Patent number: 11949176Abstract: Beam forming antennas for base station applications are configured as dielectric resonator antennas (DRAs) having arrays of dielectric resonator radiating elements (DRRE) therein with dual-polarized radiating properties. Each DRRE includes a dielectric radiating element (DRE) electromagnetically coupled by a resonant cavity to a respective cross-polarized feed network, which is responsive to first and second radio frequency (RF) input feed signals. Each resonant cavity may be configured as a polymer-filled resonant cavity, and each DRE may be configured as a cylindrically-shaped or dome-shaped dielectric radiating element.Type: GrantFiled: July 7, 2020Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: CommScope Technologies LLCInventors: Huan Wang, Michael Brobston, Martin L.

Patent number: 11134547Abstract: Systems and methods for maintaining the illumination intensity of one or more LEDs above a minimal intensity level. The systems and methods may include: (1) a current regulator for regulating the current in a circuit; (2) a voltage source for applying current to a circuit; (3) an LED with a minimal intensity level that correlates to a set-point temperature; and (4) a thermal sensor that is in proximity to the LED and adapted to sense a temperature proximal to the LED. The thermal sensor may transmit a signal to the current regulator if the sensed temperature exceeds the set-point temperature. Thereafter, the current regulator may take steps to regulate the current in order to maintain the LED illumination intensity above the minimal intensity level.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 2019Date of Patent: September 28, 2021Assignee: Luminator Holding LPInventors: Vadim Zlotnikov, John B.

Publication number: 20110273876Abstract: A method and system for fastening an optical component having one or more thermoplastic stakes extending therefrom to a substrate is shown. The method and system include providing and inserting the thermoplastic stakes through openings in the substrate. An elastomeric compensator, such as a sheet, a washer, an o-ring, or other gasket-like piece, is then disposed around one or more of the thermoplastic stakes. The thermoplastic stakes are then heated and molded to form rivet-like heads and pressure is applied to compress the elastomeric compensators between the rivet-like heads and the substrate to pull the optical component against the substrate.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 4, 2011Publication date: November 10, 2011Inventors: Mark Stolyar, Vadim Zlotnikov
