Patent number: 7536210Abstract: Systems and methods that reduce a number of holes that penetrate into a housing of mobile computing device by employing a modular housing with a housing plate(s) attachable thereto. Such housing plates can form a segment of a stylus trough and also facilitate attachment of hand strap and socket cover arrangement to the housing of the mobile computing unit. By reducing number of openings into the housing, a risk of liquid or particulate contaminants entering into the device and degrading performance of the mobile computing unit can be reduced and reliability increased.Type: GrantFiled: December 9, 2005Date of Patent: May 19, 2009Assignee: Symbol Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Quintin Robert Morris, Katrika Marie Woodcock, Jorg Schlieffers, Christopher N.
