Publication number: 20240109462Abstract: A vehicle seat and storage system includes a vehicle seat having a seat base and a seat back extending from the seat base. A storage apparatus is connected to the seat back and is movable from a stowed position against the seat back to an extended position away from the seat back. The storage apparatus is configured to position and secure one or more cargo items. A seat motor is operably connected to the seat. The seat motor is configured to move the seat back from a first position extending upward from the seat base to a second position where the seat back is disposed flat against the seat base.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 28, 2022Publication date: April 4, 2024Inventors: Patrick Minjeur, David M. Aller, Christopher Stephen Flemming, Lisa M. Simms, John Joseph Katona, Owen Rauch, Siddhant Kansal, Zachariah Smith, Paul W. Alexander

Patent number: 10992041Abstract: The present invention discloses a dual-frequency feed-source module and a dual-frequency microwave antenna, wherein the dual-frequency feed-source module mainly comprises two coaxially arranged waveguides, the two waveguides respectively provide microwave energy of two different frequency bands to radiating portions for feeding, so that the antenna can be operated in different frequency bands at the same time. The combination of the two coaxial waveguides, a reflector and other structures can form different microwave antennas such as a feedforward dual-band microwave antenna and a feedback Cassegrain dual-band microwave antenna. The invention feeds microwave energy through the two waveguides, so that the antenna can be operated in two frequency bands at the same time, thus greatly expanding an application range of the microwave antenna.Type: GrantFiled: June 12, 2018Date of Patent: April 27, 2021Assignee: ROSENBERGER TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD.Inventors: Junaid Syed, Stephen Simms

Patent number: 8405570Abstract: An antenna reflector includes a central segment with a peripheral coupling portion and a plurality of peripheral segments, each provided with a reflector portion and a shield portion. A proximal portion of each shield portion is dimensioned to couple with the peripheral coupling portion, a reflector portion edge of each peripheral segment is dimensioned to couple with adjacent reflector portion edges and a shield portion edge of each peripheral segment is dimensioned to couple with adjacent shield portion edges. The central segment and the reflector portion of the peripheral segments together form a reflector dish. The shield portions together provide a circumferential shield extending from a periphery of the reflector dish along an antenna boresight of the reflector dish.Type: GrantFiled: May 27, 2010Date of Patent: March 26, 2013Assignee: Andrew LLCInventors: Matthew Lewry, Stephen Simms, Steven Bell

Patent number: 8077113Abstract: An enclosure for the open end of a reflector antenna includes a cylindrical shroud coupled to a distal end of the reflector antenna, the shroud generally coaxial with a longitudinal axis of the reflector antenna. A retaining band is coupled to an inner diameter of the shroud, proximate a distal end of the shroud. The retaining band is provided with a retaining groove open radially inward towards the longitudinal axis. The retaining groove provided with a bottom extending radially outward beyond an outer diameter of the shroud. A radome is seated within the retaining groove.Type: GrantFiled: June 12, 2009Date of Patent: December 13, 2011Assignee: Andrew LLCInventors: Junaid Syed, Matthew Lewry, Ian Renilson, Stephen Simms
