  • Patent number: 11056788
    Abstract: A fabrication method of a dual-band antenna array. The dual-band antenna array may comprise a trace split, a first frequency branch, and a second frequency branch. The trace split may feed the first frequency branch and the second frequency branch. The first frequency branch may comprise a first frequency branch geometry that may cause a majority of a current of a signal fed into the trace split to feed the second frequency branch when the signal comprises a second frequency. The second frequency branch may comprise a second frequency branch geometry that may cause the majority of the current of the signal fed into the trace split to feed the first frequency branch when the signal comprises a first frequency.

  • Patent number: 8837157
    Abstract: In one embodiment, an apparatus includes a housing with a conductive surface. A circuit board may be positioned within the housing. The circuit board includes a deflectable portion that may be movable relative to the housing. A conductive pad is positioned on the deflectable portion of the circuit board. A spring member is positioned between the housing and the circuit board. The spring member may be movable between a first configuration and a second configuration. The conductive pad of the circuit board may be spaced away from the conductive surface of the housing by the spring member in the first configuration and in contact with the conductive surface of the housing with the spring member in the second configuration.

  • Patent number: 6710325
    Abstract: A mounting apparatus for mounting optics of a light curtain. The apparatus includes a light curtain optics housing and a mounting bracket. The housing includes a curved mounting surface that extends along a portion of a length of the housing. The mounting bracket is connected to the curved mounting surface such that the mounting bracket can be longitudinally adjusted with respect to the optics housing. The mounting bracket includes a curved surface and an adjustment slot that allow for rotational adjustment with respect to the mounting bracket.

  • Patent number: 6022004
    Abstract: A self-lubricating cylinder assembly for use in a press operable in an upright orientation and in an inverted orientation. The cylinder assembly contains a working fluid under pressure and lubricating oil. The cylinder assembly includes a cylinder body that has sidewalls that terminate in an opening at a first end and an end wall at a second end. The cylinder assembly further includes an interior wall assembly that connects to the cylinder body and has walls that extend within the cylinder body to the end wall. The wall assembly walls are preferably formed of a cylinder liner in connection with an insert. The cylinder liner has a piston mounted for reciprocal motion therebetween. A variable volume wall assembly space is defined as a space between the piston, the wall assembly walls and the housing end wall. An expansion reservoir is defined as a space between the side walls of the cylinder body, the wall assembly walls and the cylinder body end wall.
