Patent number: 11688947Abstract: Antenna systems have an RF connector, a PCB dipole antenna, and a radome. The RF connector provides a direct connection to the PCB and limits PIM. An omni-directional WiFi antenna has a pair of horizontal dipole antennas on a PCB having different wavelengths and same frequency. An omni-directional UMTS dual antenna has a vertical arrangement of two independent antennas on a PCB and has a jumper printed circuit board connecting the RF connector to the upper antenna. Corresponding connectors, radomes, and ways of combining antenna elements on a single PCB are also disclosed. A single frequency omnidirectional antenna includes both half and full wavelength dipole elements. A plus-shaped radome enhances the omnidirectional radiation pattern of the enclosed antenna. A jumper printed circuit board allows independent antennas on a single circuit board without the degradation of internal coaxial connections.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 2020Date of Patent: June 27, 2023Assignee: RLSmith Holdings LLCInventors: Richard Loy Smith, Jr., Jerry Douglas Leopold

Patent number: 6015352Abstract: An apparatus for practicing chip shots in the game of golf includes a base member that is secured to the ground by a stake. A pair of reels are rotatably mounted on the base member and an elongate flexible cord is wound about each reel. A preselected amount of each cord is unwound from its reel and extended at a preselected angle relative to the base member to a remote target area defined by an annular ring of predetermined diameter. A hook is secured to the free end of each cord, and the hook is detachably connected to an upright stake positioned within the preselected target area. Chip shots are practiced by hitting a special, light weight ball along a path of travel denoted by the cords. In a preferred method, the special ball is placed in the vicinity of a preselected target area and hit toward the base member along a first path of travel denoted by a cord means.Type: GrantFiled: December 31, 1997Date of Patent: January 18, 2000Assignee: D.J.
