  • Patent number: 9393902
    Abstract: A transparent illuminated display system, typically for use in automobile race events, including a highly flexible and transparent PCB board with ultra-low profile LED's mounted to it. The flexible and transparent PCB boards can be in the shape of a single or multiple numeric or alphanumeric displays. The face of the display which would make contact with the face of a wind screen would include an adhesive element. The transparent illuminated display is mounted to a vehicle as a kind of sticker on the inside or outside of a racecar windscreen, back window and/or side windows. Each of the displays could be wired to power and data lines and illuminate the required numbers or text to show the position and other info of the car in the race.

  • Patent number: 9046601
    Abstract: An antenna attitude measuring system includes internal and external electrical components providing data for recording and displaying on a handheld device. The data can be transmitted to a database for access by a network operator. The antenna attitude can be adjusted for maximizing telecommunications network performance. The system includes an AISG compliant tilt sensor system mounted in-line between a telecommunications antenna enclosure and a communications cable, and positioned to measure the elevation tilt and slant of a telecommunications antenna enclosure relative to a reference axis. The system includes the ability to connect to and remotely control a plurality of remote electrical tilt control units through only a single connection.

  • Patent number: 8634823
    Abstract: A system and method for measuring and monitoring the transmitted power from cellular antennas, and reporting the measurement over AISG protocol back to the user. The device associated with this system and method is capable of retrofitting existing telecommunications antennas currently in use by connecting directly in-line with an AISG communication cable already interfaced with the antenna. The system will monitor the broadcast power level of the antenna and may optionally be set to provide the user with alerts when the power levels are not within ideal parameters.

  • Patent number: 8514145
    Abstract: A system and method for detecting and reporting telecommunications antenna identification data to a remote user location is presented. A telecommunications antenna module is provided for storing and transmitting antenna serial number, part number, version, firmware, production date, and other relevant data to a network operator over AISG and/or 3 GPP compliant communications systems. The module consists of a printed circuit board mounting a programmable device capable of storing and transmitting programmed antenna information. The module is adapted for connecting to antenna communications cables using either AISG cable splitter or in-line in a daisy chain fashion. The module is capable of connecting in-line with another antenna monitoring device to connect to the antenna. The device is programmed either in the field by a field technician or by the antenna manufacturer.

  • Patent number: 8299962
    Abstract: A system and method is for orientating and monitoring orientation of telecommunications antennas. The system includes an AISG compliant tilt sensor system mounted in-line between a telecommunications antenna enclosure and a communications cable, and positioned to measure the elevation tilt and slant of a telecommunications antenna enclosure relative to a reference axis. The tilt sensor system measures the angle of tilt and angle of slant of the enclosure with respect to a reference axis, and communicates the values through the communications cable using the AISG protocol for analysis by a telecommunications system operator. A printed circuit board with suitable microprocessor and circuitry receives and processes the tilt sensor data and reports directional alignment information to the user via a user interface.

  • Patent number: 8184050
    Abstract: An antenna alignment and monitoring system is provided for telecom antennas and includes a pair of global navigation satellite system (GNSS) antennas mounted on a printed circuit board (PCB) for installation in a telecom antenna enclosure. Multiple telecom antennas are configured in an antenna array for mounting on a transmission tower or other elevated structure. A common GNSS receiver cycles among the GNSS antenna pairs for initially aligning and subsequently monitoring the azimuth alignment of the telecom antennas relative to a reference azimuth using GNSS triangulation.
