  • Patent number: 9594125
    Abstract: A rack receptacle loadbank testing system is disclosed for testing a power supply system in a data center from receptacles through a corresponding power distribution unit during both primary and secondary power source conditions. The testing system can include a portable loadbank cart and optionally one or more manual power source switches. The cart can include plural power cords that plug into plural rack receptacles at the same time, and includes a loadbank, a switch for coupling the loadbank to individual power cords, a power analyzer to detect high frequency voltage transients in the power circuitry, and a user interface to control the testing equipment. The power source switch is operable to switch between a first power source feeding the power distribution unit coupled to the rack receptacles, and a second power source feeding the power distribution unit.

  • Patent number: 7257920
    Abstract: The present invention comprises a reflective surface used in conjunction with an aiming device that provides the user targeting information on a surface directly on the aiming device. The reflective surface is moveably mounted directly behind the aiming device, where a user's eye would normally be positioned. In this configuration, a user, positioned at a point not directly behind the aiming device or system being used, may move the mirror to an angle appropriate to see where the system is being aimed, as indicated, on the surface of the aiming device.

  • Publication number: 20060255118
    Abstract: A computer-readable medium has stored thereon presentation instrument account data relating to a particular customer. The computer-readable medium is deliverable via mail to a physical address of the customer. The presentation instrument account data comprises a selection of account data from a database of account data for a plurality of presentation instrument accounts, relating to a plurality of presentation instrument issuers and a plurality of customers. The presentation instrument data is selected according to criteria that defines specific account data that the customer requests to receive.

  • Patent number: 6625436
    Abstract: A heterodyne radio receiver, having a broadband IF, in which the outputs from the second down-conversion mixer of the receiver are high pass filtered to select unwanted signals and low pass filtered to select wanted signals, the unwanted signals being up-converted to IF in an up-conversion mixer, phase shifted and added in anti-phase to an input or inputs of the second down-conversion mixer.

  • Patent number: 6327485
    Abstract: A folding mobile phone with incorporated antenna is disclosed. A folding mobile phone comprises a first and second housings connected by a hinge mechanism each other. A first conductive film is incorporated with the first housing, and a second conductive film is incorporated with the second housing. When the mobile phone is in an open position a monopole antenna is constituted by the first and second conductive films, when the mobile phone is in a closed position the second conductive film acts as a ground plane.

  • Patent number: 6266538
    Abstract: An antenna for a folding mobile phone comprises two main sections connected by a hinge mechanism. When the mobile phone is in the open position (the normal operating position), the antenna comprises a planar conducting sheet combined with a slotted plate and acts as a monopole. When the mobile phone is in the closed position (the standby position), the antenna comprises the slotted plate acting as a slot antenna with the planar conducting sheet forming a reflector.

  • Patent number: 6147649
    Abstract: The antenna comprises a single rectangular sheet of copper which has been bent firstly to produce a first patch antenna section 1 and secondly to produce a second patch antenna section 3, sections 1 and 3 being joined by and contiguous with section 2. Section 2 is an integral part of the copper sheet and maintains the two sections 1 and 3 in substantially parallel spaced relationship with each other. An air gap 4 exists between sections 1 and 3. Other low absorption insulators may be used in place of air gap 4 and may be selected from a range of such insulators well known in the art. The antenna is backed by a ground plane 6 and is fed by means of a coaxial connector 5 to the distal edge of the larger patch at 7 where excitation of the antenna is effected.
