Abstract: A communication device comprises a first structural module with a power source, as well as second, and third structural modules. The first structural module is between the second and third structural modules. The assembled communication device so formed has an elongated form, in which the second structural module is in a first end, the third structural module is in a second end and the first structural module is at least partly between the second and third structural modules.

Abstract: A scrollbar or touchpad including a touch area and disposed on a flexible layer that is supported by a rigid substrate. The bottom surface of the flexible layer and the top surface of the substrate, eventually in combination with elements disposed therebetween are configured to provide a pattern of varying resistance to depression of the flexible layer. A user will feel the varying resistance to depression when moving a fingertip over the touch sensitive surface, thereby receiving tactile feedback. The elements disposed between the bottom surface of the flexible layer and the top surface of the substrate can be collapsible members such as collapsible domes or switches that produce a “click” sound when collapsing, thus providing both tactile and audible feedback to the user.

Abstract: A communication device comprises a first structural module (101, 401) with a power source (120), as well as second (102, 302, 402), and third (103, 403) structural modules. The first structural module (101, 401) is between the second (102, 302, 402) and third (103, 403) structural modules. The assembled communication device (501) so formed has an elongated form, in which the second (102, 302, 402) structural module is in a first end, the third structural module (103, 403) is in a second end and the first structural module (101, 401) is at least partly between the second (102, 302, 402) and third (103, 403) structural modules.
