An operating device for a human-powered vehicle comprises a base member and circuitry. The base member includes a power-supply accommodating part configured to accommodate a power supply extending along a reference plane. The circuitry is provided to the base member to extend along an additional reference plane intersecting with the reference plane.

The present disclosure includes devices, and systems for monitoring and detection systems. Some of the methods may include monitoring one or more birds that each has a receiver-located tag and/or a global positioning satellite (GPS) tag, and for each of the bird(s) having a receiver-located tag: receiving, at at least one of a plurality of detection stations, a signal from the receiver-located tag, each of the detection stations comprising two or more directional antennas, determining bird heading information and bird distance information, estimating a position and trajectory of the bird; and calculating an amount of time for the bird to reach a boundary around a wind turbine (TTB). In some methods, for each of the bird(s) having a GPS tag: receiving GPS data from the GPS tag when the bird crosses a geo-fence that surrounds the wind turbine; estimating a position and trajectory of the bird.

Disclosed herein is a wireless transmitter system which provides a small, frequency agile wireless microphone transmitter allowing active performers to have a wireless transmitter system without the inconvenience of a large transmitter. The wireless receiver of the wireless transmitter system comprises a large backlit display, simple operation with auto-scan channel selection, and infrared set for syncing the wireless microphone transceiver and wireless receiver. The wireless transmitter system is simple and easy to set up and operate. The wireless transmitter system further ensures clear, interruption-free performance by utilizing a True RF Diversity design with a pilot tone-key and auto-mute function. This provides maximum operating distance along with eliminating any background noise when the wireless microphone transceiver is out of range or powered off.

A transmitter comprises a main body case, a controller that is provided inside the main body case, a communication unit that is connected to the controller, and an elongated antenna unit that is connected to the communication unit. The antenna unit is disposed along an inner wall surface of the main body case.

To reduce the height in a thickness direction of a mounting substrate. A radio-frequency module includes a mounting substrate, an electronic component, first and second chip components. The electronic component is mounted on a first main surface of the mounting substrate. The first and second chip components are mounted on a second main surface of the mounting substrate. Each of the first and second chip components includes a substrate and a circuit portion. The substrate has first and second main surfaces facing each other. The circuit portion is formed on the first main surface side of the substrate. The second main surface of the substrate in each of the first and second chip components is exposed. A material of the substrate in the first chip component is the same as a material of the substrate in the second chip component.

A tactical communications apparatus is used to establish secure, reliable communications between a forward-deployed communications station and any designated second communicator during a building siege or hostage situation. At least one communications device, at least one processing unit, a transceiver array, and a power supply are mounted to a casing. The casing allows the tactical communication apparatus to be tossed into an area. The transceiver array wirelessly connects to at least one remote terminal, enabling communication via the at least one communication device. The casing also contains a plurality of discrete surveillance devices mounted into the casing to enable an operator to remotely surveil the area around the casing. Further, the tactical communication apparatus also supports at least one offensive device operated via the at least one remote terminal. The at least one offensive device may be activated as cover for responders if communications fail to resolve a situation.
