Abstract:
Abstract of the DisclosureAn implantable analyte sensor including a sensing region for measuring the analyte and a non-sensing region for immobilizing the sensor body in the host. The sensor is implanted in a precisely dimensioned pocket to stabilize the analyte sensor in vivo and enable measurement of the concentration of the analyte in the host before and after formation of a foreign body capsule around the sensor. The sensor further provides a transmitter for RF transmission through the sensor body, electronic circuitry, and a power source optimized for long-term use in the miniaturized sensor body.
Abstract:
An electronic device includes a main body, a slidable cover member disposed movably on the main body, and a magnetic member is sandwiched between the main body and the cover member to enable the user to move the cover member relative to the main body by a finger while gripping the main body in the palm of the user's hand.
Abstract:
To eliminate the necessity of providing a special heat insulating structure or heat resisting properties and to simplify wiring. A modulation/demodulation unit, transmission/reception units of active and standby transmission systems, branching units of active and standby transmission systems, and a line switching and monitor control unit are accommodated in one casing. The modulation/demodulation unit and the line switching and monitor control unit, commonly used in the active and standby transmission systems, are incorporated in the lower part of the casing, and the transmission/reception units and the branching units of the active and standby transmission systems are incorporated in the upper part of the casing. The transmission/reception units and the branching units of the active and standby transmission systems are arranged in parallel such that the branching units are positioned at the center thereof.

Abstract:
A portable communication apparatus adapted to be extendedly rotated in multiple stages and a method thereof. The apparatus and method comprise a first housing extending along a longitudinal direction; a second housing connected to the first housing by a dual hinge device and adapted to be rotated in multi-stages toward or away from the first housing about first and second hinge axes in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction; a dual hinge device which rotatably connects the first and second housing to each other, provides the first and second hinge axes, and is adapted to rotate the second housing about the first hinge axis, as well as to rotate the second housing about the second hinge axis in such a manner that the second housing extends along the longitudinal direction of the second housing when a button unit, which is exposed to the exterior of the first housing, is pressed; and a hinge locking module positioned in the first housing and the dual hinge device to extendedly rotate or hold the second housing as the button unit is pressed.
Abstract:
A radio card, such as a PCMCIA card, received by an electronic device has a first interface coupling radio circuitry within the radio card to the electronic device. The radio card also has a second interface, independent of the first interface, that couples with an antenna disposed within the electronic device upon receipt of the radio card by the electronic device. The second interface may comprise a plurality of antenna contacts located along tracks of the electronic device used to aid reception of the radio card. A second and possibly external antenna may also automatically couple with the second interface upon insertion. By selective placement of the antenna contacts on the radio card, a specific one of the antennas may be selected. Otherwise, internal switching circuitry supports antenna diversity or simultaneous use of a plurality of antennas.
Abstract:
A unitary one-piece mounting bracket for mounting a meter transponder at the top of a rod or tube in connection with utility meters that are located in subsurface pit enclosures. The mounting bracket includes multiple blind receptacles to receive the rod or tube and supports the transponder without the need for removable fasteners.
Abstract:
A compact radio equipment includes internal circuits on two or more printed circuit boards electrically connected to each other and securely mounted in structure. With this structure, a first metal shield frame is mounted on a first printed circuit board to cover components mounted on the first printed circuit board. A second printed circuit board is mounted on the first metal shield frame.
Abstract:
In an operating component placement system for electronic equipment, assembly units (5) having cables (8) whereby operating components (6a to 6e) are connected to connectors (7a to 7e) are used to mount the operating components (6a to 6e) to a front panel (4), with connectors (7a to 7e) connected to connectors (3a to 3e) on a panel board (3) for signal input for various functions, and the cable lengths for operating component groups (6a to 6c) and (6d and 6e) having the same form established so as to be longer than the maximum distance between the connectors (3a to 3c) and (3d and 3e) to which each operating component group is to be connected on the panel board 3 and hole groups (4a to 4c) and (4d and 4e) for mounting each of the operating component groups to the front panel. Operating components having the same form can be selectively laid out by changing the cable positioning.
Abstract:
A hinged flip assembly includes a door cover (120) having a chamber (214) and a hub (122) for rotating along a hinge mechanism (133). A transducer (206) is disposed in the chamber (214). At least one wire (202) is coupled (222) through the hub (122) of the door cover (120) for connecting to the transducer (206). A wire connector (204) terminating the at least one wire (202) and the wire connector (204) is also coupled (222) through the hub (122).
