Appl. No.:

10/329209

Inventors:

Cheryl Ann Mayer - Lincoln NE
Yingdong Song - Lincoln NE
Shawn Michael Carraher - Lincoln NE
Brian Todd Potter - Lincoln NE

Assignee:

Centurion Wireless Technologies, Inc. - Lincoln NE

International Classification:

H01Q 136

US Classification:

343895, 343702

Abstract:

An antenna is responsive to both a low frequency band and a high frequency band. The antenna includes a metal connector and a hollow insulating tube that is supported by the metal connector. A relatively large diameter metal coil that is responsive to the low frequency band is coiled about an outer surface of the insulating tube, and one end of this coil is connected to the metal connector. A relatively small diameter metal coil that is responsive to the high frequency band is coiled adjacent to an inner surface of the insulating tube, and one end of this coil is connected to the metal connector. A metal disk is mounted on and electrically connected to an opposite end of the small diameter coil. A sheath of dielectric material axially compresses the two coils against the metal connector and also provides an outer cover for the antenna.

International Classification:

H01Q 1/24
H01Q 1/36

US Classification:

343702, 343895

Abstract:

The present invention provides a flexible film antenna. The flexible film antenna includes a radiating element comprising a conductive trace on a flexible film. Flexible film is mounted on a core. The core comprises at least two parts that are releasably coupled together in snap or sliding relation. A feed post extends out a base of the core to connect to a power feed. Finally, a protective housing can be molded over the antenna.

International Classification:

B60K 17/28

US Classification:

180 537, 180 681, 474148

Abstract:

A vehicle front drive assembly includes a housing supporting a plurality of belt driven pulleys, including an input pulley driven by an engine of the vehicle, a first driveshaft, a front PTO drive, and a second driveshaft. The first driveshaft can be connected directly between the engine and the input pulley. The front PTO drive has a housing rotatably supporting an input member, an auxiliary drive member and a PTO driveshaft, and enclosing a PTO transmission. A second driveshaft can be coupled between the engine and the auxiliary drive member. The first driveshaft is removable from the assembly when the second driveshaft and the front PTO drive are connected between the engine and the input pulley. The second driveshaft and the front PTO drive are removable from the assembly when the first driveshaft is connected between the engine and the input pulley.

International Classification:

F16H 7/24

US Classification:

474150

Abstract:

A vehicle front drive assembly includes an auxiliary drive assembly for a vehicle which is driven by an engine which is cooled by a fan. The auxiliary drive assembly includes an input pulley for receiving torque from the engine, a fan drive pulley, a belt engaging the input pulley and the drive pulley and an auxiliary drive housing. The housing supports the belt and has a first opening adapted to receive a torque transmitting member which transmits torque from the engine to the input pulley. The housing has a second opening which receives a fan drive shaft which transmits torque from the fan drive pulley to the fan.
