Abstract: Systems and methods for providing a Portable Satellite Communication (“PSC”) antenna. The PSC antenna (100) comprises: a Parabolic Segmented Antenna (“PSA”) reflector (102) with a plurality of identical and interchangeable panels (106) that can be stowed in a nested stacked arrangement; a plurality of interchangeable feedhorn assemblies (104) that can be coupled to a center hub (110) via a quick-connect mechanism (112); an adjustment mechanism (2512, 2602, 2604) for adjusting an angular orientation of the feedhorn assemblies relative to the center hub; a transceiver (202) that can be coupled to a convex side of the PSA reflector; a base panel (120) which is coupled to a tripod positioning structure (118) such that reflector wind moment loads can be transferred through a base panel to the tripod positioning structure; and a tripod positioning structure with folding legs (3102, 3104) and hard stops (3306) against which the folding legs can be preloaded.

Abstract: A system for providing individual comfort control. The system includes means, such as an air diffuser, for distributing conditioned air into an environment; a personal comfort device for selectively providing conditioned air to a portion of the environment; and means for remotely controlling the operation of the personal comfort device.

Abstract: A cooling device is provided for aerated water recycled to live wells for fish. A separate ice chest is provided with a cooling coil through which water from a separate live well may be circulated to be cooled and then aerated when the cooled water is returned to the live well. The life of fish in the live well is prolonged by the combined cooling and aeration. A protective baffle supports the cooling coil against a wall of the ice chest to secure the coil from a central part of the ice chest which may be used for a storage area to cool beverage cans and the like. The protective baffle is designed to provide circulation of ice water to the coil while blocking off the coil from the central storage area.
