Patent number: 9490525Abstract: In one embodiment, an antenna system comprises a lower mast member that has a first transverse member mounted in an interior of the lower mast member. An upper mast member has a second transverse member mounted in the interior of the upper mast member. A resilient member establishes a movable connection between the lower mast member and the upper mast member, in which the upper mast member can form a pivot angle with respect to the lower mast member. The resilient member is secured or retained axially by the first transverse member and the second transverse member.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2014Date of Patent: November 8, 2016Assignee: DEERE & COMPANYInventors: Gregory Harmelink, Jon T.

Patent number: 6377462Abstract: A circuit assembly includes a printed circuit board which has a plurality of copper traces formed thereon. Heat generating electronic components are surface mounted on the board in contact with parts of the traces. A heat conducting copper plate is mounted on the board adjacent to and spaced apart from the electronic components, and in contact with other parts of the traces. A silicon pad is mounted on the plate, and a heat sink member is mounted on the pad so that the pad is between the heat sink member and the traces. Heat conducting solder bridges are formed between the edges of the electronic components and the edges of the plate.Type: GrantFiled: January 9, 2001Date of Patent: April 23, 2002Assignee: Deere & CompanyInventors: Michael A.
