International Classification:

H04N 7/18

US Classification:

725 76, 725 75, 455 121

Abstract:

A system for bi-directional data content transfer between a plurality of mobile platforms, such as aircraft or cruise ships, and a ground-based control segment. The system includes the ground-based control segment, a space segment and a mobile system disposed on each mobile platform. The ground-based control segment includes an antenna which is used to transmit encoded RF signals representative of data content to the space segment. The space segment includes a plurality of satellite transponders, with one of the transponders being designated by the ground-based control segment to transpond the encoded RF signals to the mobile system. The mobile system includes steerable receive and transmit antennas. The receive antenna receives the encoded RF signals from the satellite transponder, which are thereafter decoded, demodulated, D/A converted by a communications subsystem and transmitted to a server. The server filters off that data content not requested by any occupants on the mobile system.

The receive antenna receives the encoded RF signals from the satellite transponder, which are thereafter decoded by a communications subsystem and transmitted to a server. The server filters off that data content not requested by any occupants on the mobile system. A local area network (LAN) receives the remaining data content and provides same to individual users on the mobile platform in accordance with previously submitted programming requests or data input by the users at access stations associated independently with each user.

A local area network (LAN) receives the remaining data content and provides same to individual users on the mobile platform in accordance with previously submitted programming requests or data input by the users at access stations associated independently with each user. The transmit antenna is used to transmit data content from laptop computers, PDAs or other user electronic devices coupled to the access stations back to the designated satellite transponder. The satellite transponder then transponds the data back to the antenna of the ground-based control segment.

Appl. No.:

8/365027

Inventors:

Arthur M. Morrison - Puyallup WA

Assignee:

Motorsport Accessories, Inc. - Tacoma WA

International Classification:

B60D 700

US Classification:

40591

Abstract:

The ornamental cover is installed on a rectangular, tubular trailer hitch socket for substantially covering or concealing the otherwise undecorated opening of the hitch socket. The cover is configured to be quickly and easily installed over and partly within the opening of any standard frame-mounted hitch socket, thereby improving the aesthetic appeal of the rear of a vehicle so equipped. In the preferred embodiment, the cover includes a plate that includes an outer surface bearing user-selected ornamentation and an insert extending from the center of the inner surface of the plate. The insert is dimensioned for insertion into a standard rectangular hitch socket. An ear extends from the insert and away from the plate for securing the cover partly within the socket. The ear is offset from the center of the insert so that when the cover is installed the ear extends substantially parallel to and adjacent an interior wall of the socket. The ear has a circular bore formed therein, into which an internally threaded nutsert is press fitted.
