Abstract:
FIG. 1 is a front perspective view of a first embodiment of a handheld communication device, showing our new design; FIG. 2 is a rear perspective view of the first embodiment thereof; FIG. 3 is a front view of the first embodiment thereof; FIG. 4 is a rear view of the first embodiment thereof; FIG. 5 is a first side view of the first embodiment thereof; FIG. 6 is a second side view of the first embodiment thereof; FIG. 7 is a top view of the first embodiment thereof; and FIG. 8 is a bottom view of the first embodiment thereof. FIG. 9 is a front view of the handheld communication device of FIG. 1 showing the illuminated region in an illuminated state; FIG. 10 is a front perspective view of a second embodiment of a handheld communication device, showing our new design; FIG. 11 is a rear perspective view of the second embodiment thereof; FIG. 12 is a front view of the second embodiment thereof; FIG. 13 is a rear view of the second embodiment thereof; FIG. 14 is a first side view of the second embodiment thereof; FIG. 15 is a second side view of the second embodiment thereof; FIG. 16 is a top view of the second embodiment thereof; and FIG. 17 is a bottom view of the second embodiment thereof. FIG. 18 is a front view of the handheld communication device of FIG. 10 showing the illuminated region in an illuminated state; FIG. 19 is a front perspective view of a third embodiment of a handheld communication device, showing our new design; FIG. 20 is a rear perspective view of the third embodiment thereof; FIG. 21 is a front view of the third embodiment thereof; FIG. 22 is a rear view of the third embodiment thereof; FIG. 23 is a first side view of the third embodiment thereof; FIG. 24 is a second side view of the third embodiment thereof; FIG. 25 is a top view of the third embodiment thereof; and FIG. 26 is a bottom view of the third embodiment thereof. FIG. 27 is a front view of the handheld communication device of FIG. 19 showing the illuminated region in an illuminated state; FIG. 28 is a front perspective view of a fourth embodiment of a handheld communication device, showing our new design; FIG. 29 is a rear perspective view of the fourth embodiment thereof; FIG. 30 is a front view of the fourth embodiment thereof; FIG. 31 is a rear view of the fourth embodiment thereof; FIG. 32 is a first side view of the fourth embodiment thereof; FIG. 33 is a second side view of the fourth embodiment thereof; FIG. 34 is a top view of the fourth embodiment thereof; and FIG. 35 is a bottom view of the fourth embodiment thereof; and, FIG. 36 is a front view of the handheld communication device of FIG. 28 showing the illuminated region in an illuminated state. The broken lines shown in FIGS. 10-18 and FIGS. 28-36, that are immediately adjacent to the shaded areas, and define the unshaded regions, show portions of the handheld communication device that form no part of the claimed design of the second and fourth embodiments. The broken line shape having broken lines radiating in FIGS. 9, 18, 27, and 36, show the illuminated region in an operation of use and form no part of the claimed design.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for distinguishing momentary loss of battery contact from a battery undervoltage condition in a portable device sense the current into the portable device from the battery, and when the current drops to a level indicating that contact with the battery has been lost, the portable device is allowed to operate at a lower voltage than a nominal undervoltage limit of the battery until contact is resumed.

Abstract:
A retainer includes a main body having a top wall, a first side wall, a second side wall spaced opposite the first side wall, a front wall, and a rear wall spaced opposite the front wall along a longitudinal axis. The walls define an interior cavity sized and shaped to receive an accessory plug. The front wall defines a front opening that extends into the interior cavity and is sized and shaped to receive a portion of a cable. The front wall also includes a first hook and a second hook each positioned below the front opening. The rear wall includes a third hook extending forward into the interior cavity. The retainer is moved forward linearly, and parallel to the longitudinal axis, to secure the hooks to a portable communications device.

Abstract:
An adjustment assembly includes an adjustment knob configured to be rotated about an axis, a potentiometer, and an adapter configured to be disposed between and coupled to both the adjustment knob and the potentiometer. The adapter is configured to be rotated about the axis to move the potentiometer from a first position along the axis to a second position along the axis.
