International Classification:

H01R 13627

US Classification:

439353, 439701

Abstract:

A cable holder is described that includes a connector holder that is configured to receive several cable connectors each of which are attached to a cable. The cable holder also includes one or more latch bars that are connected to the connector holder and configured to enable a user to interact with each latch bar so as to depress a tab on each of the cable connectors which enables the user to insert at the same time all of the cable connectors into a connector. Thereafter, the user can interact with each latch bar so as to depress a tab on each of the cable connectors which enables the user to remove at the same time all of the cable connectors from the connector.

US Classification:

343805, 343795, 343797, 343815, 343819, 343821

Abstract:

An antenna comprising a reflective surface; and an array of dipole antenna elements disposed adjacent to the reflective surface. Each antenna element has a pair of arms which together define a dipole axis, and the dipole axis is tilted at an acute angle with respect to the reflective surface. The pair of arms may be dipole arms, or may be Yagi director arms. In some embodiments the dipole axis is tilted at an acute angle with respect to a feed axis. In some embodiments the antenna element comprises a feed portion defining a feed axis; and the feed portion has a mounting portion which is tilted at an acute angle with respect to the feed axis.

Zoya Balter - Plano TX, US

Assignee:

ANDREW LLC - Hickory NC

International Classification:

H01Q 1/42
H01P 11/00

US Classification:

343872, 29600

Abstract:

A housing for an antenna has an end member having a radome seat and a back extension. The end member also has at least one actuator housing with an external opening and an internal opening. The end member has no through passage from its external side to its internal side, other than the opening of the actuator housing, such that upon assembly with a back and a radome, the antenna is water-tight. A retention assembly has an internal retaining member and an internal retaining member receiver. An actuator has an external actuation interface, and is mounted in the actuator housing to be water-tight. The retention assembly has a first position and a second position. The first position engages the internal retaining member with the internal retention receiver such as to maintain a closed water-tight engagement with the back and the radome. The retention assembly has a second, released position, that allows disengagement of the end member from a reflector tray.

International Classification:

H01P 1/18

US Classification:

333161

Abstract:

An improved phase shifter assembly is provided. The phase shifter assembly may comprise first and second sub-assemblies with certain common actuating elements. In one example, a first phase shifter sub-assembly is provided, the first phase shifter sub-assembly including a first phase shifter carrier, a first phase shifter printed circuit board mounted on the first phase shifter carrier, a first wiper printed circuit board coupled to an input of the first phase shifter printed circuit board and having at least a first end coupled to transmission lines on the first phase shifter printed circuit board, and at least one wiper support mechanically coupling the first wiper printed circuit board to the first phase shifter printed circuit board. A second phase shifter is similarly provided. Common actuating elements may include a pivot arm and a throw arm. The pivot arm may be rotatably mounted in the phase shifter assembly and be configured to engage a wiper support of at least one of the first and second phase shifter sub-assemblies. The throw arm may be mounted such that when the throw arm is moved linearly, the pivot arm rotates around a pivot.

US Classification:

361695, 622592, 454184

Abstract:

The compact PCI cabinet includes an inlet port for receiving external air, a set of blowers for drawing the air into the cabinet and for expelling the air from an exhaust port of the cabinet after having cooled internal active circuits, and a plurality of louvers and openings that create thermal convection within a back portion of the compact PCI cabinet to cool active components coupled to the back side of the back plain of the compact PCI system. Additionally, a plurality of perforated air openings located approximately at the bottom and back side of a side panel of the compact PCI cabinet also is included to conduct an receive some air from the external environment. Openings are formed between a plurality of card guides located approximately at the top of the back side of the back portion of the PCI cabinet for conducting air in and out of the back portion of the cabinet. A pin field coupled to a heat sink is placed in the air path between the blowers and the openings through which the air may be conducted into the back portion of the compact PCI cabinet to reduce the exhaust air temperature. Finally, the invention includes a thermistor placed in the exhaust path so that the fan speed of the blowers maybe adjusted according to the temperature of the exhaust after passing through the pin field.
