Antenna mounting bracket

Номер: US20120199720A1
Автор: John David Miller
Принадлежит: Individual

An antenna mount attaches an antenna to a commercial vehicle. Often, such vehicles do not include antenna mounts for items such as a CB or satellite radio. The antenna mount may permit such antennas to be installed, interconnecting with an existing spot mirror attachment point. The antenna mount includes a bracket adapted to connect to a vehicle, typically between a spot mirror and a vehicle door, using the existing spot mirror mounting bolts. One or more rods may extend from the bracket. Antennas may then be attached to the rods. The antenna mount may allow for mounting capability for CB and/or satellite radio antennas. The chosen location of the antenna mount, behind the spot mirror, may also maximize satellite and CB radio signals.

Camming clamp for roof seam

Номер: US20120312945A1
Автор: Greg McPHEETERS
Принадлежит: Mainstream Energy Corp

A clamp described herein can secure a solar cell array to a seam of a standing seam metal roof. The clamp has a cam that is rotated by the tightening of a bolt to cause the cam to engage the seam. The clamp also has a receiver for receiving the seam and the rotated cam. By installing the clamp on the seam, the solar cell array can be secured to the standing seam metal roof without drilling into the roof. Because no screws are required to be drilled into the rooftop, the damage to the rooftop is substantially reduced. Also, by reversing the process described above, the clamp can be uninstalled in a similar fashion.

The system is dependent on aircraft being equipped with high integrity position sources, such as Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers. ADS-B provides real-time surveillance services to both Air Traffic Control stations and to appropriately equipped aircraft.ADS-B makes use of two operating frequencies—978 MHz and 1090 Mhz: Aircraft may transmit position information (referred to as ADS-B OUT) at 1090 MHz using an Extended Squitter equipped transponder or, if limited to operating below flight level 180 (approximately 18,000 feet), at 978 MHz using Universal Access Transceiver (UAT). ADS-B OUT information may be directly received by other similarly-equipped aircraft and by ground stations within line-of-sight.Aircraft may receive position information of other aircraft and about obstacles, as well as weather and other information ( ...
