  • Patent number: 7852271
    Abstract: A wireless field device is disclosed. The wireless field device includes an enclosure having a processor disposed within the enclosure. A power module may also be located inside the enclosure and be coupled to the processor. A wireless communication module is operably coupled to the processor and is configured to communicate using radio-frequency signals. An antenna is coupled to the wireless communication module. A radome mounted to the electronics enclosure is formed of a polymeric material. The radome has a chamber inside that contains the antenna.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20070138602
    Abstract: A field hardened industrial device is described with a housing of the device having electrically conductive walls surrounding a cavity with an open end. An electronics assembly is adapted to fit within the cavity. The device includes a circuit card assembly, which is a multi-layered printed wiring board with pass-through electrical connections and an embedded ground plane electrically coupled to the housing to shield the electronics assembly from electromagnetic interference and to provide environmental protection to the electronics assembly.

  • Publication number: 20070107525
    Abstract: An overpressure vent in a transmitter housing of a process transmitter. The transmitter is configured for coupling to an industrial process and measuring a process variable. The transmitter includes an enclosure having a cavity formed therein. A process coupling is configured to couple the cavity to the industrial process. The overpressure vent is arranged to vent an overpressure in the cavity to outside of the transmitter enclosure.
