Abstract: Devices and methods for a device for shielding electronics from thermal, ultraviolet, and environmental exposure are disclosed herein. The present invention is directed to shading and shielding electronic devices mounted on a wall such as, but not limited to, cameras, transmitters, electronics and the accompanying power/data cabling from deteriorating ultraviolet, thermal radiation, and glare. The device also enhances video by keeping direct sunlight off the lens of video electronics while also extending the overall effective operating lifespan of the electronic device. In embodiments, the device has a parabolic shape to act as a directional wave amplifier to increase the range of communication electronics and transmitters. In an embodiment, the device is comprised of a wall back plate element and a shielding top plate element.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a combination roof top solar installation tool, and more particularly, to a tool for measuring, securing, and supporting solar installation equipment to allow for quick, safe, consistent, and efficient installations. The tool may include a first housing, a second housing, and third housing that fit telescopically together and are secured through a clip locking mechanism that extends the housings when released via a clip and roller system. The tool has ruling etched along the top of the housings, a level, and also has a series of ratchet heads for tightening and loosening tools on a roof. The invention may include a series of seam clamp holes along the surface of the housings, which receive a seam clamp. The invention may also have an elongating device secured onto one of the housings, which is used for measuring distances beyond the length of the installation tool.

Abstract: A pick-up horn for absorbing radiation emitted by a transmit antenna is provided. The pick-up horn includes at least one outer metal wall forming a metal body and at least one interior surface disposed in the metal body, forming at least one chamber in the metal body. The pick-up horn further includes a front metal surface disposed at a front end of the metal body, having at least one opening corresponding to the at least one chamber, and at least one high-power absorbing load disposed within the at least one chamber and in contact with the at least one interior surface. The pick-up horn may further include a serpentine coolant path disposed within the metal body between an outer surface of the at least one outer metal wall and the at least one high-power absorbing load.
