Abstract: An apparatus for helping to protect an occupant of a vehicle includes a main airbag inflatable to cover a portion of a vehicle and to help provide protection from impacts with the covered portion of the vehicle, and an auxiliary airbag connected to the main airbag, the auxiliary airbag being inflatable to cover portions of the vehicle left uncovered by the main airbag. The auxiliary airbag includes a deployment portion and a restriction panel. The deployment portion is inflatable to extend from the main portion and having a first length. The restriction panel has a second length that is shorter than the first length. The restriction panel overlies the deployment portion and has opposite ends connected to opposite ends of the deployment panel. The deployment portion, when inflated, is configured to tension the restraining panel between the opposite ends of the deployment portion and position the restraining panel for receiving and absorbing impacts.

Abstract: Disclosed is a portable communication apparatus. The portable communication apparatus includes a main housing having an upper surface divided into a first area including a first key array having a plurality of keys and a second area aligned downwardly from the first area, and a swing housing provided at an upper surface thereof with a display unit and aligned in the second area while facing the second area in order to selectively open or close the second area.

Abstract: A sliding/folding-type portable apparatus includes a body housing; a sliding housing adapted to travel along the longitudinal direction of the body housing while continuously facing it to expose or hide the top surface of the body housing; a folding housing adapted to rotate about a first hinge axis to fold on or unfold from the sliding housing and to rotate about a second hinge axis, which is perpendicular to the first hinge axis, to reverse the top and bottom surfaces thereof; and a dual-axis hinge sliding module connected between the sliding housing and the folding housing to provide the folding housing with the first and second hinge axes.

Abstract: A wireless cell phone comprising a handset, a keypad assembly rotatably coupled to the handset, and a handset cover rotatably coupled to the handset. The keypad assembly is rotatable about at least two axes, and removable from the handset. The keypad assembly has a first side for a telephone keypad and a second side for a data communication keypad. The handset cover is rotatably coupled to the handset and includes an exterior display and an interior display. The exterior display is capable of displaying electronic information when the handset cover is in a folded position with respect to the handset.

Abstract: Disclosed is a wireless headset phone. The wireless headset phone includes: a body housing; at least one hinge support rotatably mounted to the body housing, for attaching the headset phone to the left or right ear of a user; an earpiece provided in the hinge support; and an ear hook connected to the hinge support to support the headset phone, the ear hook being fit around the ear of the user to enable the user to put on the headset phone.

Abstract: A portable communication device includes a main body housing having a mounting groove on a first surface thereof, and a sliding/pivoting housing slidably mounted in the mounting groove and rotatable about a hinge axis in one side thereof. Alternatively, a portable communication device may include a main body housing having a mounting groove on a first surface thereof and a hinge axis in a first side thereof, and a sliding/pivoting housing to rotate about the hinge axis, such that the sliding/pivoting housing rotates about the hinge axis when a first side thereof is positioned on the hinge axis.

Abstract: A clip-on wireless device for use with a mobile communications device by an operator wearing an article of upper-body clothing. The device includes a body having a housing and a clip connected to the housing. The body is light-weight so as to permit the body to the carried on the article of clothing by the clip. An integrated circuit is carried within the housing and includes radio communications circuitry for communicating with the mobile communications device. An earpiece is included and a cable connects the earpiece to the circuitry within the body. A spring and reel mechanism inside the housing retracts the cable into the housing when the earpiece is not in use.
