attendant control lcd panel made in china

(Reuters) - Foxconn Technology Group is reconsidering plans to make advanced liquid crystal display panels at a $10 billion Wisconsin campus, and said it intends to hire mostly engineers and researchers rather than the manufacturing workforce the project originally promised.

Foxconn, which received controversial state and local incentives for the project, initially planned to manufacture advanced large screen displays for TVs and other consumer and professional products at the facility, which is under construction. It later said it would build smaller LCD screens instead.

Rather than a focus on LCD manufacturing, Foxconn wants to create a “technology hub” in Wisconsin that would largely consist of research facilities along with packaging and assembly operations, Woo said. It would also produce specialized tech products for industrial, healthcare, and professional applications, he added.

Rather than manufacturing LCD panels in the United States, Woo said it would be more profitable to make them in greater China and Japan, ship them to Mexico for final assembly, and import the finished product to the United States.

He said that would represent a supply chain that fits with Foxconn’s current “fluid, good business model.”FILE PHOTO: A shovel and FoxConn logo are seen before the arrival of U.S. President Donald Trump as he participates in the Foxconn Technology Group groundbreaking ceremony for its LCD manufacturing campus, in Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin, U.S., June 28, 2018.

SEOUL, March 31 (Reuters) - South Korean panel maker Samsung Display has decided to end all of its production of liquid crystal display (LCD) panels in South Korea and China by end of this year, a spokesperson said on Tuesday.

Samsung Display, a unit of South Korean tech giant Samsung Electronics Co Ltd, said in October that it suspended one of its two LCD production lines at home amid falling demand for LCD panels and a supply glut.

“We will supply LCD orders to our customers by end of this year without any issues”, the company said in a statement. (Reporting by Heekyong Yang; Editing by Kim Coghill)

When manually-controlled elevators were common before in 1920s, most Otis elevators at that time used old deadman controls, which is usually a car switch used by elevator operators to move the elevator car. If the crank is moved to the left, the elevator car would go down and if the crank is moved to the right, the elevator car would go up. Some elevators have a vintage hall call annunciator to announce elevator operator that a hall call outside has been registered on certain floors.

In the 1900s, Otis used black buttons that do not light up. These buttons are different from Lexan fixtures. The floor numbers are not on the buttons, they are on the panel. These fixtures were used in the UK. It is unknown if they were used in other countries.

These buttons look very similar to the touch sensitive buttons except that they are push buttons. They are usually only found in Australia, though at least one sighting of this style has been seen in New Zealand, and were used in the 1970s. There are three types of floor indicators used along with these buttons. One is an analogue display, one is a digital segmented display, and one is a green LED dot matrix display. In some cases, these fixtures are paired with standard Otis black buttons (the door controls are usually black non-Lexan buttons.)

These buttons look a bit similar to the Italian white buttons except that they are much bigger and have the same floor numbering font as the one used on Otis"s black and halo buttons. Sometimes Otis"s black buttons were also used along with these buttons as door control buttons or UP, DOWN and NON STOP/NS buttons. These buttons were used in Japan, as well as very few other countries in Asia, such as Indonesia.

These fixtures are used in Otis System 260 model (developed by Flohr Otis elevators in Germany. They are based on the Otis LM fixtures (see above). The buttons are round touch sensitive, with a black button plate. The door control and alarm buttons are pressure type. The floor indicator is usually a red LED dot matrix display.

Series 1 is fairly common, and is normally seen in Otis Elevonic 401 and some normal hydraulic and traction elevators in the 1980s. It has a very distinctive look. Normal Otis Series 1 buttons are raised off the elevator panel. It has black plastic trim with either a silver or bronze face plate. The indicator is slanted down towards the floor. Some elevators may also have a slanted up panel with some of the floor buttons on it. Elevators serving 4 floors or under have an analog floor indicator, while elevators serving more than 4 floors have a 16-segment vacuum fluorescent display (later LED display), most of them are colored green. Some Series 1 panel also have a horizontal bar below the floor indicator which displays scrolling text and information. It also has some custom installations which only have 2 rows of buttons for every panels and the floor indicator is located on the other way. Door control buttons are colored green and the alarm button is colored yellow.

The fixtures used in Otis Europa 2000 elevators features a very narrow car station, with only one row of buttons and a floor indicator. Some other installations may have wider panel with two rows of buttons. Door close buttons were usually not available, instead only a door open button is available as a standard feature. The call station is usually black with the button positioned vertically rather than horizontal. Some Europa 2000 elevators wth manual swing landing doors may have a special indicator with a green door icon that lights up when the car is on that floor; this is to indicate that the car is there and the landing door is unlocked.

