Patent number: 7146147Abstract: A system and method for providing wireless communication services to passengers of an aircraft. An incoming signal is received from a base station at an external antenna on the aircraft. The incoming signal is converted to a low-energy signal type to be conveyed across a low-energy transmission medium. The low-energy signal may be light energy and the low-energy transmission medium may be a fiber optic cable, for example. The signal is converted to a signal type that can be transmitted into the passenger compartment for reception by one or more wireless handsets. Outgoing signals transmitted by the one or more wireless handsets may also be received and converted to low-energy signals for transmission on a low-energy signal path, which may be the same as or different from the incoming signal path. The outgoing signals may then be transmitted through an external antenna on the aircraft to be received by a base station.Type: GrantFiled: June 20, 2000Date of Patent: December 5, 2006Assignee: Sprint Spectrum L.P.Inventor: Anthony Sabatino

Patent number: 6735438Abstract: A system and method for providing wireless communication services to passengers of an aircraft through the use of a standard mobile telephone. A system of antennas on an air base station radiates above a horizontal plane in order to provide coverage for an aircraft flying through a service airspace. The air system may be conveniently overlaid on an existing terrestrial wireless system in order to share based station facilities. A stretched dome shaped antenna pattern provides 360 degrees of coverage in the horizontal plane. A cardioid direction antenna pattern in the horizontal plane provides coverage in a specific portion of the air space such as an air corridor. Various combinations of antennas, and transceivers are interconnected in order to provide the proper coverage, capacity and interference control requirements for a particular air cell.Type: GrantFiled: August 14, 2000Date of Patent: May 11, 2004Assignee: Sprint Spectrum, L.P.Inventor: Anthony Sabatino

Patent number: 4098961Abstract: A method of manufacturing a lead-acid storage battery capable of being stored after completing the battery processing and thereafter activated by the addition of water including coordinating the formation and processing of the battery elements with a deep discharge to provide residual sulfuric acid electrolyte within the battery elements with a desired specific gravity level and thereafter reducing the amount of the electrolyte in the battery to thereby retain a specified level of residual sulfuric acid electrolyte within the elements of the thus-processed battery. The battery is suitably sealed and may thereafter be stored; and, when desired for service, activation is accomplished by addition of water and suitably charging. The sulfate in the battery elements resulting from the deep discharge and the residual sulfuric acid electrolyte retained within the elements combine, upon the addition of water and recharge, to yield the required specific gravity of the electrolyte.Type: GrantFiled: February 11, 1977Date of Patent: July 4, 1978Assignee: Gould Inc.Inventor: Anthony Sabatino

Patent number: 4075399Abstract: A method of substantially sealing a lead-acid storage battery, capable of activation by the addition of electrolyte or water after storage, is provided which prevents excessive internal pressure build-up during the storage. In one embodiment, the substantial sealing is provided by a vent seal which can be formed with surfaces duplicating the diameter of the cell vent collar so that a conventional vent cap can be fitted and retained in place, substantially in the final operating position. When the substantial sealing is provided by means other than the vent seal, the seal, without the vent feature, serves to allow positioning of the normal battery vent caps in substantially their final operational positions. In the preferred embodiment, the vent seal includes a tear tab so that if accidentally replaced after removal and activation of the battery and partial separation of the tear tab, adequate venting of the gases generated within the battery such as would occur during charging is provided.Type: GrantFiled: June 4, 1975Date of Patent: February 21, 1978Assignee: Gould Inc.Inventors: Anthony Sabatino, Purushothama Rao
