  • Patent number: 10429684
    Abstract: A display tile having a frame whose compliance is increased in a well determined region to accommodate the different thermal expansions of the frame and one or more substrates to which the frame is fastened. The display tile has also regions of increased compliance that will deform to allow different parts of the frame to be brought into contact and glued to the lateral sides of two superimposed substrates when at least one lateral side of one of the substrates is not coplanar with the corresponding lateral side of the other substrate.

  • Patent number: 8143543
    Abstract: An actuating element for controlling an electronic device is providing. The actuating element including a front cover having an actuating surface to be actuated by a user and a support structure adapted to be coupled to the front cover. The support structure having guiding rips that guide the movement of the actuating element in a housing upon actuation of the actuating element. The front cover having centering shoulders that contact the guiding rips for positioning the support structure relative to the front cover when the front cover is coupled to the support structure.

  • Patent number: 7507904
    Abstract: An electrical cable includes a first electrical conductor longitudinally surrounded by a first insulator, and a second electrical conductor that is substantially parallel to the first electrical conductor. The second electrical conductor is substantially longitudinally surrounded by a second insulator, and the second insulator includes a recess to partially expose the second electrical conductor. A metal layer longitudinally surrounds the first and second insulators. In another embodiment, an electrical cable includes a first electrical conductor and a second electrical conductor parallel to the first electrical conductor. An insulator longitudinally individually surrounds each of the first and second electrical conductors, and the insulator includes a radial recess through which the first electrical conductor is accessible. A metal layer longitudinally encapsulates the insulator and fills the recess such that the metal layer contacts the first electrical conductor through the recess.

  • Publication number: 20050062037
    Abstract: In order to combine high flexibility and complete electromagnetic shielding in an electrical line comprising at least one insulated conductor (A) surrounded by an insulation layer (1), an exposed ground conductor (MA) is provided at at least one site (F). A metal layer (MS) is applied by vapor deposition onto the line, said layer being applied directly onto the ground conductor (MA) at the exposed site (F). Alternatively, the ground conductor may be completely exposed. In another embodiment of the invention, the vapor-deposited metal layer (MS) is used as a ground conductor.
