Abstract: A folding trailer may be selectively moved between an extended or use position and a collapsed or storage position. The folding trailer may include an axle that is capable of being moved between a first position in which the axle is generally aligned along an axis and a second position in which the axle is disposed in a folded configuration. The axle is preferably located in generally the same plane in the first and second positions. In addition, the axle preferably moves in a generally rearward direction when the axle is moved from the first to the second position. The trailer may also include a bed that is capable of being moved between a first position in which first and second portions of the bed are generally aligned with a first plane and a second position in which the first and second portions of the bed are disposed in a folded position and generally aligned with a second plane. The axle and bed are preferably disposed in the first positions when the trailer is in the use position.

Abstract: A system is disclosed for providing a new panel antenna array with enhanced environmental protection, increased reliability and simplified assembly through the incorporation of new array structures. In one embodiment, a panel antenna array system comprises one or more linear arrays having one or more radiating elements for providing antenna transmission and reception; and one or more protection modules to be aligned vertically with each other in a parallel fashion, with each protection module providing protection to one linear array. A mounting bracket further provides a mounting surface to the protection modules.

Abstract: A trailer may include a suspension system connected to a frame. The suspension system desirably includes a leaf spring and a connector that connects the axle to the leaf spring. The connector may include a unitary, one-piece bracket with a first flange that is sized and configured to contact a first side of the leaf spring and a second flange that is sized and configured to contact a second side of the leaf spring. Preferably, the bracket has a generally U-shaped configuration. In addition, the bracket preferably has a length that is generally equal to or larger than twice or three times a width of the axle. Advantageously, the connector may help prevent the wheel from undesirably twisting while the trailer is being towed.

Abstract: A folding trailer may be capable of moving between a use position and a storage position. The folding trailer may include an axle that is capable of moving between a first position in which the axle is generally aligned along an axis and a second position in which the axle is disposed in a folded configuration. The folding trailer may also include a towing arm that is movable between an extended position in which a portion of the towing arm extends beyond the front portion of the frame to facilitate attached to a towing vehicle and a collapsed position in which the towing arm is at least substantially disposed underneath the frame. In addition, the trailer may include an adjustment assembly that is sized and configured to adjust the position of the axle between the first and second positions, and adjust the position of the towing arm between the extended and collapsed positions. Advantageously, the adjustment assembly may have different configurations and arrangements.

Abstract: A trailer may include an extension that is sized and configured to extend the length of the trailer. Advantageously, the extension may allow the trailer to be shipped in a standard-sized container. In particular, the extension may allow the trailer to be shipped within a 92 inch container. The extension may also extend the length of the trailer to allow, for example, items that are about 96 inches or 8 feet in length to be positioned in the trailer. Thus, the extension may allow the trailer to be shipped in a standard-sized container and allow the trailer to carrying items such as drywall or sheets of plywood that are 8 feet in length.

Abstract: A trailer may include a weight indicator that is sized and configured to indicate at least a portion of the load carried by the trailer. The weight indicator may include a pointer that is connected to a suspension member, such as a leaf spring. Advantageously, the pointer may be connected to other suitable portions of the trailer such as a frame, bracket or the like. Advantageously, the trailer may also include two weight indicators to collectively indicate whether the trailer is loaded evenly.

Abstract: A trailer that may include a first side wall, a second side wall, a first end wall and a second end wall. A first slot in the first side wall may be sized and configured to receive and retain at least a portion of the first end wall and a first slot in the second side wall may be sized and configured to receive and retain at least a portion of the first end wall. In addition, a second slot in the first side wall may be sized and configured to receive and retain at least a portion of the second end wall and a second slot sin the second side wall may be sized and configured to receive and retain at least a portion of the second end wall. The trailer may also include lips that are sized and configured to help retain the walls in the desired positions. In addition, the trailer may include engaging members that are sized and configured to bias the walls into a desired position. Advantageously, the walls may be interchangeably connected to the trailer.

Abstract: A trailer may be purchased by a consumer from a store and the trailer may be quickly, easily and readily towed away from the store. In particular, the trailer may be essentially or completely ready to be towed away from the store and the trailer may require no or virtually no assembly. For example, a towing arm may be quickly and easily moved from the storage position to the use position. Advantageously, because the towing arm may be connected by pins to the trailer, no tools may be required to position the arm in the use position. In addition, because electrical wiring may be disposed within the arm and the arm may be simply moved forwardly when the trailer is ready to be towed, the lights for the trailer may be functional.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a wireless communications system with reduced sideband noise and carrier leakage. In the system, at least one transmitter modulates at least one input signal with a first carrier to generate a modulated output signal, and at least one receiver receives the modulated output signal and demodulates the same with a second carrier to generate at least one demodulated output signal. The first and second carriers are at different frequencies, such that the sideband noise and carrier leakage generated by different sources can be distinguished.

Abstract: A method and system is disclosed for passing a transmit/receive control signal and a power signal through a coax cable from a base transceiver station to a tower top device in a time division duplex communication system. After generating the transmit/receive control signal and a radio frequency signal for communications, the transmit/receive control signal modulates a separate timing control operating on a separate control frequency. It is then multiplexed on at least one coax cable along with the radio frequency signal and DC power. At the tower top device, the modulated transmit/receive control signal is converted back to a DC level for providing a time division duplex control reference.
