20090201203 | ANTENNA ALIGNMENT AND MONITORING SYSTEM AND METHOD USING GNSS - An antenna alignment and monitoring system is provided for telecom antennas and includes a pair of global navigation satellite system (GNSS) antennas mounted on a printed circuit board (PCB) for installation in a telecom antenna enclosure. Multiple telecom antennas are configured in an antenna array for mounting on a transmission tower or other elevated structure. A common GNSS receiver cycles among the GNSS antenna pairs for initially aligning and subsequently monitoring the azimuth alignment of the telecom antennas relative to a reference azimuth using GNSS triangulation. | 08-13-2009 |
20100231450 | AISG INLINE TILT SENSOR SYSTEM AND METHOD - A system and method is for orientating and monitoring orientation of telecommunications antennas. The system includes an AISG compliant tilt sensor system mounted in-line between a telecommunications antenna enclosure and a communications cable, and positioned to measure the elevation tilt and slant of a telecommunications antenna enclosure relative to a reference axis. The tilt sensor system measures the angle of tilt and angle of slant of the enclosure with respect to a reference axis, and communicates the values through the communications cable using the AISG protocol for analysis by a telecommunications system operator. A printed circuit board with suitable microprocessor and circuitry receives and processes the tilt sensor data and reports directional alignment information to the user via a user interface. | 09-16-2010 |
20110140990 | ANTENNA IDENTIFICATION MODULE - A system and method for detecting and reporting telecommunications antenna identification data to a remote user location is presented. A telecommunications antenna module is provided for storing and transmitting antenna serial number, part number, version, firmware, production date, and other relevant data to a network operator over AISG and/or 3 GPP compliant communications systems. The module consists of a printed circuit board mounting a programmable device capable of storing and transmitting programmed antenna information. The module is adapted for connecting to antenna communications cables using either AISG cable splitter or in-line in a daisy chain fashion. The module is capable of connecting in-line with another antenna monitoring device to connect to the antenna. The device is programmed either in the field by a field technician or by the antenna manufacturer. | 06-16-2011 |
20110285584 | Handheld Antenna Attitude Measuring System - An antenna attitude measuring system includes internal and external electrical components providing data for recording and displaying on a handheld device. The data can be transmitted to a database for access by a network operator. The antenna attitude can be adjusted for maximizing telecommunications network performance. | 11-24-2011 |
20130328716 | HANDHELD ANTENNA ATTITUDE MEASURING SYSTEM - An antenna attitude measuring system includes internal and external electrical components providing data for recording and displaying on a handheld device. The data can be transmitted to a database for access by a network operator. The antenna attitude can be adjusted for maximizing telecommunications network performance. The system includes an AISG compliant tilt sensor system mounted in-line between a telecommunications antenna enclosure and a communications cable, and positioned to measure the elevation tilt and slant of a telecommunications antenna enclosure relative to a reference axis. The system includes the ability to connect to and remotely control a plurality of remote electrical tilt control units through only a single connection. | 12-12-2013 |
20150116977 | TRANSPARENT ILLUMINATED DISPLAY SYSTEM FOR AUTOMOBILES - A transparent illuminated display system, typically for use in automobile race events, including a highly flexible and transparent PCB board with ultra-low profile LED's mounted to it. The flexible and transparent PCB boards can be in the shape of a single or multiple numeric or alphanumeric displays. The face of the display which would make contact with the face of a wind screen would include an adhesive element. The transparent illuminated display is mounted to a vehicle as a kind of sticker on the inside or outside of a racecar windscreen, back window and/or side windows. Each of the displays could be wired to power and data lines and illuminate the required numbers or text to show the position and other info of the car in the race. | 04-30-2015 |

20120257502 | Managing Network Traffic - Managing network traffic includes associating a wireless client device with a wireless access point comprising at least one processor with said wireless access point, identifying a network to which said wireless client device is assigned; and with said wireless access point, assigning said wireless client device to one of a plurality of Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs) implemented within said network according to a protocol for balancing network traffic across the plurality of VLANs. | 10-11-2012 |
20120257565 | MOBILE NETWORK TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT - A method for mobile computer networking on a distributed network includes, with a network element of a local network, establishing a connection to a mobile client device, determining a home network of the mobile client device without using a logical address of a packet of data from the mobile client device, and forwarding network traffic from the mobile client device to a home network of the mobile client device in response to determining that the home network is not the local network. | 10-11-2012 |
20120259992 | MINIMAL SYNCHRONIZED NETWORK OPERATIONS - A method for minimal synchronized network operations includes making an initial connection between a client and a network, the initial connection being made through a first access point managed by a home controller, the home controller recording session information and authentication data for the client. A subsequent connection is made between the client and the network through a second access point managed by a second controller, the subsequent connection being made communicating the session information and authentication data between the home controller and the second controller, without client reauthentication, and without disrupting existing communication. | 10-11-2012 |
