An antenna system () for a portable communication device () is provided. The antenna system is comprised of a retaining structure (), an antenna flap (), and a first pivot coupling (). The retaining structure provides a means for securing the retaining structure to the portable communication device. The antenna flap includes an antenna structure (). The antenna structure is comprised of an antenna radiating element () and/or an antenna impedance matching network (). The first pivot coupling pivotally connects the antenna flap to the retaining structure. The first pivot coupling is configured to allow the antenna flap to pivot freely on the first pivot coupling responsive to a force of gravity acting on the antenna flap. The retaining structure is configured as a holster in which the portable communication device can be disposed.

Cable strain relief device () for electronic equipment () that can be attached at any position on a cable (). The device () can secure the cable () to any fixed point (). The device can protect the cable connection () to the electronic equipment by transferring mechanical load placed on the cable () to a strong rigid location () on the equipment or any fixed point. It also protects the cable from damage typically associated with conventional clamping techniques.

A redundant architecture for a brake-by-wire system is provided. The system includes a pressure source; at least one brake actuator for exerting a braking force on a wheel as a result of pressure provided by the pressure source; at least one servo valve for controlling an amount of pressure provided from the pressure source to the at least one brake actuator in response to a servo valve command signal; a shutoff valve in line with the at least one servo valve for preventing pressure from the pressure source from being provided to the at least one brake actuator in response to a shutoff valve command signal; a processor which executes code in order to carry out brake control operations, the processor outputting the servo command signal and the shutoff valve command signal in response to system inputs provided to the processor; a shutoff valve enable device for performing brake control operations redundant at least in part with the processor and based on the system inputs, and selectively enabling shutoff valve command signals from the processor to be provided to the shutoff valve based on the redundant brake control operations.
