  • Patent number: 8206181
    Abstract: A connector arrangement is provided comprising an elongate member with a tip end and a base end. The elongate member has at least one ring area electrically insulated from the remaining surface of the elongate member. In the ring area, at least a first contact element and a second contact element electrically insulated from each other are provided. At least a portion of a boundary between the first contact element and the second contact element runs in a direction forming a non-zero angle with a boundary of the ring area.

  • Publication number: 20120129583
    Abstract: Sliding assembly for portable terminals, comprising a first main part, a second main part slidably connected to the first main part, the second main part being spring-loaded by a first elastic module, the first main part comprising a second elastic module with an elastic portion and a portion protruding towards the second main part, which in turn comprising a guiding arrangement with a recessed portion, wherein the recessed portion, the second elastic module and the first elastic module being arranged to cooperate such that the second main part is held in a centre position, the guiding arrangement further comprising an elongated portion arranged to guide the protruding portion out of the recessed portion of the guiding arrangement when an external force is applied to overcome the elastic forces of the first elastic module, wherein the sliding assembly thus being movable out of the centre position into a first end-position.

  • Patent number: 8090421
    Abstract: Sliding assembly for mobile or portable terminals, comprising: a plane first main part; a plane second main part slidably connected to the first main part, the second main part being spring-loaded by a first elastic module adapted to urge the first and second main parts apart from each other, the second main part further comprising a protrusion extending towards the first main part, the sliding assembly further comprising a locking element in the first main part with a recess arranged to cooperate with a first elastic module, such that the locking element is urged against the protrusion, the second main part being arranged to cooperate with the first elastic module, such that the protrusion is urged against the locking element, the second main part of the sliding assembly thereby being held in a center position, wherein the sliding assembly further comprises an actuator arranged to overcome an elastic force exerted by the elastic element onto the locking element when being subject to an outside force, thus re

  • Patent number: 7829812
    Abstract: An input device including a support structure, such as a Printed Circuit Board (PCB), and a switch device, e.g. a switch dome, mounted on the support structure. The switch device may be configured to provide tactile feedback to a user upon depression of the switch device by a finger of the user. The input device also comprises a capacitive touch sensing device, e.g. a capacitive touch screen, which is positioned in relation to the switch device such that the capacitive touch sensing device is configured to sense the capacitance of the finger upon depression of the switch device by the finger. The invention also concerns an electronic device, e.g. a mobile phone, comprising one or several input devices.
