Patent number: 7292459Abstract: A handheld communication apparatus includes a metallic insert molding member, a circuit board and a shielding frame. The metallic insert molding member includes a metal plate. An electronic component is mounted on the circuit board. The shielding frame defines opposite first and second openings, wherein the shielding frame is bonded to the metal plate of the metallic insert molding member at the first opening, thereby forming a shielding case. The electronic component on the circuit board is inserted into the second opening of the shielding frame to be shielded by the shielding case.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2006Date of Patent: November 6, 2007Assignee: Arima Communications Corp.Inventor: Szu Wei Wang

Patent number: 7288727Abstract: A shield frame (800) is provided that allows for narrow width tracks to be used in a radio frequency (RF) shielding apparatus (900). The shield frame (800) is formed of a sheet metal frame (700) overmolded with a conductive elastomer (802) to form narrow edges (808, 810) that provide compliance in a +/?z-axis (814) directions while thicker portions of the overmolded conductive elastomer prevent buckling of the elastomer. The shield frame (800) can be sandwiched between two substrates (902, 908) of a communication device (900) having components (904) requiring RF shielding. Narrowing of the conductive elastomer overmold (802) allows ground tracks/runners (906) to be used on a substrate (902) which are narrower in width (912) than the shield frame width (702) thereby providing increased area for component placement.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2006Date of Patent: October 30, 2007Assignee: Motorola, Inc.Inventor: Jorge L. Garcia

Publication number: 20070235221Abstract: The present invention is a metal shielding apparatus; it includes a cover shielding and a bottom shielding. The cover shielding has a number of holes while the bottom shielding has a number of jutted points. The holes and the jutted points can be used for alignment when combining these two covers. And there is at least one raised part among the jutted points for a better fitting of the cover and bottom shieldings and further prevents from the looseness. Furthermore, the holes, jutted points and raised parts can also be setup on the cover and the bottom shieldings interchangeably for the same effect.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 26, 2006Publication date: October 11, 2007Inventor: Jia-Hao Chang

Patent number: 7262369Abstract: According to various aspects of the present disclosure, exemplary embodiments are provided of EMI shielding apparatus capable of providing board level EMI shielding for one or more electronic components while also providing dissipation of heat generated by the one or more electronic components. In one particular embodiment, an apparatus generally includes a board level shield having at least one resiliently compressible EMI gasket disposed along at least a portion of the board level shield. At least one thermally-conductive compliant material is disposed relative to an inner surface of the board level shield and to the one or more electrical components. The at least one thermally-conductive material can form a thermally-conducting heat path from the one or more electrical components to the board level shield.Type: GrantFiled: May 10, 2006Date of Patent: August 28, 2007Assignee: Laird Technologies, Inc.Inventor: Gerald Robert English

Patent number: 7256355Abstract: A spacer for use in a mobile device fills the space between a component assembly and a housing. The spacer includes a layer of compressible material for insertion between the component assembly and the housing. A plurality of compressible features are provided on a face of the layer. Upon insertion of the component assembly and assembly of the housing, the compressible features are compressed to fill a gap between the component assembly and the housing without over-compressing the main body of the spacer, allowing the body of the spacer to cushion any subsequent impact to the mobile device.Type: GrantFiled: July 14, 2004Date of Patent: August 14, 2007Assignee: Research In Motion LimitedInventors: Herrebertus Tempelman, Robert W. Phillips

Patent number: 7183498Abstract: A high-frequency module has an attached shield case. Barrier 36 of the shield case has wall 37 provided by being bent from ceiling section 32; wall 38 that is opposed to wall 37 and that is provided by being bent from ceiling section 32; and linkage section 39 for linking the tip end of wall 38 to the tip end of wall 37. The shield case further has: a crossing section at which wall 37 crosses ceiling section 32 and side plate 33; notches 43 respectively provided at the crossing sections at which wall 38, ceiling section 32 and side plate 33 cross one another; and division section 44 extending downward from notches 43 for segmentalizing side plate 33. A boundary between circuit block 4 and circuit block 5 is provided at a position corresponding to barrier 36. Connection section 34 is connected to the ground of circuit block 4 or circuit block 5. As a result, a module having a superior shielding performance can be provided to prevent leakage of a signal from a circuit provided on the printed circuit board.Type: GrantFiled: October 4, 2005Date of Patent: February 27, 2007Assignee: Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.Inventors: Tomohide Ogura, Junichi Kimura, Noriharu Esaki, Tatuya Okamoto

Patent number: 7176385Abstract: A scheme is provided for reducing the degree to which EMI from high voltage components of a fuel cell system or a fuel cell powered vehicle is induced in low voltage components of the system or vehicle. In accordance with one embodiment of the present invention, the electrical components of the system's high voltage region and the electrical components of the system's low voltage region are positioned such that, absent EMI shielding structure between the high and low voltage components, a substantial amount of EMI from the high voltage components would be induced in the low voltage components. EMI shielding structure is configured to define a conductive enclosure about the high voltage region and the low voltage region and a conductive EMI barrier between the high voltage region and the low voltage region.Type: GrantFiled: November 5, 2003Date of Patent: February 13, 2007Assignee: General Motors CorporationInventors: Ralph Hobmeyr, Jeff Shull, Titus Herschberger, Hartmut Hinz, Steve Rysdam
