    Abstract: Electronic devices and other apparatuses adapted to receive electromagnetic wave communications are disclosed. An outer housing encloses various device components, including at least an internal antenna located fully therewithin and adapted to receive/send communications from/to an outside source via RF or other electromagnetic waves. A ceramic coating can be a thermal spray coating that covers at least a portion of the outer surface proximate to the internal antenna, and can be “RF transparent”—adapted to allow communications to/from the internal antenna via electromagnetic waves. The outer housing can be plastic, metal or a combination thereof. For metal or other non-RF transparent housings, an RF-transparent insert can be fitted into a window in the housing to permit communications to the internal antenna.

  • Patent number: 7359206
    Abstract: A self-guiding cover assembly for a vacuum electron device (VED) enclosure (704, 1316) has a cover (1002, 1302), a pair of guide plates, and a pair of guide elements (1304, 1306). The cover has at least one electrical connector (1314) disposed on the inside thereof for mating with a VED. The pair of guide plates is disposed on opposite sides of the outside of the sidewall of the cover. The guide plates each have a track (1310) which guides the guide elements (1304, 1306) mounted on the cover such that the cover is constrained in its motion when opening or closing in order to avoid damaging the connectors to the VED. The cover further comprises a breach lock mechanism for seating the VED into the VED enclosure by rotation of a sleeve (714). The cover (1002, 1302) defines first (1004) and second (1006) chambers separated by a panel 1010. The top of the VED protrudes into the first chamber through an adapter plate 802 having hole 804 for passage of the VED there through.

  • Patent number: 7304864
    Abstract: A portable electronic device (100) includes a base cover (12), a latching assembly (13) including a knob (14) and a spring (16), and a removable panel (18). The knob includes a sliding slit (1462a) and a latching projection (1452). The panel includes a latching hole (185) and a resisting protrusion (1852). The knob is engagable in the latching hole. The knob is attached on the base cover and can be rotated. One end of the spring biases the knob, and another end of the spring protrudes out of the sliding slit and biases the base cover. When the panel is attached on the base cover, the resisting protrusion and the latching projection interfere with each other to drive the knob to rotate in a first direction, the spring rebounds and drives the knob to rotate in an opposite second direction, and the resisting protrusion is secured below the latching projection.
