Abstract: An optical lens laminate has an adhesive member with at least one aperture, an optical member with an optical feature; and another optical member with an optical feature. The lens laminate may be made by positioning the at least one adhesive member between the optical members, with the apertures aligned with the lens features, and pressing the optical members together.

Abstract: An optically clear adhesive (22) couples a lens assembly (12) and a display assembly (14) in an mobile electronic device (200). The optically clear adhesive (22) is at least partially cured from UV light (24) provided from a UV light source (26) reflected from a reflective surface (30) coupled to an interior surface (20) of a housing (16) surrounding the lens assembly (12) and display assembly (14). In an embodiment, the reflective surface (30) is a reflective paint (30A) applied to the interior surface (20) of the housing (16). In another embodiment, the housing (16) is insert molded around a reflective insert (30B) that includes the reflective surface (30).

Abstract: A first housing member (102) has a catch member (110) that engages a catch feature (302) on an inside surface of a second housing member (104) when the housing members are assembled together. A release window (117) is formed in the side of the second housing member to facilitate unlatching of the catch member from the catch feature. Alternatively, a latch release member (114) may be disposed in the release window so as to allow unlatching without the use of a tool. Additionally, the complaint covering may be formed so as to provide a water seal between the housing members, via sealing ridge (802) and a sealing groove (902).

Abstract: An apparatus for protecting an accessory connector (12) on a communication device (10). The communication device can include an opening (14) for providing access to the connector. The apparatus can be a cover (16) attached in a tethered relation to the communication device. A portion of the cover can be flexible so as to allow a user to selectively move the cover between a first position and a second position. In the first position, at the cover can substantially close the opening such that the connector is substantially protected from the infiltration of solid particles and the gross intrusion of liquids. In the second position, the cover can be held away from the connector such that substantially unimpeded access to the connector is permitted. The cover and communication device can have various associated features to ensure that the cover is retained in the first and second positions.

Abstract: A radio communication device (100) includes a navigational thumbwheel (102) that surrounds the periphery of the display area (114). Movement of the navigation thumbwheel (102) allows for movement of item(s) displayed on display area (114). The navigational thumbwheel (102) can be rotated either clockwise or counterclockwise. User controls (104) can be used to provide further movement/selection capabilities. In another embodiment, the navigational thumbwheel (102) can be depressed along certain portions of its outer ring (110), allowing the user further movement or selection capabilities using the thumbwheel (102).

Abstract: A clip (100) for surface mount termination includes a first conductor or retainer (102), a second conductor (104) and a dielectric element (106). The second conductor includes a center conductor contacting portion (144) defining a central bore (140) for receiving the center conductor (206) of a coaxial cable (202). The second conductor further includes a first flange (142) and a second flange (143) for mounting the clip to the surface (302) of a printed wiring board (300), thereby electrically terminating the cable at the printed wiring board.

Abstract: A clip (100) for securing a cable (202) and shield (216) to a surface (209) of a printed wiring board (208) includes a retainer (102) and a shield clip (112). The retainer includes a first side wall (104) and a second side wall (106) joined by a base (105). The side walls and base define a channel (108) sized to retain the cable. The shield clip extends from the retainer and is spaced from the retainer to retain a wall of the shield between the retainer and the shield clip. The retainer further includes a flange (110) for mounting to the surface of the printed wiring board.
