Abstract: A multi-port configuration system includes a network switch including a plurality of ports and a user device that is configured to couple to the network switch. Each of the plurality of ports is configured to operate in at least one of a plurality of modes. A congruent graphical representation of the network switch is displayed on the user device, and a selection of a group of ports of the plurality of ports is received. Based on the received selection of the group of ports, available configuration settings for the group of ports are displayed on the user device. A configuration settings selection, selected from the available configuration settings, for configuring the group of ports is received. The configuration settings selection is provided to the network switch to configure the group of ports.

Abstract: A flip cover assembly for an apparatus having an apparatus housing includes a cam member rotatably attached to the apparatus housing, a flip cover attached to the cam member for rotating with the cam member, and structure formed in the apparatus housing for urging the cam member and thus the flip cover toward one of an open position and a closed position in accordance with a relative position of the cam member. The cam member includes at least two dwell surfaces disposed on opposite sides of a raised surface. The dwell surfaces engage the urging structure in the open and closed positions, respectively, and the raised surface of the cam member engages the urging structure in an opening/closing position between the open and closed positions. The arrangement provides a positive "feel" for the open and closed positions, and by using a cam mechanism, multiple variations on flip cover feel and motion can be achieved. Moreover, the simplified structure reduces manufacturing time and costs.

Abstract: A flexible telescoping antenna is constructed of plastic tubular sections telescoping between an end section and a compact antenna. Conducting inserts are provided within the tubular sections and enable electrical contact at any extraction interval of the antenna. The antenna utilizing plastic telescoping sections allows maximum mechanical deflection and thereby resists breakage while providing optimum electrical performance.

Abstract: An improved RF shielding apparatus includes a shield frame having a nonconductive gasket mounted to the edges thereof. A conductive layer is deposited on the gasket and shield frame such that a substantially continuous layer surrounds the gasket and shield frame.

Abstract: An improved RF antenna connector providing a shielded RF connection point is disclosed. The improved antenna connector consist of a metal housing which substantially surrounds a metal contact acting as an RF feed point connector. The metal contact is placed within the housing by connection to an insulating connector that slides into a chamber in the housing such that the metal contact is located within and substantially surrounded by the housing. The metal contact is also positioned to contact the RF feed points of an antenna and a printed circuit board.
