ILLUMINATED FLAG
An illuminated flag, the flag includes a first layer of flag, a second layer of flag and a spacer separating the first and second flag layers to form an optical cavity between the first and second flag layers. A light source is contained within the optical cavity to illuminate the first and second layers. A light distribution element between the light source and layers of the flag distributes the light uniformly upon the inside of the layers. This illumination from within the flag provides a substantially uniform glow to the exterior of the flag. The flag can be supported by a standard flag pole and is able to move in a breeze.
Module for a cellular communications monopole
A module for a base station monopole has a wall defining an interior space. The wall includes an opening configured to receive electronic equipment and a vent opening in communication with the exterior of the module. A reinforcement member is secured to the wall and is positioned opposite to the opening and adjacent the vent opening. A baffle is supported adjacent the wall where the baffle has an intake opening and an exhaust opening in communication with the vent opening. The intake opening is laterally offset from the exhaust opening.
EXTENSION MODULE WITH HOUSING FOR ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS
A fixture for an elongate structure includes an extension module having a housing secured therearound. The extension module includes a longitudinal body portion having first connector and a second connector. One or more access ports extend through the longitudinal body portion and into an interior area of the longitudinal body portion. The extension module includes a first seating surface and a second seating surface. The housing includes a first axial cover extending radially and a second axial cover each extending radially outward from the longitudinal body. The first axial cover and the second axial cover are axially spaced apart from one another and define a space therebetween and around the longitudinal body portion. A circumferential cover extends circumferential around radially outermost edges of the first axial cover and the second axial cover and surrounding the space.

Above Grade, Rapidly Deployable Foundation System
Disclosed is a rapidly deployable, above grade, low-thermal conducting, grillage-type foundation system made of composite materials, and erectable at or above grade for supporting structures like equipment shelters and communication masts. These units include generator sheds, communication shelters, fuel tanks, radio masts, and the like. The foundation system has one or more layers of beams laid at right angles to each other, and is used to disperse heavy point loads of a superstructure to an acceptable ground bearing pressure. Web stiffeners were affixed to foundation beams and vertical support members were fixed to the upper surface of the foundation beams, to stiffen the foundation and structure at every footing. The foundation is adapted to be installed with little site preparation, is easily transportable with a medium lift helicopter. Essentially, the foundation was engineered to only use steel in its assembly for the metal feet, angles, plates and the like.
POWER TRANSMISSION TOWER
A power transmission tower comprises a tower body (100) longitudinally arranged and cross arms (120) transversely arranged on the tower body. The tower body (100) is provided with a first transverse direction (Y) and a second transverse direction (X), which are perpendicular to each other, in the horizontal direction. A supporting piece (110), which extends outwards from the tower body (100) in the first transverse direction (Y), is arranged on the power transmission tower. One end of the supporting piece (110) is fixed to the tower body (100) and the other end of the supporting piece (110) is a free end (111, 112). The cross arms (120) extend in the second transverse direction (X). One end of each cross arm (120) is connected to the free end (111, 112) and the other end of each cross arm (120) is used for arranging overhead wires. The power transmission tower reduces corridor width and occupies less area.

Adjustable tower reinforcement and stabilization attachment
The present invention provides an adjustable bolt-on brace attachment for strengthening standard field irrigation towers and tapered sections of field irrigations towers to stabilize a tower. In one aspect of the present invention, an attachment for stabilizing field irrigation towers allows the user to easily assemble the adjustable bolt-on brace in the field wherein three threaded ¾ inch rods span between the each of the three weight bearing poles of the field irrigation system. Each ¾ inch threaded rod is spanned between each pair of weight-bearing poles of a tower attaching at each pole by a galvanized steel two-sided clamp which is double bolted-on to each pole. The adjustable threaded rods may span from 15 inches to 49 inches of each of three tower faces and adjustable double sided steel clamps fit field irrigations tower legs sizes from ⅞ inch to 2½ inches diameter.

SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR INSTALLING A CROSS ARM ON A UTILITY POLE
A system is disclosed which provides the ability to install a cross arm on a power pole utilizing an electrically isolated bucket which is free of all hydraulic components used by an operator in the bucket to manipulate the bucket. The system also utilizes an in-the-bucket rechargeable battery powered electric tool such as a saw, drill etc. without a need for a hydraulic electric generator in the bucket. The system includes the ability to provide communication to and from and to supply electrical power to remote portions of an electrically isolated boom, by transmitting optical power and control signals through an electrically non-conductive optical fiber.
