  • Publication number: 20150271371
    Abstract: A user device and method are provided for visually camouflaging a lens. A housing of the user device having at least one outer layer of opaque material with a pattern of small holes laser etched into the at least one outer layer of opaque material. A sensor is attached behind the pattern of small holes. A processor in communication with the sensor detects an image through the pattern of small holes. In one embodiment, each of the small holes has a dimension that is less than is humanly visible such as between 5-10 ?m. All or a subset of the holes may pass completely through the opaque material. A second subset of holes may each be to a selective depth in the opaque material, such as opaque material having layers of different colors, to form a camouflage pattern.

  • Patent number: 9099785
    Abstract: An improved system 100 and method of reducing RF energy leakage from being trapped in a gap (cavity) 178 between a battery 102 and printed circuit board (PCB) 104 in an electronic communications device 106 is provided by a RF shield assembly that can extend between the battery and the PCB. The RF shield assembly can comprise a conductive wrap 168 and conductive foam 170 connected to metal pads 138 and 140 along the ground plane 136 of the PCB 104.
