International Classification:

E05D 11/10

US Classification:

16330

Abstract:

A hinge assembly () for a clamshell-type electronic device includes a spindle () and casing sleeve (). The hinge assembly () facilitates a single-split hinge. In addition to providing the mechanical hinging action, the hinge assembly () provides a reliable electrical connection between a first portion () and a second portion () of the clamshell device. The spindle () includes a nock () through which a linking member () of a flexible substrate () passes. The nock (), having a semi-circumferential stop () bridging a first nock wall () and second nock wall (), facilitates the electrical connection between an electrical circuit disposed in the first portion () of the electronic device and an electrical circuit disposed within the second portion () of the electronic device. In one embodiment, a hinge assembly () facilitates other components, such as an image capture device () being disposed within the hinge region of an electronic device.

International Classification:

H04M001/00

US Classification:

455/550100, 455/575700

Abstract:

A device () such as a wireless phone, pager, organizer, PDA, or handheld PC includes an orientation sensor () to determine the orientation of the device (). One of a first notification and a second notification is given to the user () of the device () based upon the determined orientation. An exemplary embodiment provides a first notification via an audible ringer () when the orientation of the device () is determined to be substantially horizontal. A second notification that is substantially inaudible is otherwise provided via a vibration generator ().
