  • Patent number: 10553930
    Abstract: An antenna system for wireless communications and other wireless applications is disclosed. In one particular embodiment, the antenna system may comprise a frame with at least three facets and an antenna element mounted on each of the at least three facets, wherein each of the antenna elements are electromagnetically isolated from each other.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 30, 2016
    Date of Patent: February 4, 2020
    Assignee: SYMANTEC CORPORATION
    Inventors: Michael Billard, Christopher Gaul, Paul Roybal
  • Patent number: 10448538
    Abstract: The disclosed wireless router may include (i) an enclosure, (ii) an antenna, (iii) a printed circuit board assembly, (iv) a radiative heat sink disposed between the antenna and the printed circuit board assembly within the wireless router such that the radiative heat sink is configured to shield the antenna from spurious emissions generated by the printed circuit board assembly, and (v) a fan disposed at a center of the radiative heat sink such that the fan is configured to cool the wireless router by circulating air within the enclosure rather than pushing air through venting in the enclosure. Various other apparatuses, systems, and methods are also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20140285183
    Abstract: A self-calibrating magnetic field monitor is disclosed. In one embodiment, a magnetic field sensor repeatedly generates an electronic signal related to the magnetic field. In addition, a calibration module generates a relative baseline signal based on an average value of the electronic signals for a given time period. A comparator compares the electronic signal with the relative baseline signal and generating an output signal if a difference in the comparing is greater than or equal to a threshold.
