  • Patent number: 7339530
    Abstract: A portable communication device and an antenna system include a part having a ground plane located within and extending through the part. A hinging section is joined to the part and stretches along an end of the part for providing rotation of the part in relation to another part around an axis and providing a hinge cavity inside the hinging section surrounding the axis. An antenna element is at least partly provided inside the hinge cavity and the ground plane extends from the part into the hinge cavity at a distance from the antenna element.

  • Publication number: 20070259685
    Abstract: Electronic equipment, such as a mobile phone, PDA or other device, is operative to turn on and to turn off keylock function or another function or to alter a characteristic of such function in response to shaking or other movement of the electronic equipment, e.g., when the mobile equipment is shaken at a given frequency and amplitude, according to a given code, in a given direction, e.g., twisting/twirling and/or in an arcuate path or linear path. The electronic equipment includes a motion transducer providing motion signals representing motion and a comparator that compares motion signals to determine whether they match predetermined or programmed motion signals. A method of turning on or off or altering a function or a characteristic of a function of electronic equipment includes detecting occurrence of motion and in response thereto carrying out the turning on, turning off and/or altering if that motion matches a predetermined or programmed motion.

  • Publication number: 20070252679
    Abstract: A vibrator assembly includes an electric motor, a shaft driven by the motor, and a cylindrical weight coaxially positioned on the shaft free end, wherein the cylindrical weight has a center of gravity that is radially offset from the shaft axis. The cylindrical weight includes a first portion that is lighter in weight than a second portion. When the vibrator assembly is installed within an electronic device, the cylindrical shape of the weight limits the amount of shaft deflection that can occur when the electronic device is dropped or subjected to other impact forces.

  • Publication number: 20070200771
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a portable communication device and an antenna system. The device comprises an antenna feeding circuit and at least a first part having a hollow interior where different electrical elements are provided and provided with a main section having a certain width, length and a first height, and an antenna system. The antenna system comprises a ground plane (22, 24) located within and extending along essentially the whole width and length of at least the main section and an antenna element (28) located within the first part. The ground plane is provided in one piece and the only electrical elements of the first part being electrically connected to say ground plane are radio transmission elements.

  • Patent number: 7233678
    Abstract: A communication terminal includes a housing carrying therein a radio antenna element, a speaker, and a chamber that acts as an electromagnetic resonance cavity for the antenna and as an acoustic resonance cavity for the speaker. The speaker is mounted inside the chamber and is coupled to the outside of the housing through a sound channel. The terminal includes a user interface on a front side of the housing and the speaker is placed behind the user interface as viewed from the front side, with the sound channel extending from a channel inlet at the speaker to a channel front outlet at the front side.

  • Patent number: 6667781
    Abstract: An electronic device provided with a front lit LCD (13) having a theoretical viewing area (TVA). The electronic device comprises a transparent front light guiding plate (14) extending between the LCD (13) and a front (11) of said electronic device and the front (11) has an opening (12) through which the LCD (13) can be viewed through the transparent front light guiding plate (14). A masking (20) is provided between the LCD (13) and the front light guiding plate (14), said masking (20) having an opening (21) that substantially corresponds to the theoretical viewing area (TVA) of the LCD (13), and extending outwards from said opening (21). The opening (12) in the front (11) of the electronic device is larger than the opening (21) in the masking (20).

  • Publication number: 20020090982
    Abstract: An accessory device (8; 19) for use in connection with a mobile telephone (1) and connectable to at least one sound reproducing unit (13) comprises means for playing back audio files as audibly perceptible signals via the sound reproducing unit (13). It further comprises cable means (9) for connection to the mobile telephone (1), and a microphone (11). By using a cable between the accessory device and the mobile telephone the two devices can be placed separated from each other. This removes the risk of breaking the two devices from each other, and the accessory device can be designed independently of the design of a specific phone model. By further incorporating a microphone in the device there is no longer a need for having a microphone in the headset, and thus a normal standard headset without a built-in microphone can be used.

  • Patent number: 6394222
    Abstract: The invention relates to an adjustable brace (1) comprising a pair of resilient elements (2, 3) which are interconnected at the ends (4, 5). The resilient elements are curved so that one element (2) is predominantly positioned externally in the brace, while the other element (3) is predominantly positioned internally in the brace. Means (6) are provided to cooperate with both elements between their ends to adjust the distance between the elements. If the means are affected in a direction toward each other, e.g. halfway along the brace, tensile forces will be generated in the internal element and compressive forces in the external element and the resulting force will cause the brace to curve additionally. The field of use is preferably for braces which are to extent behind the ear to hold a loudspeaker, side bars of a pair of glasses, etc. which are to be adapted to an individual anatomy.
