| 20100328190 | Reflector Latching Mechanism for Segmented Reflectors Used in Satellite Communication Systems - There is provided an antenna reflector including at least first and second reflector segments, each having first and second sides. The first and second reflector segments being configured to be connected together wherein the first sides of the first and second reflector segments define a substantially continuous surface of an antenna reflector. A first latch member is attached to the second side of the first reflector segment and a second latch member is attached to the second side of the second reflector segment. Each latch member includes an abutting surface which contacts one another when the first and second reflector segments are connected together. At least one protrusion extends from the abutting surface of the first latch member. There is at least one recess in the abutting surface of the second latch member. The protrusion is received in the recess when the respective abutting surfaces contact one another. | 12-30-2010 |
| 20100064829 | HIGH PRECISION POSITIONING APPARATUS HAVING A ROTATING DRIVING ELEMENT AND A ROTATING DRIVEN ELEMENT - There is provided a rotary positioning apparatus including a driven element and a driving element, each of which has a curved outer surface. A cable connects the driven element to the driving element. The cable is wound a plurality of times about a portion of the outer surfaces of the driving element and the driven element for applying rotational forces from the driving element to the driven element. The outer surface of at least one of the driving element or the driven element having a plurality of V-shaped grooves therein. Portions of the cable are wedged in portions of the grooves thereby substantially reducing slippage of the cable. | 03-18-2010 |
