Abstract: Described is a modular access point for wireless communications. The access point includes a housing which has at least one module receiving slot and a first wireless communication radio. The radio communicates with a first wireless device via a first frequency band. The access point also includes a removable module configured for insertion into the module receiving slot. The module includes a second communication radio utilizing a second frequency band so that, when the removable module is inserted into the slot, the access point is capable of communicating with a second wireless device via at least one of the first and second frequency bands. The access point includes a plurality of antenna connectors which are connected to the first and second radios. The access point may utilize external antennas or internal antenna modules which interchangeably attachable to the antenna connectors.

Abstract: One or more emitter electrodes of an ion wind fan can be held in tension by using a slider mechanism in contact with a compression spring. In one embodiment, an ion wind fan has an isolator with a cavity, and the slider movably located in the cavity. The fan further includes a spring located in the cavity, so that the slider compresses the spring when the slider moves in the cavity. An emitter wire is then attached to the isolator and to the slider so that the emitter is in tension.
