Abstract: The present disclosure relates to antenna assemblies and systems and methods for steering an antenna to one or more satellites. An embodiment herein provides for an assembly comprising a rotatable plate rotatable about a first axis to steer the antenna in azimuth; a first panel affixed to the rotatable plate and comprising a first plurality of phased array antenna elements to steer a first beam of radio waves in elevation; and a second panel comprising a second plurality of phased array antenna elements configured to steer a second beam of radio waves in azimuth, wherein rotation of the distal end about the second axis steers the second beam of radio waves in elevation.

Abstract: An apparatus and system for providing wireless access to packet data networks and value-added services is disclosed. The wireless access integrated node (WAIN) offers a simplified internal architecture which eliminates unnecessary intermediate protocols contained in a multi-node hierarchical network architecture while still supporting the main functions of standard mobile networks and preserving standard external interfaces. The WAIN is essentially an integrated network element that provides local radio coverage and complements the capability of the public wireless network. The WAIN can automatically configure itself to minimize interference and achieve optimal performance.

Abstract: An improved spring controlled poppet-type cushion for a fluid piston-cylinder device, wherein the cushion is connected to the piston by spring means and aligned with the inlet-exhaust opening at the end of the cylinder. The improved cushion includes retaining structure for holding the spring associated with it in axial alignment with the opening for receipt therein as the piston approaches the end of the cylinder. This permits the piston to move into contact with the wall without interference from the spring. The sealing of the cushion within the opening in the end of the cylinder is effected at a point spaced axially from the piston when the latter is in contact with the end wall to provide an axial spacing between the cushion and piston.
