Abstract:
A power supply docking station for a SINCGARS RT-1523 radio has a housing configured to support and provides DC power to the radio and a power amplifier. The housing has an integrated battery compartment for receiving at least two military standard BB-2590 batteries. Each battery can independently power the radio and the power amplifier, such that the other battery can be swapped out while the radio and power amplifier are in use. In another embodiment, a power supply docking station supports and provides power to a Harris 150-series radio. In another embodiment, a power supply docking station supports and provides power to a Harris 160-series radio.
Abstract:
A common battery for providing power to a first of a plurality of radios. The plurality of radios includes at least a first radio and a second radio. The common battery has a size of the smallest of at least two batteries. The common battery comprises a raised concentric wall edge for enabling the common battery to lock in place when used in place of a larger of the first battery and the second battery, such as within a Vehicular Adaptor Amplifier. The raised concentric wall edge has a height of a difference between a height of the first battery and a height of the second battery. In one variation, the common battery comprises a circular piloting interface that uses an outside radius of a respective bayonet connector on the first and second radios to align the common battery to the respective radio.
Abstract:
A universal DC power adaptor for a PRC-148 radio, a PRC-152 radio, a Handheld ISR Transceiver, and similar devices and a method of using the same, is disclosed. The universal DC power adaptor includes mounting and locking features that are common to both the PRC-148 radio and the PRC-152 radio. The universal DC power adaptor further includes certain mounting and locking features that are unique to the PRC-148 radio and other mounting and locking features that are unique to the PRC-152 radio. The universal DC power adaptor also provides an output voltage suitable for both the PRC-148 and PRC-152 radios. Such features also are compatible with the Handheld ISR Transceiver, making the universal DC power adaptor compatible with the ISR Transceiver as well. Additionally, the universal DC power adaptor includes programmable control electronics.
Abstract:
A spring-loaded device is installed into a node housing at a predetermined location. The predetermined location is selected to correspond to another predetermined location into which a stinger may be installed. These predetermined locations on the node housing are selected to further correspond to a predetermined internal location of an RF interface connector. A conducting pin of the RF interface extends through a dielectric between a nail head shaped end, which provides electrical connection with the stinger projection, and an end soldered to a PCB of the amplifier. The amplifier may be installed and the node housing closed before the stinger and spring-loaded device are installed into the housing. This facilitates installation of the stinger into the housing without having to open the housing and remove the amplifier. External threads on the spring-loaded device facilitate installation thereof, but a unique torque is not required therefor.
Abstract:
A connector for electrically connecting an electronic device to another device includes an outer shell with a front surface that terminates at a front side of the connector, an inner core at least partially disposed within the outer shell and including a front surface that is recessed within the outer shell, and a plurality of electrical connecting elements at least partially disposed within the inner core and extending from the front surface of the inner core. The plurality of electrical connecting elements includes a first set of electrical connecting elements and a second set of at least one electrical connecting element, and the first set of electrical connecting elements includes five connecting elements that are arranged in a pentagon pattern. The connector facilitates the transmission of audio signals between devices and also additional analog or digital signals or the transmission of a power supply between the devices.
Abstract:
A switching power supply includes a source of DC voltage and a transformer having primary and secondary windings. A switching circuit is coupled between the DC voltage and the primary winding to provide alternating current to the primary winding. A rectifier circuit is coupled to the secondary winding to provide a DC output voltage. A controller circuit controls the switching circuit to modulate the alternating current provided to the primary winding. A circuit receives a first input signal having a magnitude which is determined by the DC output voltage and a second input signal having a magnitude which is determined by a selected position of a multiposition switch. An output of the circuit generates a feedback signal which is coupled to the controller circuit.
Abstract:
A progammable power supply for providing a regulated DC output power is disclosed. The power supply provides the output power to any one of a plurality of electronic devices adapted for receiving the output power at an operational voltage or an operational current. The power supply receives a programming signal to maintain the output power at the operational voltage or operational current associated with a particular selected electronic device. Accordingly, by varying the programming signal, the power supply can be programmed to provide output power to any one of several electronic devices having differing input power requirements.
