  • Patent number: 8570224
    Abstract: Apparatus providing thermal management for radio frequency devices. An antenna is provided that includes an antenna body configured for transmitting electrical signals, and one or more mounting surfaces coupled to the antenna body, the one or more mounting surfaces configured for mounting to a device surface so that a resulting thermal resistance (Rth) between the device surface and the antenna body is less than 15 degrees centigrade per watt. The antenna body forms one of a PIFA antenna, whip antenna, patch antenna, or a meandered patch antenna.

  • Publication number: 20080103722
    Abstract: The specification and drawing figures describe and show an on-board temperature/humidity sensing device that includes an enclosure. The enclosure contains a circuit board. A sensor is mounted on the surface of the circuit board. The sensor is capable of monitoring environmental data within the enclosure. The sensor is operatively connected to a microprocessor with programmable sensor data acquisition capabilities capable of capable of establishing monitored threshold limits of environmental properties within the enclosure, monitoring, and transmitting environmental data to a remote data collector.

  • Publication number: 20080064420
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for copying a message sent to a vehicle and routing the copied message to the vehicle driver's mobile phone. Through a driver notification application, the copied message can contain driver identification or driver phone number information that is evaluated and confirmed for forwarding the copied message. The copied message is formatted and is sent to the driver's mobile phone via short message service (SMS).

  • Patent number: RE40294
    Abstract: A wet-wiping printhead cleaning system for inkjet printer incorporating a wiper for wiping the printhead including a treatment fluid applicator configured for placing treatment fluid onto at least one element of the printhead and wiper elements involved in wiping the printhead orifice plate surface, the treatment fluid being placed on said at least one element by direct contact of the applicator, subsequently the wiper wipes the printhead, the treatment being available to enhance cleaning effectiveness, the treatment fluid lubricating the wiper so as to lengthen wiper service life and enhance wiping performance, as well as acting to render unwanted accumulations on the printhead more removable by wiping.
