  • Plug
    Patent number: 7048547
    Abstract: A printed-circuit board is formed at a front edge with a cutout. A plug has a base body adapted to fit in the cutout and formed with a pair of shoulders bearing flatly on the board at edges of the cutout. A pair of wing-shaped connecting elements project oppositely from the body and lie flatly on the board adjacent the edges of the cutout so that the elements can be soldered to the board to fix the base body in the cutout.

  • Plug
    Publication number: 20050112911
    Abstract: The invention relates to a plug (1), comprising a base body (3) and contact elements, running in the interior of the base body (3). On the opposing sides of the external wall of the base body (3), two wing-shaped connector elements (8) open out, which project over the rear side of the base body (3). The undersides of the connector elements (8) form contact surfaces for the production of soldered connections to a circuit board (2).

  • Antenna for satellite reception
    Patent number: 6795024
    Abstract: An antenna for receiving electromagnetic waves, the antenna including a resonator having an electrically conductive bottom, an electrically conductive top, and an electrically nonconductive section between an electrically conductive side wall and the electrically conductive top. The electrically conductive bottom being in electrical contact with the electrically conductive side wall, which extends from the electrically conductive bottom to a grounding surface. The resonator having a dielectric disposed in an interior volume.