In the mid 1980s, Otis updated these fixtures again. The buttons remained the same, but the interior floor indicator have been moved to the car station. All floor indicators have also been updated to LED 16-segment displays. Other changes include different directional arrows on the indicators and call buttons and new emergency (alarm and intercom) buttons. There are two types of car station for these fixtures; one is an angled aluminium panel, and the second one is just a flat steel panel. These fixtures were widely used in Otis Spec 60 elevators, but may also be used in Otis Elevonic 401 elevators.

The Otis 2000 fixtures came out in 1993 when the Otis 2000 elevator series was launched in Europe. These fixtures have a distinctive look, featuring curved surface mounted car stations with light fixtures on both sides of the panel (because the car celing does not have lights). These fixtures used the same silver coated concave buttons as the ones used in Series 3 fixtures, with green or red illuminating halo as well as oval shaped button plates for the car buttons. They could be push or touch sensitive

These fixtures came out in the late 1980s or early 1990s and were used in Japan and other Asian countries. They were developed and made by Nippon Otis Elevator in Japan. These fixtures consist of black or white square buttons with an orange illuminating halo. The floor indicator is a digital display with 16-segments numbers. In addition, Otis made three types of hall and car stations; the first one is just a basic steel panel, the second one is a white surface mounted panel, and the third one is a dark grey surface mounted panel. The arrival chimes used is the same as Mitsubishi. Hall lanterns, if present, are illuminating squares with the arrow printed on them. There was also an analog hall indicator, featuring illuminating squares with the number and arrow printed on them. A digital version was also available, featuring a 16-segment display. In Japan, these fixtures were used in Otis Spec Alsa, Spec Creses, Spec 90 and Elevonic 411 elevators throughout the 1990s.

The fixtures used on Otis Otilec and 300VFE elevators in Australia were clear plastic square or, rarely, circle buttons. Two variations were produced; the earlier versions have a more opaque lens, whereas the lenses used on newer Otilec buttons are more bevelled and transparent. The COP panels on Otilecs are mounted horizontally on the side wall, but those on 300VFEs possess a more traditional vertical mount on the front diagonal panel.

The 2000 fixtures in the Resista elevator design feature a vandal resistant look. They are similar to the Lumina design except that the buttons are vandal resistant concave. The buttons have braille plates with white scripted numbers or symbol, similar to the American Otis Series 5 fixtures. Colored LCD and yellow electro luminescent indicators, as well as flush mounted landing stations options were not available if these fixtures were used in elevators with Resista design

The Australian Otis 2000 fixtures are slightly different than the European version. These fixtures uses different braille plates for the buttons, and the panel is just a flat steel panel. The LCD indicator, however, remains unchanged, though the Otilec indicator was also an option.

Omega and Linea are a lineup of fixtures used in France for modernization. They are based on the Otis 2000 fixtures, using the same concave buttons and LCD floor indicators with segmented characters. Omega is a surface mounted car station, while Linea is a flush mounted car station that could also support one column of buttons to minimize space in the car, especially in older elevators with very small car. The landing fixtures are the same as the Otis 2000 fixtures used in the Otis 2000 and Gen2 elevators, and has a yellow electro luminescent (ELD) display as an option

Otis"s destination dispatch system, named Compass, replaces the conventional call buttons in the elevator lobby on each floor with either a wall-mounted keypad panel or large LCD touch display. It also replaces the floor buttons inside the cab, as the floor number is entered outside the cab, except for Hybrid Configuration where floor buttons inside are functional. For the wall-mounted keypad panel, it has the telephone-style keypad buttons and LCD screen above the buttons. Buttons inside the elevators varies.

These are round surfaced mounted buttons with blue halo, which are different from BR32A buttons. This fixture is often combined with a STN-LCD floor indicator display (see below).

These are 7" LCD-TFT displays with different types of background; UI 1, UI 2, UI 15, UI 16 and UI 18. UI 1 is similar to Otis Series 3"s electroluminescent display. There is also a plain blue ones with a simple white triangular arrow.

These are 10.4" LCD-TFT displays with different background types and multimedia. The series are UI 10, UI 11, UI 12 and UI 13. UI 13 is made by Hong Jiang Electronics (Taiwan), known as Multimedia System (EIMS) PNL-150

Otis Gen2 elevators in New Zealand and the Pacific use the Asian style concave button fixtures, which are the standard silver buttons on a flat, surface mounted panel with an LED segment floor indicator. Sometimes, other buttons have been used instead, but this is very rare. Sometimes Otis will use their blue and white LCD floor indicator on this design instead of the usual segment one. The buttons usually have a red halo, or occasionally green or blue. Otis offers the option to use their vandal-resistant version of concave buttons.

