  • Patent number: 11476584
    Abstract: An apparatus for an antenna assembly, which can be used for a mobile application such as on an aircraft, can include a housing defining an interior. A first antenna, such as a WAAS GPS antenna, can mount within the interior to operate at a first frequency. A second antenna, such as an L-band monopole antenna, can mount within the interior of the housing. A trap coupled to the second antenna can be tuned to the first frequency to prevent signal loss caused by the second antenna.

  • Patent number: 10954056
    Abstract: A knockdown cooler with a number of removable chilling panels that cool an interior cavity of the cooler without exposing the contents therein to contact with unhygienic ice or water is provided. A collapsible storage member is positioned atop one or more structural support members to suspend the storage member in the chilling cavity, providing exposure to prolonged cooling impetus, a duration that may be prolonged if desired by removing and replacing one or more of the chilling panels without disrupting the contents of the cooler. A method of cooling items such as food, beverages, or the like without exposing the same to unhygienic ice or water in a knockdown cooler that can be assembled or disassembled without tools, mechanical fasteners, or adhesives is also provided.

  • Patent number: 9660334
    Abstract: A collapsible ground plane for a mobile UHF satcom antenna mounted on a riser comprises a hub and a plurality of conductive members, some of which extend radially from the hub with additional conductive members that extend peripherally between adjacent distal ends of the radially extending conductive members. Each conductive member is flexible so as to yield upon an impact, and return to its original shape when the impact is relieved.

  • Patent number: 9543657
    Abstract: A UHF satcom antenna comprises a hollow cylinder; an annular substrate disposed on a base of the hollow cylinder; a circular substrate coplanar and concentric to the annular substrate; a plurality of bow-tie antenna elements; a plurality of rectangular antenna elements and a plurality of open-sleeve elements. The antenna system includes at least one feed line extending through the hollow cylinder and the circular substrate and electrically connects to the bow-tie elements. The hollow cylinder may comprise a dielectric material. Provided on the annular substrate, the bow-tie elements extend radially outward from the center of the annular substrate. The rectangular elements are electrically coupled to the plurality of bow-tie antenna elements and are provided on the outer surface of the hollow cylinder. Provided on both the annular substrate and the outer surface of the hollow cylinder, the open-sleeve elements act as parasitic antenna elements for the bow-tie antenna system.
