  • Apparatus and method to facilitate wireless communications of automatic data collection devices in potentially hazardous environments
    Publication number: 20070001778
    Abstract: A system useful in providing communications with automatic data collection (ADC) devices employs an antenna located in a potentially hazardous environment, a radio circuit located in a non-hazardous environment, and a coupling apparatus to provide an interface between the antenna and the radio circuit that prevents electrical discharges from occurring in the potentially hazardous environment.

  • Field configurable radiation antenna device
    Patent number: 7095383
    Abstract: Field Configurable Radiation Antenna Device for fixed dipole antenna comprising of a hollow tube and at least one pair of directional vanes is described. The beam direction of the antenna can be changed by operationally connecting multiples pairs of directional vanes to the hollow tube and by rotating the directional vanes relatively outer peripheral surface of the hollow tube. Such adjustments allow the user to tune the antenna to meet new or unforeseen coverage issues.

  • Adjustable reflector system for fixed dipole antenna
    Patent number: 7006053
    Abstract: An adjustable reflector system for fixed dipole antenna comprising of reflector and several supporting devices is described. The beam direction of the antenna can be changed by rotating the reflector about the Y-axis and/or adjusting the reflector about X axis and Z-axis. Such adjustments allow the user to fine tune the antenna to meet new or unforeseen coverage issues. The plurality of the of the reflector's shapes is disclosed (flat, curved, etc.).
