  • Patent number: 7636244
    Abstract: A computing device having an improved enclosure arrangement is disclosed. One aspect of the enclosure pertains to enclosure parts that are structurally bonded together to form a singular composite structure. In one embodiment, structural glue is used to bond at least two unique parts together. Another aspect of the enclosure pertains to enclosure parts that are electrically bonded together to form a singular integrated conductive member. In one embodiment, conductive paste is used to bond at least two unique parts together. The improved enclosure is particularly useful in portable computing devices such as laptop computers.

  • Patent number: 6413103
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for reducing electromagnetic interference emissions are disclosed. According to one aspect of the present invention, a cable includes a first coaxial cable component, a second coaxial cable component, and a grounding plate. The first coaxial cable component has a first end and a second end, and includes a first shield. The second coaxial cable component also has a first end and a second end, and includes a second shield. The grounding plate is arranged to be conductively coupled, e.g., electrically coupled, to the first shield and the second shield, and is offset from the first end of the first coaxial cable component, the second end of the first coaxial cable component, the first end of the second coaxial cable component, and the second end of the second coaxial cable component. In one embodiment, the grounding plate is also arranged to contact a ground source.

  • Patent number: 5028163
    Abstract: An elastic bearing for steering rods of motor vehicles with a stud (1) which is rotatable and which is movable with limited angular and radial mobility. The stud (1) is pressed with interposition of an elastomer bushing (2) into an intermediate shell (3) to permit limited angular and radial mobility of the stud. The intermediate shell (3) is rotatably supported in a joint housing (9), is simpler to produce, and has close moment of rotation tolerances even during operation. For this purpose, the intermediate shell (3) has on the outside a collar (4). Two bearing shells (7, 8) are set between the intermediate shell (3) and the joint housing (9) and are supported against the collar. The bearing shells (7, 8) are pressed by a spring element (10) supported on the joint housing (9) in the axial direction of the stud against the collar (4).
