    摘要: A vehicle, vessel or airplane having an antenna and a motor rotating the antenna, a rotation encoder outputting information relating to the rotation and outputting the information to two controllers of which one controls the motor. The other controller receives the rotation information and information relating to a position/direction/axis in relation to the vehicle/vessel/airplane and outputting a second signal based thereon. The output of the second controller may be used for controlling the motor to have the antenna directed toward e.g. a satellite irrespective of the motion of the vehicle/airplane/vessel.

    摘要: A stabilization device for stabilizing an attachment component relative to movements of a basic component which occur outside a permitted plane of movement. The attachment component and the basic component are connected via a stabilization arrangement that includes: a first compensation arrangement for compensating rotational movements of the basic component with respect to an intermediate component, about rotational axes lying in the plane of movement, including a first compensation device which can be actuated actively, a second compensation arrangement for compensating residual linear movements of the intermediate component in a compensation direction, perpendicular to the plane of movement, in relation to the attachment component, having a second compensation device which can be actuated actively, a plurality of inertial sensors assigned to the first and/or second compensation arrangement, and a control device for actuating the compensation devices for movement compensation as a function of sensor data of the inertial sensors.

    摘要: The present disclosure describes a telecommunications equipment mount. The telecommunications equipment mount includes a stabilization frame having a plurality of lower rails, a plurality of vertical rails, and a plurality of upper rails, the lower, vertical, and upper rails forming a top, a bottom, and at least sides of the stabilization frame to define an open interior cavity; at least one mounting member extending outwardly from, and perpendicular to, one of the sides of the stabilization frame a distance; at least one brace member coupled to the stabilization frame and configured to support the at least one mounting member; and at least one mounting pipe secured to the at least one mounting member. The stabilization frame is configured to ballast the mount on a mounting structure when telecommunications equipment is secured to the at least one mounting pipe. Telecommunications equipment mount assemblies are also described herein.

    摘要: Mobile surveillance systems (MSSs) and related techniques are provided to improve the safety and operational flexibility of unmanned aircraft systems (UASs) and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). An MMS may include an extendable mast, a motor configured to control movement of the extendable mast between a stowed position and a deployed position, and a logic device configured to communicate with and control the extendable mast and the motor. The logic device may be configured to adjust a speed of the motor based on a position of the extendable mast between the stowed position and the deployed position and based on deployment or stowing of the extendable mast. The logic device may be configured to adjust a torque of the motor based on the position of the extendable mast and based on deployment or stowing of the extendable mast.

    摘要: A pedestal is provided for mounting a portable antenna onto a platform. The pedestal includes a ring, a base, a horn and a prong composed of three-dimensionally printable composite resin. The ring attaches to the platform. The base inserts into the ring and includes an outer tube having a pair of axially distributed outer holes. The horn includes an inner tube for insertion into the outer tube and an inverted pyramid that connects to the inner tube. The inner tube includes at least three axially distributed inner holes. The prong has two probes that insert into the outer holes and two of the inner holes to secure the horn to the base.

    摘要: Novel tools and techniques are provided for implementing antenna alignment, and, more particularly, to methods, systems, and apparatuses for implementing antenna alignment using a gimbal. In various embodiments, a gimbal system might be provided. The gimbal system may be at least one of a passive two-axis gimbal, a passive three-axis gimbal, an active two-axis gimbal, and/or an active three-axis gimbal. At least one antenna may be coupled to the gimbal system. The gimbal system may be configured to compensate for at least one of a movement of a structure and/or a wind load on the at least one antenna. Additionally and/or alternatively, the gimbal system may be configured to align the antenna toward the position and orientation where there is the signal quality is optimized.

    摘要: The present invention regards a platform and elevation support arrangement (1) and a method for manufacture thereof. An elevation support (3) is to be hingedly mounted to a platform (5) around a first axis (X1) extending along a first direction (B1) via a hinge member (7) arranged between the platform (5) and the elevation support (3); and wherein the elevation support (3) is configured to be locked to the platform (5) in a fixed position by means of an adjustable locking mechanism (9), comprising a first and a second opening (11′, 11″) arranged at a first distance (D1) from each other and comprising a first and second sliding shaft element (13′, 13″) arranged at a second distance (D2) from each other each configured to slide along a second direction (B2) perpendicular to the first axis (X1). The method comprises the steps of providing the platform (5), the elevation support (3) and the adjustable locking mechanism (9); mounting the elevation support (3) to the platform (5); adjusting the adjustable locking mechanism (9) so that the first distance (D1) corresponds with the second distance (D2); and locking the adjustable locking mechanism (9) by sliding the first shaft element (13′) into the first opening (11′) and by sliding the second shaft element (13″) into the second opening (11″).
