  • Heat sink and antenna
    Patent number: 6891726
    Abstract: Briefly, in accordance with one embodiment of the invention, a heat sink may have an antenna disposed thereon. The antenna may be rotated away from the heat sink in an upper position to adjust the reception of radio-frequency signals when the heat sink is in an extended position. The heat sink may be extended out of the housing in which it is disposed to increase heat dissipation into the ambient environment. The antenna may be rotated into a lower position so that the heat sink and antenna may be retracted into the housing.
