20130111830 | BASE UNIT FOR MOUNTING PHOTOVOLTAIC MODULES - Embodiments of the invention provide systems and methods for mounting a solar panel to a roof of a building or structure. Structures used to mount a solar panel to a roof may include a base having a flange that extends partially or fully around a periphery of the mounting unit, a mounting surface connected with the base and configured to couple with the solar panel so that the solar panel is elevated above the roof's surface and/or oriented at an angle with respect thereto, and one or more walls or members that connect the mounting surface to the base. A flexible membrane or skirt may be coupled with the flange and may extend laterally therefrom. The flexible membrane or skirt may be coupled with the roof to secure the mounting unit and solar panel to the roof. | 05-09-2013 |
20130220395 | APPARATUS AND METHODS FOR MOUNTING A PHOTOVOLTAIC MODULE ON A ROOF - Embodiments of the invention provide systems, devices, and methods for mounting a photovoltaic module to a structure, such as a roof. An embodiment of a method for mounting a photovoltaic module to a structure may include providing a photovoltaic module, a first mounting device, and a second mounting device. The first mounting device and the second mounting device may be coupled with the structure, such as a roofing membrane, so that opposing mounting channels of the respective devices face one another. The method may further include inserting a first edge of the photovoltaic module within the mounting channel of the first mounting device and inserting a second edge of the photovoltaic module within the mounting channel of the second mounting device so that the photovoltaic module is disposed between the first mounting device and the second mounting device. | 08-29-2013 |
20140345223 | CONTINUOUS WALL ASSEMBLIES AND METHODS - According to one embodiment, an insulated structure includes a frame comprising a plurality of wall studs coupled together and a plurality of foam boards attached to the frame to form a continuous insulative wall. A plurality of fasteners attaches the foam boards to the frame. Each fastener includes an elongate shaft and a cap. The elongate shaft is configured to penetrate through a foam board and into a wall stud to couple the components together. The cap is configured to be positioned atop a foam board to distribute a load relatively evenly to the foam board. A sealing tape is applied across seams between adjacent foam boards and over the fasteners' caps to seal the wall. A sealing caulk is applied to secondary fasteners and penetrations to seal the wall. In some embodiments, the structure has a fastener density of about 1 fastener per 243 in | 11-27-2014 |

20130157508 | COAXIAL CONNECTOR WITH COUPLING NUT - A coaxial connector is configured to mate with a mating connector. The coaxial connector includes a housing that is at least partially electrically conductive, an inner electrical contact held by the housing, and an outer electrical contact. The outer electrical contact is concentrically arranged with the inner electrical contact such that the outer electrical contact is spaced radially apart from the inner electrical contact. The outer electrical contact defines a plug that is configured to be received within a receptacle of the mating connector. A coupling nut is configured to mechanically secure the electrical connector to the mating connector. The coupling nut is integrally formed with the housing and includes a radially inner surface having a thread configured to engage a thread of the mating connector. | 06-20-2013 |
20130217258 | Coaxial Cable Connector - A coaxial cable connector is provided having an inner contact configured to be terminated to a center conductor of a coaxial cable. A dielectric insert holds the inner contact. A shell holds the dielectric insert. The shell extends between a mating end and a cable end. The cable end includes a housing having an edge. The cable end is configured to be terminated to an end of the coaxial cable by pressing the edge into the end of the coaxial cable such that the housing is positioned radially inward of a jacket of the coaxial cable and the housing is in direct contact with a cable braid of the coaxial cable | 08-22-2013 |
20130225015 | SOCKET CONTACT - A radio frequency (RF) socket contact is provided for mating with an RF mating pin. The RF socket contact includes a body having a base that extends a length along a central longitudinal axis. The body has an odd number of cantilevered deflectable beams that extend lengths outward from the base along the central longitudinal axis. The beams define a socket therebetween that is configured to receive the RF mating pin therein. The beams include a mating zone within the socket where the beams mate with the RF mating pin. The body of the socket contact is configured to conduct radio waves. | 08-29-2013 |

20090115570 | DEVICE FOR ELECTRONIC ACCESS CONTROL WITH INTEGRATED SURVEILLANCE - Described is a device for electronic access control (EAC) and surveillance. The device includes an EAC module and an imager integrated in a single unit. The EAC module controls physical access through a secure portal and the imager maintains surveillance of an observation area near the portal. A data signal is provided at a data port proximate to the EAC module and imager. The data signal includes EAC data for the portal, image or video data of the observation area and optional audio data. The device can be configured to communicate with a remote server and database over an IP data network. The device can also include one or more analytical modules for real-time computation and processing of data and generation of metadata for transmission over the data network. Correlating and combining current and historical data from multiple devices results in powerful real time threat detection and forensic search capability. | 05-07-2009 |
