  • Device for making RF and data connection to a satellite subscriber unit
    Patent number: 6091368
    Abstract: An accessory (100) for docking a handset (1010) of a SSU and providing a connection to the SSU's antenna (1210) or a different antenna. The accessory (100) includes a first power/data connector (115) and the handset (1010) includes a second power/data connector (1014). The accessory (100) also includes a rotating rotating antenna coupler (130) whereby when the coupler (130) is in a first position, the handset (1010) can be placed in a recess (112) of the accessory (100) and coupled to a first connector (320). When the coupler (130) is rotated to a second position, the handset (1010) moves in a direction perpendicular to the coupler's axis of rotation until the second power/data connector (1014) mates with the first power/data connector (115), thereby locking the handset (1010) in the accessory (100). Once the handset (1010) is locked in the accessory (100), an antenna (1210) can be connected to a second connector (340) in the coupler (130).

    Patent number: 5949020
    Abstract: A clip (100) for securing a cable (202) and shield (216) to a surface (209) of a printed wiring board (208) includes a retainer (102) and a shield clip (112). The retainer includes a first side wall (104) and a second side wall (106) joined by a base (105). The side walls and base define a channel (108) sized to retain the cable. The shield clip extends from the retainer and is spaced from the retainer to retain a wall of the shield between the retainer and the shield clip. The retainer further includes a flange (110) for mounting to the surface of the printed wiring board.
