  • Publication number: 20160126999
    Abstract: A mobile terminal apparatus includes a casing in which a circuit board, a battery pack, and a power receptor are provided. A power feeder is provided in the battery pack and is connected to the power receptor. Terminal plates, with each having one end held on one surface which is included in the power receptor, and having two widest surfaces which are parallel to each other, one of which faces and is parallel to one of two widest surfaces of an adjacent terminal plate. The terminal plates are aligned along a direction orthogonal to the two widest surfaces. A flexible circuit board includes a flexible bendable portion provided along the direction in which the terminal plates are aligned and connects the circuit board to the power receptor.

  • Patent number: 9270795
    Abstract: In a communication antenna unit which is stored inside a casing, a flexible circuit board is supported by a support member in a bent state. A first antenna conductor pattern which configures a first communication antenna and a human body sensor are substantially formed on a flat plane section of the flexible circuit board adjacent to a curved section of the flexible circuit board. A second antenna conductor pattern which configures a second communication antenna is substantially formed on the curved section. The first antenna conductor pattern and the second antenna conductor pattern are connected to each other through an inductor coil which configures a resonant circuit portion.

  • Patent number: 9210823
    Abstract: To provide a mobile terminal having a board support structure capable of reducing impact on built-in components of the mobile terminal when a housing thereof undergoes a primary mode of deformation. The upper end portion and the lower end portion of a main board 40 are supported by bosses 111a, 111b, 113a, and 113b. The upper end portion and the lower end portion of the main board 40 are fixed in a direction perpendicular to the surface of the main board 40. The upper end portion thereof slides with respect to the peripheries of small-diameter cylindrical portion insertion holes 211a and 211b of a module holding board 30 on the front side and a rear housing 20 on the rear side. Thus, the main board 40 can move in a plane direction (in a longitudinal direction).

  • Patent number: 4107478
    Abstract: An angle modulated wave demodulation system demodulates an input angle modulated wave by means of a phase locked loop system which comprises a phase comparator, which is operated responsive to an input angle modulated wave. A voltage controlled oscillator is supplied with a part of the output of the phase comparator which controls its oscillation frequency. The oscillator supplies its oscillation frequency to the phase comparator. The phase locked loop system has a lock frequency range which decreases its width when the level of the input angle modulated wave is below a predetermined level. The portion of this lock range in which the width of the lock range decreases is positively utilized. The voltage controlled oscillator oscillates at a frequency equal to the center frequency of the carrier of the input angle modulated wave, when the phase locked loop becomes unlocked.
