  • Publication number: 20080074289
    Abstract: A system including a master controller, a plurality of wireless nodes dispersed in a geographic area and a plurality of traffic signal lights dispersed in the geographic area. The traffic signal lights are communicatively coupled to the master controller via the plurality of wireless nodes. Each wireless node in the plurality of wireless nodes is associated with a distinct Internet protocol address and a wireless communication link provides Internet protocol based communication between the plurality of wireless nodes and the master controller. The plurality of wireless nodes receives control data packets for the communicatively coupled traffic signal lights from the master controller via the wireless communication link. The control data packets comprise the distinct Internet protocol address and operational instructions for at least one traffic signal light communicatively coupled to the wireless node and each traffic signal light is responsive to the operational instructions in the control data packets.

  • Patent number: 6919782
    Abstract: A cavity filter assembly is provided with at least one structural cavity wall comprising a circuit board. The circuit board may also contain other circuits and circuit elements such as trim capacitors, inductors, low noise amplifier circuits and power amplifiers that are part of the filter's function. Input and output coupling structures and connectors may also be provided on the circuit board. The circuit board may contain inter-stage coupling circuits, signal traces, and coupling pads/structures. Further embodiments are provided that incorporate test connectors and directional couplers on the circuit board. In yet other embodiments the filter's electrical characteristics are tunable with trim elements mounted on the circuit board, such as capacitors or inductors, in either mechanical or electrical manner. The filter's electrical characteristics may also be tunable with mechanical elements mounted through the circuit board.