Otis sometimes use European-style blue and white LCD floor indicators on their Gen2 elevators. These are also the main style of indicator used for modernization.

There are two versions of LCD floor indicator; one having multicolor characters over a black background, and one having white segmented characters over a blue background. The latter is based on the European display. These indicators have a "ReGen" light which lights up when the Otis ReGen regenerative unit is working.

The landing fixtures remains the same as the original Otis 2000 fixtures. The car station has been redesigned, featuring a flat panel but retains its "futuristic" look with vertical LED lights on the sides. The buttons remains the same, but the braille plates have been replaced with illuminating tactiles and braille marks that are incorporated into the panel. A new rectangular LCD floor indicator with black background and white characters replaces the previous blue LCD displays. The yellow electro luminescent display option have also been discontinued. Otis also offers "eView" display, which is an LCD multimedia display that can be customized by owners using a special application developed by Otis. A lot of newer Otis Gen2 elevators in Spain use eView displays.

This is a car operating panel made by Otis Elevator Korea and is exclusive to South Korea. It features numerical keypads where people input their desired floor and LCD displays. It also supports prompt response feature to respond a floor numbers and it is connected to the Otis Line via the Video Line in case people get stuck in the elevator. The panel can be either black or chrome colored. It is based on the MiniTouch fixtures due to the similarity of the design

This is one of the two fixtures line (the other one is Flitch) used in the current Genesis elevators since the mid or late 2010s. Applica features a surface mounted car station with LCD floor indicator and push buttons made by Shanghai STEP

Flitch is another fixtures line used in the current Genesis elevators since the mid or late 2010s. It features a surface mounted car station with two curved LED lighting, concave buttons and LCD floor indicator

The Ambiance hall fixtures are large tile shaped call buttons that replaced conventional small concave buttons to make them easier to be pushed by using elbow, forearm or wrist. The design is meant to compete with Kone"s KSS 280 fixtures, which also feature large and easy to press call buttons. The buttons have tactile which light up white when pressed, and they are simply mounted on the wall without a stainless steel plate (unlike a conventional call button). The hall indicator and lantern feature an LCD display with white characters on a black display. These fixtures are currently available in Europe for the Gen2, as well as the new Gen3 and Gen360 "digital" elevators

Tech. Sgt. Pete Kana of the 1st Airlift Squadron and Staff Sgt. Danyoi Brown of the 99th Airlift Squadron are two of the approximately 215 special air mission flight attendants in the Air Force who fly not only American military and government leaders, but also world leaders.

The flight attendants cater to the distinguished leaders with world-class professionalism and service. While the president is the only one flown in Air Force One, all high-level passengers receive special attention flying in C-20, C-32, C-37A and the C-40B aircraft.

But the culinary selections are not randomly made. Before each mission, the flight attendants contact the distinguished visitor"s representative to make sure meals offered are to the liking of the DV. Flight attendants then go shopping before the flight to get the items specifically for the upcoming DV flight.

The flight attendants are in high demand, averaging about four missions a month that can range from a one-day mission, to a mission lasting beyond a week with flights spanning the globe. Missions come down straight from the White House and from the office of the Chief of Staff of the Air Force, and 89th AW members are on alert 24 hours a day, seven days a week operating the Executive Airlift Training Center and Government Network Operation Center.

"It all depends with what is going on in the world," said Sergeant Kana, who is a native of Pascataway, N.J. The former mission resource management NCO added it takes special Airmen to handle flight attendant duty.

Working with such high-level dignitaries, the flight attendants go through stringent scrutiny to make sure they can handle the duty and have what it takes to become fully qualified. Flight attendants represent the best of the Air Force, and both Sergeants Brown and Kana have stood out amongst their peers in their careers, as both have been awarded quarterly and yearly awards from their units.

Officials from the 89th AW are always looking for superior Airmen interested in joining the career field. Applicants have to go through a records review, flight physical, must obtain letters of recommendation and go through a security clearance just to be eligible.  Applicants are interviewed by a board of 89th AW members to determine if they have what it takes. After being selected, Airmen must go through the Enlisted Aviator Undergraduate Course, combat survival school, water survival school, and then complete the Flight Attendant Culinary and Egress Training school.

Being a flight attendant is "the best kept secret in the Air Force," Sergeant Brown said. "We get to meet our nation"s leaders, and we get to visit countries all over the world. I love flying. When we get up to cruising altitude, it is so peaceful up there. It"s my home up there."

Senior airmen at least 21 years of age can apply to apple to become a special air mission flight attendant by contacting Maj. Kurt Kremser at DSN 858-3844, or commercial 301-981-3844.
