Abstract: An interface card is manufactured with a frame that includes an exposed mounting area on the card extension for receiving a customized cover plate. The cover plate includes customer specific information such as branding information, customer name, logos, trademarks or the like. The cover plate is secured to the card mounting area after manufacture of the card such that the card can be of a generic, non-customer specific design. In one embodiment of the cover plate, the cover plate is formed with a cover that is hinged to the cover plate and can be selectively opened by the end user to reveal elements on the card such as an RF connector.

Abstract translation: 接口卡被制造成具有框架，该框架包括在卡延伸部上的暴露的安装区域，用于接收定制的盖板。 盖板包括客户特定信息，例如品牌信息，客户名称，徽标，商标等。 在制造卡之后，盖板被固定到卡安装区域，使得卡可以是通用的，非客户特定的设计。 在盖板的一个实施例中，盖板形成有盖，其铰接到盖板并且可以由最终用户选择性地打开以露出卡上的元件，例如RF连接器。

Abstract: An antenna structure is comprised of a body, an antenna element coupled with the body, and an arm support coupled with the body and the antenna element. The arm support also includes a recessed portion on one side adapted to receive a two-sided customizable plate. The customizable plate is made of a non-metallic material. The customizable plate is further adapted to fit within the recess and can be adhered to the recessed portion of the arm support. The customizable plate can also be graphically customized to display a viewable image. In addition, the customizable plate can be imprinted with a metallized pattern on the side that faces the recessed portion when seated in the arm support. The imprinted metallized pattern can beneficially affect the performance characteristics of the antenna element.

Abstract translation: 天线结构由主体，与主体耦合的天线元件以及与主体和天线元件耦合的臂支撑构成。 臂支撑件还包括在一侧上的适于接收双面可定制板的凹部。 可定制的板由非金属材料制成。 可定制的板还适于装配在凹部内并且可以粘附到臂支撑件的凹部。 可定制的板材也可以图形定制，以显示可见的图像。 此外，当坐在手臂支撑件中时，可定制的板可以在面向凹部的一侧上以金属化图案印刷。 印刷的金属化图案可以有益地影响天线元件的性能特性。
