  • Patent number: 10088098
    Abstract: A device is provided for mounting an object to a base. The device includes a lattice having a first number of rails orientated along a first direction coupled to a second number of rails orientated along a second direction. The device includes a first region with mount holes configured to attach the object to the lattice. The device also includes a second region configured to attach to the base. The device also includes fasteners configured to rotatably couple the first number of rails to the second number of rails at intersections of the first number of rails and the second number of rails such that the device is foldable.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9762007
    Abstract: An RF connector is provided. The connector includes a first socket member. The first socket member includes a conductive sleeve and end cap. The conductive sleeve includes a top portion, a bottom portion, and a plurality of springs connecting the top portion and the bottom portion. A base inside the conductive sleeve includes a first matching hole configured to match to a first conductive pin of a first plug member. The end cap includes a base and a lip. In a first position, the top portion of the conductive sleeve contacts the base of the end cap and is partially enclosed by the lip of the end cap. The end cap prevents the removal of the conductive sleeve in the first position.
