Mobile computing device

A charging cradle includes: a cradle housing having a base portion, and a socket portion configured to interchangeably receive (i) a mobile device, (ii) a battery pack for the mobile device, and (iii) the mobile device in combination with the battery pack; the socket portion including: a shared base surface having disposed thereon a set of shared charging contacts; a first set of guide surfaces extending from the shared base surface and defining a first socket configured to receive the mobile device and, in the absence of the battery pack, to engage the shared charging contacts with a first set of contacts on the mobile device; and a second set of guide surfaces extending from the shared base surface and defining a second socket configured to receive the battery pack and engage the shared charging contacts with a second set of contacts on the battery pack.

Interchangeably connectable charging cradle, battery pack and mobile device

A mobile computing device includes: a device housing including a base, a perimeter wall extending from the base to a perimeter upper edge and having a forward section and a rear section, and an external frame member including: (i) a U-shaped wall removably affixed to the forward section of the perimeter wall and terminating at the rear section of the perimeter wall; and (ii) a retaining bezel extending from the U-shaped wall over the perimeter upper edge.

Modular external frame for mobile computing devices

A mobile computing device includes: a housing with a lower wall, a keypad seat and side walls joining the lower wall to the keypad seat and extending upwards from the keypad seat to a bay opening. The walls define an access compartment between the lower wall, the side walls and the keypad seat, and a keypad bay for a keypad module between the keypad seat, the side walls and the bay opening. The device includes a latch slidably mounted to the keypad seat between locked and unlocked positions, including: a hook to engage a keypad module recess in the locked position and secure the keypad module in the bay, and to disengage from the recess in the unlocked position to enable removal of the keypad module; and an activation member in the access compartment to receive an input to transition the latch from the unlocked position to the locked position.

Keypad module locking mechanism for mobile computing devices

A mobile computing device includes: a device housing including a base, a perimeter wall extending from the base to a perimeter upper edge and having a forward section and a rear section, and a display seat within the forward section of the perimeter wall; a display module including a display assembly supported adjacent to the perimeter upper edge by the display seat, and a display module cover overlaid on the display panel; an external frame member including: (i) a U-shaped wall removably affixed to the forward section of the perimeter wall and terminating at the rear section of the perimeter wall; and (ii) a retaining bezel extending from the U-shaped wall over the perimeter upper edge.

Battery

An anti-condensation arrangement for an optical apparatus including a window mounted in a housing comprises an isolating member sealed around an end of an image collecting device of the optical apparatus and around a perimeter of the window, the isolating member substantially preventing airflow between a portion of the housing surrounding the isolating member and a space enclosed by the isolating member.

Anti-condensation optical device

A touch screen touch screen display includes a bottom conductor layer coupled to a top conductor layer. The bottom conductor layer extends beyond the top conductor layer adjacent the top conductor layer, exposing a region of the bottom conductor layer. One or more manually actuatable components (e.g., buttons) are coupled to the region of the bottom conductor layer. The bottom conductor layer may include a substrate (such as a polycarbonate layer) and a polymer layer (such as polyethylene terephthalate) formed on the substrate.
