Abstract: A plug-in network device is disclosed. The plug-in network device can be used in association with a network management system and an infrastructure network device. The plug-in network device includes two antenna arrays, one of which is up-facing and one of which is front-facing. The plug-in network device can achieve wireless communication with the infrastructure network device via the up-facing antenna array and provide network services to wireless stations through the front-facing antenna array. The network management system can manage both the infrastructure network device and the plug-in network device.

Abstract: A device with a plug attachment; a power plug extending from the plug attachment; adjustable power tongs; a fastening mechanism configured to fasten the power plug to the adjustable power tongs; a plug attachment cover operationally connected to the adjustable power tongs; electronic components coupled to the power plug through which power is provided from a power source to the electronic components, the electronic components causing the plug-in network device to function as a wireless access point (WAP).

Abstract: A stand for holding a desktop computer includes a base, a platter mounted for rotation to the base, an arm extending upwardly from the base, and a clip releasably secured to the arm. The computer, having a back with an upstanding lip forming a pocket between the lip and the back, is received on the platter. The clip has a catch that extends downward along the arm, defining a space above the platter between the arm and the clip, and which overlaps the lip of the desktop computer, receives the pocket between the clip and the arm, and clamps the bottom of the computer against the platter.

Abstract: According to one embodiment of the invention, a wireless network device comprises wireless logic and a heat dissipation unit that encases the wireless logic. The heat dissipation unit includes an antenna dome array that comprises a top surface having a convex-shaped outer periphery with a plurality of antenna elements positioned along the outer periphery.
