The invention concerns a mobile communications unit () having at least one transducer () that can broadcast audio through a direct port (), at least one leak port () for leak tolerance of the unit, in which the leak port can have a first opening () and a multi-use opening (). The multi-use opening can be coupled to the first opening of the leak port to complete a path for the leak port, and the multi-use opening can also receive a part of an accessory. As an example, the mobile unit can be a monolith mobile unit. As another example, the accessory can be a holster having a hook mechanism that fits within the multi-use opening and can secure the mobile communications unit to the holster.

Multi-use acoustic leak path system

A portable electronic device includes a portable electronic device housing () where the housing has at least one orifice () to an internal portion () of the housing. The electronic device also includes a flex circuit () projecting from the orifice, a seal () located at the orifice to prevent liquid from entering the internal portion of the housing, where the seal has a first portion () and a second portion (). The first portion and the second portion of the seal sandwich the flex circuit and the seal is snug fit in the orifice. A method () of installing a seal for a portable electronic device housing having an orifice through which a flex circuit protrudes is also provided.

Communication device

A multi-function key system for use with an electronic device can include at least one key () and an optical film () optically coupled to the key. The optical film () can include a first optical filter () corresponding to a first color of light and a second optical filter () corresponding to a second color of light. The multi-function key system further can include a first light source (), disposed below the key, that emits the first color of light and a second light source (), disposed below the key, that emits the second color of light. A controller () can selectively activate the first light source () or second light source () responsive to an event detected within the electronic device.

A retractable antenna () is provided that includes a body () having an orifice (), a whip () retractably coupled to the body (), at least one follower () disposed about the whip (), and a cam () disposed about the orifice (). The cam () is shaped such that the at least one follower () interacts with the cam () during retraction of the whip () so as to rotate the whip as necessary to align the whip in a rotational position that allows full retraction of the antenna. Also provided are an electronic communication device () that includes at least one such non-circular retractable antenna (), and an alignment system for rotationally aligning an extendable portion of a non-circular retractable antenna) during retraction.

Alignment cam for non-circular retractable antenna

An apparatus for protecting an accessory connector () on a communication device (). The communication device can include an opening () for providing access to the connector. The apparatus can be a cover () attached in a tethered relation to the communication device. A portion of the cover can be flexible so as to allow a user to selectively move the cover between a first position and a second position. In the first position, at the cover can substantially close the opening such that the connector is substantially protected from the infiltration of solid particles and the gross intrusion of liquids. In the second position, the cover can be held away from the connector such that substantially unimpeded access to the connector is permitted. The cover and communication device can have various associated features to ensure that the cover is retained in the first and second positions.

Connector cover for communication device

The present invention is a device that allows electrical stimulation to an anatomical site that is covered by a cast. The electrode is applied to achieve a desired physiological response (e.g., bone growth), treatment of pain, or the prevention of muscle atrophy.
