Methods and apparatus for implementing an access point supporting multiple communications protocols

Access points can be mounted in a variety of locations or orientations and can support multiple communications protocols. In some embodiments, an access point includes a main housing and a front housing. The main and front housing are connected by a hinge. A Wi-Fi antenna is included in the front housing in some embodiments. The access point is configured for use in either an open or closed position. When mounted in a vertical position, the front housing can be lowered into a horizontal position, which facilitates a preferred orientation of an antenna with respect to the ground. A first set of cooling fins serves to maintain components of the access point offset from a wall to which the access point is mounted. This facilitates airflow. Additional fins act as a spacer between the main housing and the front housing when the access point is used in a closed position. This facilitates air flow around both sides of the main housing.

The protrusion includes a first through hole, and the base includes a second through hole communicating with the first through hole. The conductive wire includes a first portion connected to the driving portion and disposed between the lid member and the main body, and a second portion continuing from the first portion and inserted in the first through hole and the second through hole. The cooling structure enables enhancement of the heat dissipation and shielding performance.

ELECTRIC POWER GENERATION SYSTEM BASED ON PRESSURIZED FUEL CELL POWER SYSTEM WITH AIR COOLING AND RECIRCULATION AND METHOD FOR ELECTRIC POWER GENERATION BY THE SYSTEM

An air pressure in fuel cells of an electric power generation system comprising a fuel cell stack (PCS) is raised with a pressurized air cooling system with recirculation to values at least two times greater than typical values for an PCS with air cooling. The FCS is either placed in a high-pressure chamber to which air is injected, or air outgoing from the FCS is redirected via a duct back to the FCS inlet and a portion of pressurized fresh air is added thereto. The chamber or the duct is provided with a radiator by means of which circulating air heat is transferred into the external environment. Air recirculation in the chamber or the duct is effected by means of fans for cooling fuel cells. Useful capacity of electric power generation systems based on fuel cells is raised significantly, the necessity of using a humidifier is excluded, and the temperature range of fuel cell operation is expanded.
