Patent number: 8224011Abstract: An ear cup with a microphone apparatus including an inner cup portion, for forming a noise damping space, and an outer cup portion for forming a space for accommodating electronics and/or a current source. The inner cup portion and the outer cup portion are separated by a partition. The inner cup portion has a pocket and two opposingly located recesses in which a bracket for a microphone is disposed. Over the microphone, a windshield is provided, this protecting the microphone from being damaged and also damping wind noise. The windshield has an outer configuration that may be seen as a continuation of the outer cup portion, in order to prevent turbulence in the region of the windshield. The windshield is produced from a porous material, which is surrounded by a mounting frame having nap catches for engagement in snap catches.Type: GrantFiled: April 26, 2006Date of Patent: July 17, 2012Assignee: 3M Innovative Properties CompanyInventor: Henrik Heringslack

Patent number: 7923869Abstract: A power adapter includes a primary side for receiving power from a mains power supply; a secondary side for providing operating and/or charging power, derived from the primary side, to an electronic device connected to the secondary side; presence logic for determining whether the electronic device is connected to the secondary side; and switching logic for turning off the primary side automatically when the presence logic determines the electronic device is not connected. The power adapter thus shuts itself down if no electronic device is attached, and automatically starts itself up when a device is connected to the power adapter and is thus needed. The power adapter may also include voltage detection logic that detects when the device is fully charged. The power adapter also shuts itself down when an attached electronic device becomes fully charged, and automatically starts itself up when the charged state of the electronic device falls below a predetermined level.Type: GrantFiled: July 10, 2008Date of Patent: April 12, 2011Assignee: Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications ABInventors: Fredrik B{dot over (a)}genholm, Stefan Sörensson, Idris Omerovic, Henrik Heringslack

Publication number: 20100245240Abstract: The invention relates to an electronic device and a method for controlling functionality of such an electronic device in relation to a display unit. The electronic device includes a base unit (3); a display unit (2), an orientation sensing arrangement and an orientation determining unit. The display unit (2) has a first surface area and a second surface area (13) joined to each other by a first and second opposite bounding side and is fastened to and movable in relation to the base unit (3). The orientation sensing arrangement comprises a first sensing unit (15) on the display unit (2) and a second sensing unit (16) on the base unit (3), which arrangement detects that the sensing units are able to communicate with each other and indicates this communication. The orientation determining unit then activates selected functionality of the electronic device based on the indication from the orientation sensing arrangement.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 29, 2008Publication date: September 30, 2010Inventors: Henrik Heringslack, Mats Larsson, Stefan Sörensson
