  • Patent number: 10738941
    Abstract: A TV wall mounting device includes a wall mount box with vertical supports, a display mount receiving a TV, and an extending/contracting portion between the box and the display mount. The extending/contracting portion has lower and upper arms rotatably attached to the wall mount with rear axles, a pair of linear actuators rotatably attached to the wall mount, a front portion that rises and lowers with action of the actuators, and a horizontally-swiveling portion that is raised and lowered with the front portion and is capable of rotating right-left with respect to the front portion. The display mount is attached to the horizontally-swiveling portion. Parallel operation of the linear actuators, wherein each actuator extends and retracts while keeping the same length as the other actuator, causes the display mount to go up and down. Differential operation of the actuators causes the display mount to rotate right and left.

  • Patent number: 10724655
    Abstract: Low-PIM polymeric cable support brackets are used to support cables feeding antennas and other types of equipment at cellular base stations (cell sites). A variety of polymeric mounting brackets, cable ties, cable support blocks, and stackable hangers are used to eliminate loose fitting metal-to-metal contact points that tend to create PIM. The mounting bracket body may include standoff features allowing the same bracket to securely attach to poles of different diameter, an external hex profile for receiving a wrench, and a fitted receptacle for receiving a bracket end fastener to facilitate installation. Polymeric cable ties fed through cable slots in the mounting bracket may be positioned to prevent the bracket end fastener from falling out of the fitted receptacle. The low-PIM cable support brackets are suitable for use within one carrier wavelength behind and around base station antennas where conventional cable brackets have been identified as problematic PIM interference sources.

  • Patent number: 10728433
    Abstract: An assembly allowing a user to adjust a relative positioning of an imaging portal of a lens attached to an electronic device relative to the viewing portal of a lens of an optical device. The assembly is made up of a planar adjustment unit having multiple plates that frictionally interface with one another such that they allow movement by a user. The components of the planar adjustment unit are held together by at least one elastically deformable element that passes through the channels in the sliding plates of the planar adjustment unit. The at least one elastically deformable element holds the planar adjustment unit together in tension such that the assembled plates may still slide with respect to one another, but remain in place by static friction when not moved by a user. The planar adjustment unit may be further combined with components allowing for three-dimensional adjustment of an imaging portal of a lens attached to an electronic device relative to a viewing portal of a lens of an optical device.
