Patent number: 9523616Abstract: An apparatus, and an associated method, forms a user interface permitting input of input instructions to an electronic device. Input commands are evidence by tactile input forces applied to a force receiving surface. Force sensing elements are positioned to sense indications of the tactile input force. The force sensing element is caused to exhibit a selected input parameter value through application of a selected force thereto by application of a tightening torque to a fastener positioned in proximity to the force sensing element.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2013Date of Patent: December 20, 2016Assignee: BlackBerry LimitedInventors: Patrick Clement Strittmatter, Marc Edward Holbein, Angela Dawn Usiski, Rene Pierre Marchand

Patent number: 9385786Abstract: A near field communication (NFC) antenna in a mobile device is used to wirelessly charge a battery in the mobile device by placing the mobile device on, or in very close proximity to, a charging station that emits an electromagnetic field. An induced current from the NFC antenna is detected that is above a predetermined threshold for longer than a predetermined duration. The induced current is used to charge the battery in the mobile device.Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 2012Date of Patent: July 5, 2016Assignee: Marvell World Trade Ltd.Inventors: Patrick Clement, Antoine Moret

Patent number: 9324487Abstract: This disclosure is directed at least partly to reducing an acceleration of a magnet when a magnet is moved toward an attracting object. An apparatus may include a dampening mechanism to dissipate kinetic energy of the magnet as it traverses within a housing from a first position to a second position. The housing may be at least partially coupled to another surface as a result of a magnetic attraction when the magnet is located in the second position. The dampening mechanism may include use of a fluid and/or gas that is displaced by the magnet to slow acceleration of the magnet as the magnet traverses between the first position and the second position. In some embodiments, the dampening mechanism may be implemented using threads that cause rotation of the magnet or by rollers that slow acceleration of the magnet.Type: GrantFiled: June 11, 2014Date of Patent: April 26, 2016Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Eric Jeffrey Wei, Patrick Clement Strittmatter, Duc Ngo, Allen Weihua Liu
