Abstract: The present invention provides a chassis mount for mounting an electronic equipment chassis to a rack that has parallel mounting columns with opposing front and rear flanges. The chassis mount has front brackets that are fixedly attached to the electronic equipment chassis and positively engageable with the front flanges of the mounting columns. The chassis mount also has rear brackets movably attached to the electronic equipment chassis and locatable proximate to the rear flanges of the mounting columns. A binding mechanism is coupled to the front and rear brackets to form a clamp therewith that binds the columns between the front and rear brackets and secures the electronic equipment chassis to the rack.

Abstract: Alternators employing magnetic commutation, methods of manufacturing the alternators and wireless communications infrastructures employing the alternators. In one embodiment, an alternator includes: (1) a stator having 4n alternating field and armature poles extending axially along and projecting from an inner surface thereof, n being a positive integer, the field poles having field windings disposed thereabout to form alternating North-South magnetic polar regions and the armature poles having armature windings disposed thereabout to allow conduction of electric power from the armature poles, (2) a rotor, disposed within and journalled for rotation relative to the stator, having 2n axial magnetic passive regions, each of the passive regions being of a circumferential width magnetically to bridge one of the armature poles and only one of the field poles and (3) an exciter, coupled to the stator, that provides a controlled level of DC excitation to the field poles to regulate an output of the alternator.
