  • Patent number: 7130434
    Abstract: The present invention provides a solution to the needs described above through a microphone PCB with an integrated filter. The invention provides for an electret microphone assembly. The microphone assembly includes a multilayer printed circuit board. A field effect transistor with a gate is coupled to the electret microphone. The field effect transistor drain is coupled to provide audio frequency output to an audio output node, and the field effect transistor source is coupled to a ground. A first end of a resistor is coupled to the drain of the field effect transistor and the second end is coupled to a filter. The filter attenuates unwanted electromagnetic interference associated with a radio frequency transmitter.

  • Patent number: 3978328
    Abstract: A pocket calculator includes a main frame which consists of a keyboard, a display and display drivers mounted on a printed circuit board, a case, and a connector for receiving one of a plurality of arithmetic or processor modules. Each processor module includes an arithmetic chip mounted in a package which is, in turn, mounted on a printed circuit board having an edge connector. The case of the calculator has an aperture for receiving each one of the modules. The connector on the printed circuit board of the main frame is mounted in registry with the aperture and is disposed for receiving the module, such that any one of the number of processor modules may be employed with the same calculator main frame.
