Patent number: 11330736Abstract: A video recorder (100) is configured and assembled to provide improved ventilation for cooling and improved protection against liquid intrusion. The video recorder is formed of a main chassis housing, a top cover, and a bezel for coupling the top cover to the main chassis housing. Once assembled, channels are formed which provide paths for both liquid egress and airflow intake. The channels allow airflow into fan intake openings located within a top portion of the main chassis housing. The channels further provide for liquid to be diverted away from the fan intake openings.Type: GrantFiled: October 21, 2020Date of Patent: May 10, 2022Assignee: MOTOROLA SOLUTIONS, INC.Inventors: James Hoglund, David H.

Patent number: 7758353Abstract: A circuit board connector assembly mounted in a housing and method of mounting are described. The assembly has orthogonal first and second circuit boards (CB). The CB has a CB connector containing a CB housing with CB electrical contacts. A flexible electrical link has a link connector mounted in a link connector housing with link electrical contacts. A resilient pad is mounted on a link connector housing and a flexible sheet is mounted to both the pad and the link. The sheet spans a length of the link. When the length of the link is substantially planar, the sheet provides a ramp tapering away from the pad. During mounting of the assembly in the housing, the CB connector is operatively coupled to the link connector thereby forming a first connector assembly, and an abutment edge of the second circuit board slidably engages the sheet thereby compressing the pad.Type: GrantFiled: March 10, 2009Date of Patent: July 20, 2010Assignee: Motorola, Inc.Inventors: Chee Hian Lee, David H. McClintock, Chong Yeow Oo

Patent number: 7484981Abstract: A submersible electrical connector assembly (300) includes an electrical connector (301) mounted to a first substrate (309) where a second substrate (311) adjoins the first substrate (309). The second substrate (311) is comprised of a pliable material that acts as a seal. The first substrate and second substrate are positioned within a compartmentalized area of an electrical device housing for preventing water or other fluid from entering an aperture within the housing. Although water may inadvertently enter the electrical connector (301), the connector assembly (300) is substantially submersible since water is prevented from entering the housing (400) as used for an electronic device.Type: GrantFiled: February 1, 2007Date of Patent: February 3, 2009Assignee: Motorola, Inc.Inventors: Jorge L. Garcia, Travis R. Coleman, Christopher D. Crawford, Chee Hian Lee, David H. McClintock, Kin Fatt Phoon

Patent number: 7381086Abstract: A high reliability battery contact assembly (100) for use in an electronic device includes a battery contact block (103) comprised of a plurality of cantilevered contacts (105, 107, 109). A redundant ground contact (111) is connected to the metallic housing of the electronic device (101) and positioned adjacent to the battery contact block (103). The cantilevered contacts include a primary power contact (105), a sensing contact (107) and a ground contact (109). The battery contact assembly (100) is advantageous in that it requires a very limited amount of surface area while still working to prevent a reset condition of an electronic device that might occur due to a loss in electrical continuity during adverse conditions.Type: GrantFiled: February 1, 2007Date of Patent: June 3, 2008Assignee: Motorola, Inc.Inventors: Peter B. Gilmore, David H. McClintock, Robert J. Mulligan, Bok Yeam Ong

Patent number: 7083445Abstract: An apparatus for engaging and disengaging a first connector half (202) from a second connector half (204) includes a first ramp (206) and second ramp (216) for each connector half. The first and second ramps (206, 216) have frictional properties and geometries which cancel forces to provide for automatic separation of the ramps during connection of the two connector halves. For disconnection, the first and second ramps translate a horizontal push force (240) at the ends of the ramps into an upward motion so as to disengage the first connector half (202) from the second connector half (204).Type: GrantFiled: May 4, 2005Date of Patent: August 1, 2006Assignee: Motorola, Inc.Inventors: Peter H. Mills, David H. McClintock, Eduardo J. Moralejo
