  • Publication number: 20130267131
    Abstract: A connector adapted to be disposed in a mobile device to electrically connect with a signal terminal of an electronic device is provided. The connector includes a casing, a tube, a pin and a terminal set. The casing has a first side, a second side and a through hole, and the tube is disposed in the second side. The pin has a first end and a second end. The first end is slidably disposed in the through hole and the second end protrudes out of the tube. The terminal set includes a first terminal and a second terminal, and the second terminal is movably connected with the first terminal. When the mobile device is assembled to the electronic device, the signal terminal of the electronic device leans against the pin, so that the pin leans against the first terminal to separate the first terminal and the second terminal.

  • Patent number: 7382314
    Abstract: A handheld GPS device has a device body. A base band processor is installed in the device body. Three antennas with high directivity are respectively installed perpendicular to three surfaces of the device body for receiving GPS signals. A control device is coupled to the base band processor and the antennas with high directivity. At least two switches are respectively coupled to the control device and each of the three switches corresponds to one of the three antennas with high directivity. One of the switches enables the control device to permit the base band processor receiving GPS signal from the corresponding antenna with high directivity when the frame triggers one of the switches.
