Embodiment Construction

[0032]The Figures collectively represents actual sub sections of the fabrication drawings for the CommPuter controller communications controller, as disclosed in U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60 / 886,905, and which is incorporated herein by reference.

[0033]A Gimbaled Mount System design, in accordance with the present invention was derived from experience with the repeated historical failure of earth stations, that were required for communications purposes, being made inoperable following either an earthquake, that shifted the position of an existing structure, or where wind damage had occurred. The present invention addresses a design which is a component part of a much larger approach to emergency communications previously disclosed in U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60 / 886,905. The design and method described herein provides a method to recreate or fabricate, a fully functional device that significantly addresses the short falls or failures of previous systems an...

Abstract

Described herein is a method and system for gimbaled mounting of satellite dishes. The gimbaled mount for satellite systems overcomes some of the most common negative events affecting satellite communications. The system is a cost effective solution that amortizes the cost of the additional equipment to well over the customary three to five years for satellite use and extends its working life expectancy to 20 years or more. Utilization of stainless steel rather than normal steel or lighter duty aluminum further extends the mounting systems longevity. The inclusion of an environmental feedback system for both snow and ice damage, wind damage, and earthquake damage increases the projected useful life of the mounting system.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCES TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60 / 886,905 filed Jan. 26, 2007, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention was designed as primary component within a larger communications system. This proposed communications component addresses the need for a more robust connection between devices that may be relied on during an emergency or security event and cannot be allowed to fail while facilitating security and normal communications services during normal times. The nature of this design allows for variation in capacity and size within tight design constraints that insure compliance with the engineering principles that insure performance during a stressful situation whether the actions are thermal or mechanical in nature.[0003]More particularly, the present invention addresses the need for a reliable weather resistant mounting system for satel...
