US Patent:

6360406, Mar 26, 2002

Filed:

Mar 20, 2000

Appl. No.:

09/528642

Inventors:

Gregory S. Patterson - Morrisville NC
John Thomas Sadler - Wake Forest NC
Jason D. Mareno - Raleigh NC

Assignee:

Ericsson Inc. - RTP NC

International Classification:

A44B 1125

US Classification:

24457, 24453, 24458, 24618, 439357

Abstract:

A cantilever latch mechanism includes a base and a pair of arms extending from the base. The arms are spaced a distanced apart and selectively positionable between an open orientation wherein an opening is formed between the arms, and a closed orientation where the arms are positioned in a closer relation. Each of the arms may include a jaw extending inwardly into the opening. Preferably, the jaws are positioned on different vertical planes on each arm such that they overlap when the arms are in the closed orientation.

Appl. No.:

11/679207

Inventors:

Matthew Paul Hanssen - Wake Forest NC, US
John Thomas Sadler - Wake Forest NC, US

Assignee:

Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications AB - Lund

International Classification:

H04B 1/38

US Classification:

4555753, 4555754, 455 90, 16366

Abstract:

A hinge mechanism movably connects two housings of a wireless communication device such that the housing move relative to each other between open and closed positions. The hinge mechanism include a magnetic detent that initially resists the housing moving between the open and closed positions. However, the magnetic detent yields to move the housing between the open and closed positions whenever a user applies an amount of force that is sufficient to overcome the initial resistance.

US Patent:

Appl. No.:

11/239588

Inventors:

Roy R. Attride - Raleigh NC, US
John Thomas Sadler - Wake Forest NC, US

Assignee:

Sony Mobile Communications AB - Lund

International Classification:

E05F 1/08

US Classification:

16303, 16304

Abstract:

A hinge mechanism pivotally connects first and second housings of an electronics device. The hinge includes a bracket, a floating shaft, a cam member, and a biasing system. The cam member is mounted on the floating shaft. The biasing system is disposed within the first housing, and includes one or more biasing members that allow the cam member and the floating shaft to move axially in a first direction. The one or more biasing members also bias the cam member and the floating shaft in a second, opposing direction. Biasing the floating shaft and the cam member in the second direction maintains the pivotable connection between the first and second housings, and generates the force necessary to yieldingly resist a user pivoting at least one of the first and second housings.

US Patent:

20080070567, Mar 20, 2008

Filed:

Sep 14, 2006

Appl. No.:

11/531716

Inventors:

John T. Sadler - Wake Forest NC, US

Assignee:

Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications AB - Lund

International Classification:

H04Q 7/20

US Classification:

455425

Abstract:

A portable wireless communication device comprises a housing, a transceiver within the housing, and a scented compound associated with the housing. The transceiver permits a user to communicate with one or more remote parties via a base station subsystem in a wireless communication network. The scented compound emits a scent whenever the scented compound is activated. Activation may occur responsive to a user keypress on a keypad of the portable wireless communication device, or to radiated heat that exceeds a predetermined temperature.

US Patent:

20090015563, Jan 15, 2009

Filed:

Jul 11, 2007

Appl. No.:

11/775921

Inventors:

JOHN THOMAS SADLER - Wake Forest NC, US

International Classification:

G06F 3/041

US Classification:

345173

Abstract:

Disclosed is a portable mobile communications device having an integrated interactive touch sensitive graphical icon protective cover over an LCD display. The protective cover is integrated into the housing of the portable mobile communications device and forms a graphical image or icon that only partially obscures the LCD display allowing visual access to the unobscured portion of the LCD display. A touch sensitive layer is integrated into the protective cover and coupled with a processor that is further coupled with the LCD display. A program executable by the processor interprets touch and position data sensed by the touch sensitive layer and provides feedback or responses based thereon via the LCD display depending on a current mode of operation of the portable mobile communications device.

Filed:

Dec 21, 2007

Appl. No.:

11/962226

Inventors:

John Thomas Sadler - Wake Forest NC, US

Assignee:

SONY ERICSSON MOBILE COMMUNICATIONS AB - Lund

International Classification:

H04M 1/02
H05K 5/00

US Classification:

4555751

Abstract:

A mobile phone having a housing or portion thereof that is configured to receive and retain a user insertable image such that the image is viewable by a user. In an embodiment, the image is concealed from view under certain conditions. In the absence of such conditions the image can be viewed by the user. The housing or portion thereof appears similar to any other portion of the housing of the phone except when the image is viewable. The housing or portion thereof can be configured to conceal a regular photograph, for example. Thus, the invention allows economical customization of a phone with unique images without having to provide an additional electronic display. Existing phones can be retrofitted, for example, with a battery cover (or other removable member) embodying the features of the invention.

US Patent:

20100123662, May 20, 2010

Filed:

Nov 14, 2008

Appl. No.:

12/271384

Inventors:

John Thomas Sadler - Wake Forest NC, US

Assignee:

SONY ERICSSON MOBILE COMMUNICATIONS AB - Lund

International Classification:

G06F 3/02

US Classification:

345169

Abstract:

An approach provides for a user interface on a mobile device. A keystroke combination is detected between at least a modification key and a particular key of a keypad. An associated input is determined based on the step of detecting. The modification key is included on a first face of the mobile device and the keypad is included on a second face of the mobile device, the first face and the second face substantially face opposite directions.

US Patent:

62905341, Sep 18, 2001

Filed:

Feb 1, 2001

Appl. No.:

9/775245

Inventors:

John Thomas Sadler - Raleigh NC

Assignee:

Ericsson Inc. - Research Triangle Park NC

International Classification:

H01R 1360
H01R 3500

US Classification:

439534

Abstract:

An assembly for supporting a personal electronic device includes a base and a holder. The holder is adapted to hold the device. The holder is removably connected to the base such that the holder may be selectively removed from and replaced on the base. Also, the holder is adjustably movably connected to the base such that the holder may be repositioned relative to the base. The device may thereby be reoriented relative to the base and, thus, a support surface, when mounted in the holder. A method for handling a personal electronic device includes mounting the device in a holder, mounting the device and the holder on a base, repositioning the holder relative to base to position the device as desired while the holder is mounted on the base, and removing the device and the holder from the base.
