  • Patent number: 10665937
    Abstract: The present application provides an antenna system for use in an electronic device having wireless communication capabilities. The antenna system includes a conductive ground structure and one or more arms. Each arm of the one or more arms having two ends and a conductive path between the two ends, where a first one of the two ends of the arm is coupled to the conductive ground structure. From the first end and along the conductive path, the arm extends along an edge of the conductive ground structure a distance away from the conductive ground structure, where the distance between the edge of the conductive ground structure and the corresponding conductor path of the respective one of the one or more arms encompasses an area forming a loop which is internal to the antenna system. The antenna system further includes a secondary conductive structure, coupled to the conductive ground structure, which extends into the area forming the loop which is internal to the antenna system.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 5909102
    Abstract: A battery attachment apparatus (201) for attaching a battery (200) to an electronic device (100) includes a fixed latch arrangement and a contact arrangement. The fixed latch arrangement is carried on the electronic device (100) and the battery (200). The contact arrangement has a flat contact (220) carried on the battery (200) and a spring contact (310) carried on the electronic device (100). Upon mating the flat and spring contacts (220 and 310), the spring contact (310) deflects and urges the battery (200) into engagement with the fixed latch arrangement, thereby, securing attachment of the battery (200) and electrically connecting the battery (200) to the electronic device (100).
