Abstract: Aspects of the present invention include an apparatus for hanging a display device. In one implementation, the apparatus for hanging a display device, includes an upper mount plate suitable for attaching to a flat surface having a left cable extending downward and approximately normal to a longitudinal axis of the upper mount plate and a right cable extending downward and approximately normal to the longitudinal axis of the upper mount plate. In addition, the apparatus further includes a lower mount plate attachable to a back portion of a display device. The left cable is coupled to at least two approximately vertically aligned receiving points on a left portion of the lower mount plate. The right cable is coupled to at least two approximately vertically aligned receiving points on a right portion of the lower mount plate.

Abstract: A wireless headset is described that communicates with a base and is secured to a user's ear. The headset has an elongated casing, a speaker, a microphone and a transceiver. A battery pack extends from the second end of the elongating casing generally parallel to the speaker where the battery pack is designed to be retractably engaged against the user's ear to secure the headset.

Abstract: A hands-free cradle and kit for hands-free operation of a mobile phone. The mobile phone has a female-shaped communications port for passing signals. A recess shaped to receive the mobile phone is formed in the cradle casing. A male-shaped communications connector protrudes into the recess from a wall of the casing. A latch protrudes from the wall of the casing into the recess. The mobile phone has a slot situated to engage the latch when the mobile phone is received in the recess. The latch is capable of moving, while engaged with the slot in the mobile phone, from a raised position to a lowered position in which the communications connector mates with the communications port of the mobile phone. The latch is locked when moved to the lowered position. The latch can be unlocked to permit movement from the lowered position to the raised position.

Abstract: A desktop phone station for synchronizing desktop phone contact data with portable contact data stored in a portable data loading device. A communications port on the phone station provides a communications interface for the portable data loading device. The desktop phone station is capable of receiving the portable contact data from the portable data loading device through the communications port. A user interface is provided on the exterior of the phone. The user interface includes control buttons, one of which is a data synchronization button. When the data synchronization button is pressed, the portable contact data received through the communications port is synchronized with desktop phone contact data stored in a memory of the desktop phone station.

Abstract: A portable data loading device for transferring data to and from a mobile phone is described and claimed. The portable data loading device includes a housing and a board within the housing. The board contains a data storage device for storing data and a microcontroller for controlling the transfer of data to and from the mobile phone. The portable data loading device also includes a selection mechanism in communication with the board for selecting between the transfer of data to the mobile phone from the portable data loading device or the transfer of data from the mobile phone to the portable data loading device. An input/output port is also included in the portable data loading device to directly engage the portable data loading device to the mobile phone.

Abstract: A hands-free cradle for receiving a mobile phone to enable hands-free operation of the mobile phone. The mobile phone has a data port for passing data signals and an antenna port for receiving antenna signals from an external antenna. The cradle includes a base assembly having a longitudinal axis. An elevator assembly is joined with the base assembly. The elevator assembly is shaped to receive the mobile phone. The elevator assembly is moveable along the longitudinal axis, when the mobile phone is received, to define an upper position and a lower position. A data connector protrudes from an opening, when the elevator assembly is moved to the lower position, to interface with the data port of the mobile phone. An antenna connector is situated to interface with the antenna port of the mobile phone when the mobile phone is received in the elevator assembly. The antenna connector moves with the elevator assembly along the longitudinal axis between the upper and lower positions.

Abstract: A headset is described for use in connection with either mobile telephones, conventional landline telephones or personal computers. When used with wireless applications, the headset is housed in a generally elongated casing having an ear bud, having a speaker therein, and a battery pack extending therefrom which are used in conjunction with one another to secure the headset against a user's ear. The battery pack includes a lip that is designed to cradle the helix of a user's ear against the casing and is positioned distal of the ear bud such that the battery pack is located behind a user's ear when the headset is in its operating position. The battery pack and the ear bud are further positioned on the casing to equally distribute the weight of the headset about the ear bud and prevent unnecessary movement of the headset about ear during operation.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for adding at least one and preferably two new data entry functions to otherwise conventional flip-type cell phones. One such data entry function is handwritten alpha-numeric entry using the fingertip as the entry device. The other such data entry function is use of the fingertip for point and click. Thus, the apparatus does not require a special tool for data entry. A button or switch added on the side of the phone, permits switching between the two data entry functions. By depressing a button on the side, the user can use the touch pad as a point and click device. This will allow service providers to offer user friendly web pages that look and feel like surfing the web at home or office. The invention also offers the ability to operate both the numeric phone keypad and the touch pad simultaneously.
