Patent number: 11056824Abstract: A productive housing for a coaxial cable connector comprising an elastomeric housing disposed over and engaging a connector and having a plurality of longitudinal slots formed into the inner mold line (IML) surface of the elastomeric housing. The longitudinal slots function to reduce the surface area of frictional engagement between the intermediate surface and the corresponding peripheral surface of the coaxial cable connector. The longitudinal slots serve as a longitudinal passageway for the movement of trapped air from one IML surface to another so as to prevent the built-up of air and/or inducing a pocket of suction resisting the separation of the housing from the jumper cable.Type: GrantFiled: October 15, 2020Date of Patent: July 6, 2021Assignee: John Mezzalingua Associates, LLCInventors: Nikhil B. Meshram, Adam T. Nugent, Christopher P. Natoli, Brandon Stevens

Patent number: 10623073Abstract: A mounting arrangement for securing a remote radio unit in combination with a telecommunications tower or elevated structure for mounting a telecommunication antenna. The mounting arrangement includes a docking station comprising: (i) a control unit having at least two openings through an upper wall of the control unit for receiving each remote radio unit, (ii) a sealing gasket disposed about the periphery of each opening; (iii) at least one pair of guide rails projecting upwardly from the upper wall of the control unit and between the at least two openings, and (iv) a mechanism for producing a watertight seal between the control unit and each remote unit. The control unit defines an internal enclosure for housing an electronic interface configured to provide digital energy and exchange data between each remote unit and a base station. The guide rails of the docking station are configured to slidably receive, and guide each of the remote unit into the openings of the control unit.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2017Date of Patent: April 14, 2020Assignee: John Mezzalingua Associates, LLCInventors: Adam T.
