Abstract: An apparatus for tracking a portable asset includes a solar panel, an electronics assembly integrated into an enclosure, and a heat spreading assembly adjacent the solar panel, the heat spreading assembly located to form an air gap separating the heat spreading assembly from the electronics assembly such that heat generated by the solar panel is dissipated in the air gap before reaching the electronics assembly.

Abstract: A system for securing a protective boot over a connector assembly is disclosed. The boot is designed to slide over a pair of mated cable connectors, one connector being panel mounted and the other being cable mounted. The protective boot is located axially along the cable and is positioned over the mated connectors until it is flush against the panel, preventing environmental elements from damaging the connectors. The protective boot is held firmly against the panel by a locking element located on the cable connector which engages a concentric groove located inside of the protective boot. The concentric groove is located at an appropriate distance away from the boot opening such that the locking element engages the groove just as the boot opening becomes flush against the mounting panel.
