  • Patent number: 8102675
    Abstract: Described herein is an apparatus having first and second housings and a driver wheel. The first and second housings are coupled together so that they can be driven by the driver wheel to provide for a plurality of apparatus configurations. The apparatus is configured such that the first and second housings are slidable relative to one another from a first overlapping configuration, in which the first and second housings are substantially overlapping, to a second laterally slid configuration in which the first second housings are laterally slid with respect to one another, and then onto a third tilted configuration in which the first and second housings are tilted relative to one another. The apparatus is also configured such that continuous rotation of the driver wheel drives the movement of the apparatus from the first configuration to the second configuration and then onto the third configuration.

  • Publication number: 20110299261
    Abstract: A lightweight radio/CD player for vehicular application is virtually “fastenerless” and includes a case and frontal interface formed of polymer based material that is molded to provide details to accept audio devices such as playback mechanisms (if desired) and radio receivers, as well as the circuit boards required for electrical control and display. The case and frontal interface are of composite structure, including an insert molded electrically conductive wire mesh screen that has been pre-formed to contour with the molding operation. The wire mesh provides EMC, RFI, BCI and ESD shielding and grounding of the circuit boards via exposed wire mesh pads and adjacent ground clips. The PCB architecture is bifurcated into a first board carrying common circuit components in a surface mount configuration suitable for high volume production, and a second board carrying application specific circuit components in a wave soldered stick mount configuration.

  • Patent number: 7729128
    Abstract: An electronic device, like a mobile telephone, has a first section and a second section. The first section and second section are coupled together by a mechanical connection, for example a hinge, swivel or sliding connector. Electronic components in the first section are coupled to electronic components in the second section by conductors capable of transferring power between the first and second sections. A current detector is capable of detecting currents, like surface currents, while a controller is responsive to the current detector. A plurality of reactive elements, like capacitors for example, are coupled to a plurality of switches such that the controller may selectively couple any of the plurality of reactive elements to the conductors by actuating a corresponding switch.
