International Classification:
H01R 13/62
US Classification:
439157
Abstract:
An apparatus for engaging and disengaging a first connector half () from a second connector half () includes a first ramp () and second ramp () for each connector half. The first and second ramps () have frictional properties and geometries which cancel forces to provide for automatic separation of the ramps during connection of the two connector halves. For disconnection, the first and second ramps translate a horizontal push force () at the ends of the ramps into an upward motion so as to disengage the first connector half () from the second connector half ().
Antenna Assembly And Electronic Device With A Retractable Radio Frequency Radiating Element

Assignee:
Motorola, Inc. - Schaumburg IL
International Classification:
H01Q 1/24 H01Q 1/10
US Classification:
343702, 343901
Abstract:
An electronic device having a housing with a shroud locator socket. There is a retractable elongate radio frequency radiating element passing through an aperture of the shroud locator socket, the retractable elongate radio frequency radiating element being electrically connected to an electrical circuit located in the housing and being movable from a fully retracted position when substantially located in the housing to a fully extended position when substantially protruding outside the housing. An end cap is located on a free end of the retractable elongate radio frequency radiating element and there is a shroud having transverse ribs that are transverse to a longitudinal axis (X) of the retractable elongate radio frequency radiating element. The shroud covers a protected length (L) of the retractable elongate radio frequency radiating element proximal to the end cap. The shroud extends and tapers away from the end cap towards the shroud locator socket and the shroud operatively engages the shroud locator socket when the retractable elongate radio frequency radiating element is in the fully retracted position.
Circuit Board Connector Assembly And Method For Assembling Such An Assembly

Assignee:
Motorola, Inc. - Schaumburg IL
International Classification:
H01R 12/00
US Classification:
439 761, 439 67
Abstract:
A circuit board connector assembly mounted in a housing and method of mounting are described. The assembly has orthogonal first and second circuit boards (CB). The CB has a CB connector containing a CB housing with CB electrical contacts. A flexible electrical link has a link connector mounted in a link connector housing with link electrical contacts. A resilient pad is mounted on a link connector housing and a flexible sheet is mounted to both the pad and the link. The sheet spans a length of the link. When the length of the link is substantially planar, the sheet provides a ramp tapering away from the pad. During mounting of the assembly in the housing, the CB connector is operatively coupled to the link connector thereby forming a first connector assembly, and an abutment edge of the second circuit board slidably engages the sheet thereby compressing the pad.

International Classification:
B23K037/04
US Classification:
228049100, 228049500
Abstract:
A solid solder element (), such as a solder perform, is attached onto a contact surface of interest (), such as a heat sink using and adhesive material (). Placement of the adhesive material overcomes alignment and registration issues that may interfere with good contact to components (), such as transistors, during the manufacturing/assembly process, such as a reflow process.

International Classification:
G06F 1/16
US Classification:
361685000
Abstract:
An apparatus () for installation and removal of a mobile communication device () to and from a bracket (), such as mounted in a vehicle, is provided. The apparatus () includes a handle () pivotably coupled () to the mobile communication device (), the handle having first and second lever arms (). The apparatus () further includes a bracket () having first and second pivot point pins () and a compliant member (). During installation the handle () is pivoted in a first direction such that the first and second lever arms () engage the first and second pivot point pins (), and the handle compresses the mobile communication device () into the compliant member () for retention. The lever arms () disengage the pivot point pins () as the handle () is pivoted in an opposite direction thereby releasing the mobile communication device () from the bracket ().

International Classification:
G02F 1/1333 G02F 1/1339
Abstract:
A portable radio includes a housing having a front display. The front display includes a liquid crystal display structure, a first layer of touch panel rear glass disposed exterior to the liquid crystal display structure, and a second layer of touch panel front glass disposed exterior to the first layer of touch panel rear glass. The second layer of touch panel front glass provides a viewable surface and user interface. The front display also includes a vacuum layer disposed between the first layer of touch panel rear glass and the second layer of touch panel front glass, and a plurality of spacers disposed in the vacuum layer that maintain a gap. The front display also includes a seal that at least partially seals and maintains a vacuum within the vacuum layer.

International Classification:
G05B 19/4155
Abstract:
A method and device for thermal mitigation. The communications device including a first radio communications subsystem configured to operate according to a first radio communications protocol and a second radio communications subsystem configured to operate according to a second radio communications protocol. The first radio communications subsystem includes a temperature sensor and an electronic processor configured to determine, via the temperature sensor, a first temperature indicative of a temperature of the second radio communications subsystem, compare the first temperature to at least one predetermined temperature threshold, and deactivate the second radio communications subsystem when the first temperature exceeds a predetermined temperature threshold of the at least one predetermined temperature threshold.
