position. The device may receive second data associated with adjusting the sign, and cause, by the adjustment mechanism and based on receiving the second data, the sign to adjust to a second position.

A system determines first content for presentation on a display within an environment when a speed of one or more vehicles within a field of view (FOV) of the display is less than a threshold speed and second content for presentation on the display when the speed of the one or more vehicles within the FOV is greater than the threshold speed. The second content is different than the first content. The system transmits at least one of the first content or the second content to the display.

A display system is configured to be mounted to a vehicle, the system including a display and one or more sensors. The display system may be configured to determine, based at least in part on data from the one or more sensors, a speed of a vehicle to which a sign is coupled. Based at least in part on the speed of the vehicle, the display system may position the sign in a first position based at least in part on the speed of the vehicle being less than a threshold speed, or a second position based at least in part on the speed of the vehicle being greater than or equal to the threshold speed.

A system configured to be mounted to a vehicle, the system including a display viewable over a predetermined range of distances and a motion sensor configured to detect speeds of one or more vehicles within the predetermined range of distances of the display. The system may receive, via the motion sensor, the speeds of the one or more vehicles and based at least in part on the speeds of the one or more vehicles relative to a threshold speed may display first image data or second image data.

A sign displays moving, still, or blank images. In one aspect the sign is mounted over a roadway for viewing by occupants of vehicular traffic and pedestrians. In another aspect the sign is mounted on a vehicle. An associated sensor senses the motion of traffic in the vicinity of the sign. When traffic moves at less than a predetermined speed, the sign displays moving or changing information. At greater speeds the display on the sign is either still or blank, so as to avoid distracting nearby drivers. An electronic system provides various aspects that augment sign operation such as GPS, reception of signage information for use in particular locations, advertiser billing information based on sign usage, and collection and reporting of demographics that aid advertisers in maximizing their impact.

A sign (100) displays moving, still, or blank images (130). In one aspect the sign is mounted over a roadways for viewing by occupants of vehicular traffic (105) and pedestrians. In another aspect the sign is mounted on a vehicle. An associated sensor (125, 220, 221, 222) senses the motion of traffic in the vicinity of the sign. When traffic moves at less than a predetermined speed, the sign displays moving or changing information. At greater speeds the display on the sign is either still or blank, so as to avoid distracting nearby drivers. An electronic system (135) provides various aspects that augment sign operation such as GPS, reception of signage information for use in particular locations, advertiser billing information based on sign usage, and collection and reporting of demographics that aid advertisers in maximizing their impact.
A closet or enclosure 100 (closet) fit into an attic. A panel (110) forms the bottom of the closet. The panel can be lowered to the living space below manually or by using a return spring or electrical means. The panel holds a cabinet, box, or other storage item (105 or 2225). Air space (150) around the cabinet or items insulates it from thermal contact with the walls. Alternatively a cabinet is hung from a restraining member (145), or arm (1105), so it can be raised for storage and lowered for access. In this aspect, the panel is secured to the bottom of the cabinet. Optional vents (155) and fan (160) urge circulation between the air space and the living space, reducing temperature extremes in the air space and hence the cabinet. In other aspects, air treatment units (HVAC, dehumidifier, etc.) condition the air within the closet or enclosure.

A closet can fit into an attic and a cabinet (105) can be retracted out of the closet to the living space below manually, or using a return spring or electrical means. An air space (150) around the cabinet insulates it from thermal contact with the walls. A panel (110) with vent openings (155) is affixed to the bottom of the cabinet. In an alternative embodiment the cabinet is hung from a restraining member (145), or arm (1105), by which it can be raised for storage and lowered for access. When raised, the panel is in contact with the ceiling (110) between the attic and air from the living space mixes into the air space by convection. A fan (160) can urge circulation between the air space and the living space, reducing of temperature extremes in the air space and hence the cabinet.
