US Classification:

4555751, 455 903, 4555755, 4555757, 4555621, 343700 MS, 343702, 343841, 343872

Abstract:

A wireless RF data transmission system subscriber station has a fixed, overhead bracket secured, spindle. An open sided housing is rotatably mounted to the spindle. The housing has a finned heat sink and is interiorly coated with heat absorbing paint. Emissions shielding enclosures secured within the housing house an RF transceiver. An antenna array mounted to an enclosure is operatively connected to the transceiver through the enclosures for communicating RF data signals. An A/D-D/A board is mounted to an enclosure on an opposite side from the array. A radome is secured over a face of the array, sealed to the housing by a carbon impregnated gasket. An electric motor mounted within the housing and operatively engaging the spindle is controlled by antenna aiming logic for aiming the station and its array. An orifice sealed with a waterproof, breathable membrane allows moisture to escape the housing and prevents moisture infiltration.

Appl. No.:

8/550130

Inventors:

Richard Allen Shields - Kirkland WA

Assignee:

AT&T Wireless Services, Inc. - Kirkland WA

International Classification:

A47C 772

US Classification:

29718814

Abstract:

A passenger seat armrest has a cradle cavity formed therein for removably securing an electronic communications handset such as a telephone. The electronic communications handset is held in the armrest so that it becomes part of the armrest when not in use. Alternatively, the armrest also accommodates electronic devices not necessarily related to the electronic communications handset, such as additional communications ports and transducer modules. The armrest is comprised of modular components for efficient assembly, yet can be installed and removed from a passenger chair as a single unit.
