US Patent:

7006801, Feb 28, 2006

Filed:

Jul 17, 2001

Appl. No.:

09/907389

Inventors:

Christopher C. Lang - Vernon Hills IL, US

Assignee:

Amphenol-T & M Antennas - Vernon Hills IL

International Classification:

H04B 1/38
H04M 1/00

US Classification:

455 903, 4555621, 343702, 343895, 343906

Abstract:

A retractable antenna for a wireless communicator includes an elongate radiator that slides through a helical radiator. An electrical contact alternately contacts one of the elongate radiator and the helical radiator depending on a position of the elongate radiator relative to the helical radiator. Mechanical disengagement is accomplished by the movement of the elongate radiator into a contact position with the electrical contact to disengage the helical conductor. A preferred feature of the antenna is that one of the helical radiator and elongate radiator make electrical contact with the wireless communicator circuits, even when the antenna is placed between a fully refracted and fully extended position. Multiple band operation is another feature of the retractable antenna due to its periodic nature. Ease of assembly is achieved through preferred individual snap fit components.

International Classification:

H04L 12/58
H04L 29/08

Abstract:

A first instance of a messenger application having a plug-in communicates with a second instance of the messenger application lacking the plug-in. The plug-in provides enhanced functionality to the first instance of the messenger application, while also providing corresponding functionality to the second instance, which lacks the plug-in. For example, the plug-in may provide rich, non-thread-native content to the first instance, while also providing corresponding thread-native content to the second instance. As another example, the plug-in may obtain data from the second instance and provide tailored advertisements to the second instance based upon that data. As another example, the plug-in may obtain location data from one or more of the instances and provide access to location-specific services that take the location data into account.
