  • Publication number: 20150334855
    Abstract: A protective case for an electronic device and a method for acoustic transmission in airtight environment are disclosed. The protective case includes a case body defining a sealed accommodating space. The accommodating space is configured to receive the electronic device that has a screen and an audio generating section and/or an audio receiving section. The case body has a protective film disposed corresponding to the screen so that when the electronic device is received in the accommodating space, an air chamber is formed between the film and the electronic device. The protective film has a PET layer and a thickness of 0.05 mm to 0.25 mm. The film is spaced from the electronic device by an interval of substantially 0.25 mm. Thereby the protective film acts as a diaphragm for transmitting sound to the audio receiving section and/or for transmitting a sound generated by the audio generating section outside.

  • Publication number: 20140262712
    Abstract: A water-proof button assembly includes a seat, a sealing member, a button and a contact member. The seat has an opening and an inward protrusion extends inward from the inside of the opening. The sealing member is installed in the opening and has a through hole which is defined by an outer portion. The outer portion contacts the inward protrusion of the seat. The diameter of the outer portion is larger than the diameter of the button. The contact member is located corresponding to the button and contacts the inward protrusion. When the button is pressed, the force pushes the sealing member to contact against the inside of the opening of the seat to enhance the sealing effect between the sealing member and the opening. The sealing member provides a bouncing force for returning the button to the initial position.

  • Patent number: 7659856
    Abstract: An extremely miniaturized digital TV signal reception antenna built in a mobile device includes a substrate, an antenna unit and a switch unit. The substrate is provided with a plate having a grounding metallic surface and a first clearance surface. A second clearance surface is provided on the same side of the grounding metallic surface with a metallic microstrip line for electrically connecting to an output end of the switch unit. Input ends of the switch unit are electrically connected with a plurality of leads of the first clearance surface. The other ends of the plurality of leads are electrically connected with the antenna unit. Finally, when a tuner of a portable digital television switches the channels, signals of the switched channel are simultaneously output to the switch unit. According to the frequency of that channel, the switch unit automatically switches to a suitable range of bandwidth for receiving the digital TV signals, thereby performing the reception of the digital TV signals.

  • Patent number: 7382322
    Abstract: A circularly polarized patch antenna assembly having a relatively compact volume includes a substrate, a radiation metal piece, a grounded metal piece and a signal-inputting body. A plurality of frequency down-conversion metal pieces in a form of elongate stripe extends from four sides of the grounded metal piece, thereby to reduce the resonant frequency. The frequency down-conversion metal pieces are adhered on the side face of the substrate, so that the frequency down-conversion metal piece on one side face is arranged diagonally with respect to the frequency down-conversion metal piece on the opposite side face. When the resonant frequency of the antenna is to be reduced, the position and the area of the frequency down-conversion metal piece can be adjusted but the increased area of the frequency down-conversion metal piece cannot be larger than a half area of the side face of the substrate. Alternatively, the length of the frequency down-conversion metal piece can be increased.
