  • Electronic device comprising an electronic connector and a flexible printed circuit
    Patent number: 9553385
    Abstract: An electronic device includes an electronic connector, a flexible printed circuit and a structure having a stationary printed circuit board. The electronic connector rotates according to a first pivot axis and a second pivot axis with respect to the structure. The flexible printed circuit is fixed to the electronic connector and the stationary printed circuit board, and transfers an electronic current between the electronic connector and the stationary printed circuit board. The flexible printed circuit board comprises a first partly circular bend moving in response to the rotation of the electronic connector according to the first pivot axis and a second partly circular bend moving in response to the rotation of the electronic connector according to the second pivot axis.

  • Vehicle unit for controlling communications between a vehicle and a wireless device
    Publication number: 20060224305
    Abstract: A vehicle includes a communication unit for communicating with a wireless device including a selection portion and a command portion. The selection portion provides an interface for a user to select functions of the vehicle for control by the wireless device. The command portion of the communication unit receives user input from the selection portion. The command portion includes a controller that accepts the user input from the selection portion and generates the wireless communications to the wireless device. The wireless communications enable the wireless device to communicate with the command portion, which then controls the desired vehicle function.
