  • Patent number: 10966012
    Abstract: A wireless earbud (100) for in-ear use has an earbud housing (110), a loudspeaker (130), a rechargeable battery (140), a first microphone (132) and a second microphone (134). The first microphone (132) is adapted to pick up sound internally from an ear canal of a user wearing the wireless earbud. The second microphone (134) is adapted to pick up sound externally from outside of the ear canal of the user wearing the wireless earbud. Disclosed is also a storage and charging capsule (200) for at least one wireless earbud (100a, 100b). The capsule has an elongate insert part (240) having an earbud chamber (246) adapted to receive the or each wireless earbud (100a, 100b). A cover part (260) slidably receives the elongate insert part (240) and is placeable in an open position in which the cover part is retracted from the elongate insert part to allow insertion/removal of the or each wireless earbud (100a, 100b) into/from the earbud chamber (246) of the elongate insert part (240).

  • Patent number: 8081066
    Abstract: A vibrator assembly includes an electric motor, a shaft driven by the motor, and a cylindrical weight coaxially positioned on the shaft free end, wherein the cylindrical weight has a center of gravity that is radially offset from the shaft axis. The cylindrical weight includes a first portion that is lighter in weight than a second portion. When the vibrator assembly is installed within an electronic device, the cylindrical shape of the weight limits the amount of shaft deflection that can occur when the electronic device is dropped or subjected to other impact forces.

  • Patent number: 8061609
    Abstract: A space-efficient card reader for various electronic devices includes a plurality of adjacent, spaced-apart electrical connector pins extending outwardly from a portion of a printed circuit board (PCB) in an electronic device. A cover is configured to overlie the PCB portion, and includes a plurality of adjacent, spaced-apart apertures formed therein. Each aperture is configured to receive a respective one of the connector pins therethrough when the cover is in a secured position overlying the PCB portion. A receptacle is secured to an outer surface of the cover, and is configured to removably receive a card therein such that electrical contacts on the card make contact with the connector pins extending through the apertures in the cover.

  • Patent number: 7602342
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a portable communication device and an antenna system. The device comprises an antenna feeding circuit and at least a first part having a hollow interior where different electrical elements are provided and provided with a main section having a certain width, length and a first height, and an antenna system. The antenna system comprises a ground plane (22, 24) located within and extending along essentially the whole width and length of at least the main section and an antenna element (28) located within the first part. The ground plane is provided in one piece and the only electrical elements of the first part being electrically connected to say ground plane are radio transmission elements.

  • Patent number: 7233678
    Abstract: A communication terminal includes a housing carrying therein a radio antenna element, a speaker, and a chamber that acts as an electromagnetic resonance cavity for the antenna and as an acoustic resonance cavity for the speaker. The speaker is mounted inside the chamber and is coupled to the outside of the housing through a sound channel. The terminal includes a user interface on a front side of the housing and the speaker is placed behind the user interface as viewed from the front side, with the sound channel extending from a channel inlet at the speaker to a channel front outlet at the front side.

  • Patent number: 6667781
    Abstract: An electronic device provided with a front lit LCD (13) having a theoretical viewing area (TVA). The electronic device comprises a transparent front light guiding plate (14) extending between the LCD (13) and a front (11) of said electronic device and the front (11) has an opening (12) through which the LCD (13) can be viewed through the transparent front light guiding plate (14). A masking (20) is provided between the LCD (13) and the front light guiding plate (14), said masking (20) having an opening (21) that substantially corresponds to the theoretical viewing area (TVA) of the LCD (13), and extending outwards from said opening (21).

  • Patent number: 6394222
    Abstract: The invention relates to an adjustable brace (1) comprising a pair of resilient elements (2, 3) which are interconnected at the ends (4, 5). The resilient elements are curved so that one element (2) is predominantly positioned externally in the brace, while the other element (3) is predominantly positioned internally in the brace. Means (6) are provided to cooperate with both elements between their ends to adjust the distance between the elements. If the means are affected in a direction toward each other, e.g. halfway along the brace, tensile forces will be generated in the internal element and compressive forces in the external element and the resulting force will cause the brace to curve additionally. The field of use is preferably for braces which are to extent behind the ear to hold a loudspeaker, side bars of a pair of glasses, etc. which are to be adapted to an individual anatomy.
