Abstract: A tray for positioning elongated objects each having a body and a flange. The tray includes a plate with openings and bearing surfaces. At least one first bearing surface is near a first opening and located at a first distance from the plate of the tray, and at least one second bearing surface is near a second opening adjacent the first opening and located at a second distance from the plate of the tray. The second distance is different from the first distance. The first and second openings are located at a distance with respect to one another such that the flange of a first elongated object engaged in one of these openings is able to partially overlap the flange of a second elongated object engaged in the other of these openings without contact between the flange of the first elongated object and the flange of the second elongated object.

Abstract: A wireless communication system (20) includes a base station (22) that is capable of communicating with a plurality of mobile stations (24). The base station includes a modular device (50) that allows flexibility in locating the various operative electronic components (52, 54, 56, 58) of the base station. Disclosed examples include a radio frequency head module (55) that packages components traditionally associated and located with a radio in a manner that allows them to be located with the Tx and Rx portions of the radio or at a remote location. One example includes a radio frequency coupling for communications between the radio (54) and the radio frequency head module (55). Other examples include intermediate frequency couplings (70, 74).

Abstract: A wireless communication system (20) includes a base station (22) and remotely located radio frequency units (30, 32). A passive antenna arrangement (60) associated with each radio frequency unit conveniently and economically provides radio frequency coverage within otherwise difficult-to-reach areas. Disclosed examples include radio frequency units at various locations within a building (50) that is effectively divided into sectors served by the base station.

Abstract: A wireless communication system (20) utilizes a first frequency from a bandwidth provided by a base station (24) for communications between the base station (24) and mobile stations (26, 28) using at least one intermediary transceiver (42-52). The intermediary transceivers receive communications from at least one of the mobile stations (26, 28) or the base station (24) on the first frequency and transmit that communication on the first frequency. The intermediary transceivers (42-52) also transmit a corresponding relaying communication on a second frequency from the bandwidth provided by the base station (24). In this example, the second frequency along with other frequencies from the base station bandwidth provides wireless backhaul for communications between the intermediary transceivers, which are strategically located to extend coverage within a desired area, such as the interior of a building.

Abstract: A base transceiver station includes at least one base band unit and at least one radio frequency unit. The base transceiver station also includes a wireless link for coupling the baseband unit with the radio frequency unit. The baseband and radio frequency units may be spaced, in one example, at a distance of about 500 meters. In support of the wireless link, the base band unit(s) may comprise a multi-headed air interface antenna (e.g., one or more antenna heads per sector). The multi-headed air interface antenna may be tuned to support a data rate of at least 100 Mbps, and may comprise wideband and/or narrowband characteristics. Moreover, the radio frequency unit(s) may comprises an RF antenna for supporting the wireless link. The RF antenna may be tuned to support a data rate of at least 100 Mbps and also may comprise wideband and/or narrowband characteristics.

Abstract: A wireless communication system (20) includes a base station controller (22) that receives timing information from a data set (26) that is generated by a neural network (28). The data set (26) allows for generating timing information based upon previous time information received from a GPS (24) and in one example, is capable of covering a time interval of up to two weeks during which effective communication with the GPS may be interrupted. In one example, the data set is continuously updated so that the base station controller (24) continuously has up to two weeks of future time information available.

Abstract: An electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding enclosure includes a base having a first threaded lip. A cover has a second threaded lip. The second threaded lip screws onto the first threaded lip and attaches the cover to the base. The base is provided with a first inner recessed wall and the cover is provided with a second inner recessed wall. When the cover is screwed onto the base, the first and second recessed walls form a hollow cavity within the EMI shielding enclosure. The hollow cavity has a curvilinear profile in cross section, such as an ellipsoidal profile, which improves the EMI attenuation characteristics of the EMI shielding enclosure.
