  • Publication number: 20240007201
    Abstract: Antenna monitoring systems and methods can include, among other things, a transmitter near each of the antennas in a distributed antenna system (DAS). The transmitter can transmit an antenna identifier corresponding to that antenna, so that the various transmitters in the DAS each transmit different antenna identifiers. These antenna identifiers can be detected by a receiver and can be processed to determine whether any antenna identifiers are missing. If any expected antenna identifier is missing, the receiver can infer that the antenna or a component associated with the antenna (such as cabling) may have failed. The receiver can then output an indication or notification that may be accessed by maintenance personnel and/or emergency personnel to enable them to identify and repair the non-functioning antenna or component. The transmitter can transmit other data, such as environmental data, RF data, or the like, to facilitate additional or alternative monitoring functionality.

  • Publication number: 20220190452
    Abstract: A battery module includes module first and second terminals of opposing polarity. The module houses an array of electrochemical cells and includes a first bus bar that electrically connects the cell first terminals of at least a subset of the cells to the module first terminal, and a second bus bar that electrically connects the cell second terminals of the subset of the cells to the module second terminal. A first electrical connector electrically connects the first bus bar to a cell first terminal of each cell of the subset of the cells. The first electrical connector has a first current carrying capacity. A second electrical connector electrically connects the second bus bar to a cell second terminal of each cell of the subset of the cells. The second electrical connector has a second current carrying capacity. The first current carrying capacity is different than the second current carrying capacity.

  • Patent number: 10594412
    Abstract: This disclosure describes example antenna monitoring systems and methods that can include, among other things, a transmitter near each of the antennas in a distributed antenna system (DAS). The transmitter can transmit on a certain frequency or channel corresponding to that antenna, so that the various transmitters in the DAS each transmit on different frequencies. These frequencies can be detected by a receiver and can be processed to determine whether a signal at any frequency or channel expected to be received is missing. If any expected signal is missing for any frequency or channel, the receiver can infer that the antenna or a component associated with the antenna (such as cabling) may have failed. The receiver can then output an indication or notification that may be accessed by maintenance personnel and/or emergency personnel to enable them to identify and repair the non-functioning antenna or component.
