Radio apparatuses and methods for MIMO matrix phasing that may be used to toggle and/or weight the amount of MIMO processing based on the detected level of isolation between different polarizations of the system. Also described herein are apparatuses including auto-range and/or auto-scaling of a signal strength indicator to aid in precise alignment of the apparatus. Any of these apparatuses and methods may also include dynamic power boosting that adjusts the power (e.g., power amplifier) for an RF apparatus based on the data rate. These apparatuses may include a housing enclosing the radio device that includes a plurality of pin elements that may act as heat transfer pins and a ground pin for making a ground connection to the post or pole to which the devices is mounted.

Radio apparatuses for long-range communication of radio-frequency information

Housing for a communication device

An internal combustion engine comprising an engine block including a combustion chamber, a fuel vapor separator, a fuel supply mechanism for introducing fuel to the combustion chamber, a conduit communicating between the fuel vapor separator and the fuel supply mechanism for introducing fuel, and a cooling jacket for cooling the fuel vapor separator.

Marine propulsion device including a fuel injected, four-cycle internal

Disclosed herein is apparatus for positioning a sensor relative to a rotatable timing ring included on an internal combustion engine, which apparatus includes a sensor, a structure for adjustably positioning the sensor on the internal combustion engine and relative to the timing ring, which structure is movable relative to the sensor and to the timing ring, and additional structure for fixing the sensor in adjusted position on the internal combustion engine.

Apparatus for positioning a sensor

A control system for an internal combustion engine, the control system receiving an input signal from an engine speed sensor, receiving an input signal from an engine knock sensor, advancing the spark timing of the internal combustion engine until a knock signal is received from the knock sensor, and, in response to receipt of a knock signal from the knock sensor, retarding the spark timing of the internal combustion engine until a knock signal is no longer received from the knock sensor and thereafter maintaining a substantially constant spark timing until the signal received from the engine speed sensor indicates a change in engine speed.

Ignition system for marine propulsion device

A marine installation comprising a valve and cylinder apparatus including a housing having therein a spool bore extending along an axis, a second bore extending along a second axis parallel to and spaced from the spool bore axis, and a cylinder bore extending along an axis parallel to the spool bore axis, a spool slidably housed within the spool bore, a tubular member slidably housed within the second bore, and a link for moving the spool along the spool bore axis in response to movement of the tubular member along the second axis, a piston slidably housed within the cylinder bore, a piston rod having a first end fixedly connected to the piston, and a second end connected to the propulsion unit for causing pivotal movement of the propulsion unit about its steering axis in response to axial movement of the piston rod, and a cable assembly including a sheath fixedly connected to the tubular member for movement therewith, and an inner core extending through the tubular member and fixedly connected to the second end of the piston rod for movement therewith.

Power steering mechanism for marine installations

A marine propulsion device including a propulsion unit, a gimbal housing for mounting the propulsion unit on a boat transom for swinging movement, and a sending device for sensing the general angular position of the propulsion unit. The sending device comprises a resistance element having an end, a fixed resistor in parallel electrical connection with the resistance element, and a wiper supported on the gimbal housing for pivotal movement along the resistance element. The marine propulsion device also includes structure operable between the wiper and the propulsion unit for moving the wiper along the resistance element in an amount which is variably proportional to the amount of swinging movement of the propulsion unit, and for moving the wiper beyond the resistance element end as the propulsion unit moves beyond the predetermined angle.

Marine propulsion device with swing angle indication mechanism

A marine propulsion installation comprising a propulsion unit including a rotatably mounted propeller and being adapted to be mounted on the transom of a boat, an engine drivingly connected to the propeller, an engine support fixedly connected to the engine and having a slot open at one end, a support member adapted to be mounted on the hull of the boat, a resilient mounting assembly connected to the support member, a bolt connected to the mounting assembly and received in the slot, and a washer operative between the bolt and the engine support for preventing removal of the bolt from the slot.

Marine engine mounting apparatus

A marine propulsion device comprising a gimbal housing adapted to be fixedly mounted on a boat transom, a gimbal ring pivotally mounted on the gimbal housing for pivotal movement relative to the gimbal housing about a generally vertical steering axis, the gimbal ring including a lower end, a support arm extending rearwardly from the lower end, and a generally horizontal cross-member extending across the lower end for preventing deflection of the support arm, a propulsion unit extending rearwardly of the gimbal ring and being pivotally connected to the gimbal ring for pivotal movement relative to the gimbal ring about a generally horizontal tilt axis, the propulsion unit including a portion extending adjacent the support arm for lateral support thereby, and a hydraulic cylinder/piston assembly pivotally connected between the gimbal ring and the propulsion unit for effecting pivotal movement of the propulsion unit relative to the gimbal ring about the tilt axis, the hydraulic cylinder/piston assembly having one end pivotally connected to the lower end of the gimbal ring for pivotal movement relative to the gimbal ring about a generally horizontal pivot axis.
