  • Patent number: 8462520
    Abstract: A metal shielding can includes a top wall and a surrounding wall. The surrounding wall extends downwardly from a periphery of the top wall, and includes a bottom surface and a groove formed in the bottom surface for receiving a tin solder element. The strength of the tin solder element to bond the metal shielding can to a circuit board can thus be enhanced so that the metal shielding can can be secured firmly on the circuit board. Moreover, the tin solder element can be positioned accurately relative to a solder pad of the circuit board, so that the post-soldering precision is easy to control and there is no solder overflow or adverse effect on an electronic component mounted on the circuit board. Thus, rework yield can be enhanced considerably to reduce manufacturing costs.

  • Patent number: 8379409
    Abstract: A touch panel is characterized in that one side of a top panel protrudes beyond a side of a bottom panel, signals of sensing areas or conductive layer on the top panel for sensing capacitive variation or voltage variation are transmitted to a bottom surface of the protruded side, signals of sensing areas or conductive layer on the bottom panel for sensing capacitive variation or voltage variation are transmitted to a bottom surface of the top panel through conductive adhesives and to the bottom surface of the protruded side, and the top panel has a flexible PCB formed on the bottom surface of the protruded side to receive those signals. As the flexible PCB is not sandwiched between the top and bottom panels, all layers of the touch panel can be uniformly and tightly bonded and touch insensitivity caused by air penetration into the touch panel can be prevented.

  • Patent number: 8379408
    Abstract: Provided are an electromagnetic shield structure capable of reducing the contamination of electromagnetic noise which is radiated from a digital device into a wireless device, and a wireless apparatus using the electromagnetic shield structure. This structure has a shield function to reduce the influence of the noise radiated from an LSI (102), by a first shield (3) and a second shield (4). An open face (4g) of a first L-shaped structure portion (4a) and an open face (4h) of a second L-shaped structure portion (4b) are opposed to each other. Accordingly, even if the first L-shaped structure portion (4a) and the second L-shaped structure portion (4b) are excited by the LSI (102), the electromagnetic fields radiated from the open faces (4g and 4h) cancel each other out to reduce the radiation of noise from the first L-shaped structure portion (4a) and the second L-shaped structure portion (4b).

  • Patent number: 8373998
    Abstract: A shield that protects high-value input resistors in a power meter against unwanted effects due to electromagnetic interference from a nearby power supply and/or due to crosstalk from adjacent phases. The shield includes multiple printed circuit board shields that are arranged between each of the input resistors on a main printed circuit board in the power meter. Each PCB shield has a conductive layer that provides the shielding against unwanted energy. The resistors are arranged in a diagonal or parallel manner between each pair of PCB shields to prevent the resistor from movement, which prevents pin fatigue and fixes the value of the parasitic capacitance that is produced in the resistor-PCB-shield combination. In another configuration, the PCB shield is made of a flexible material, and snakes between and over the top or around the side ends of each resistor in a serpentine fashion, protecting the resistors from unwanted energies from both the top and the sides.
