A housing assembly (,) includes a housing (,) having a first opening (,), a door (,) coupled to the housing at the first opening, wherein the door is slidable between opened and closed positions with the housing, a first latch (,) coupled to the door, the first latch having a first detent (,), a second latch (,) coupled to the housing, the second latch having an aperture (,) for engaging with the first detent of the first latch in the closed position, and a button (,) coupled to the housing and coupled to the second latch, wherein depression of the button disengages the first and second latches from each other, thereby permitting the door to slide to the opened position. The housing assembly further includes a selective call receiver (,) for receiving messages from a radio communication system.

A portable device having a multi-function belt clip assembly includes a leaf spring 16 having a first end 18 and a second end 20; a housing 14 which has a recess 22 to engage the first end 18 of the leaf spring 16; and a belt clip 12 which has a recess 24 which is used to engage the second end 20 of the leaf spring 16, wherein the leaf spring 16 is adapted to hold the belt clip 12 in a closed position. The leaf spring 16 further allows opening the belt clip 12 from the closed position to engage a belt, and to spring closed when the opening of the belt clip 12 is constrained below a predetermined angular displacement 34. The leaf spring 16 enables the belt clip 12 to remain latched in an open position when the opening of the belt clip 12 exceeds the predetermined angular displacement 34.

A heat seal connector (100) includes a flexible substrate (105), interconnects (110) disposed thereon, and a parting agent (115) contiguous with the flexible substrate (105) for preventing the heat seal connector (100) from adhering to a heating platen (505) applied thereto, wherein the heating platen (505) does not include a parting agent for preventing the heat seal connector (100) from adhering to the healing platen (505). The heat seal connector (100) is bonded to first and second electronic circuits (415, 420) during application of the heating platen (505) such that the interconnects (110) electrically couple conductive pads (417) formed on the first electronic circuit (415) to corresponding conductive pads (425) formed on the second electronic circuit (420).

An integrated circuit (70) is soldered to a printed circuit board (200) by first depositing flux (116) on bumps (75) of the integrated circuit. Solder (214) is deposited upon the bumps (75), and the integrated circuits is (70) placed in contact with pads (210) on the printed circuit board (200). After reflow, a solder joint (230) electrically and mechanically attaches the integrated circuit (70) to the printed circuit board (200). Alternatively, the solder tipped (214) bumps (75) may be placed in contact with a non-adhering flat plane (300) such as glass during the heating process. After reflow, each bump has a flat portion (350), and the flat portions of all the bumps form a plane (400) which further facilitates attaching the integrated circuit (70) to the printed circuit board (200).

A substantially transparent housing (202) for an electronic device (100) is capable of enclosing at least one component (502, 504). The enclosed at least one component (502, 504) can be visible from the outside of the housing (202). The housing (202) includes an outer surface (701) and an inner surface (702). A portion of the inner surface (703) is textured to provide a translucent surface. A portion of the outer surface (704) overlaps the textured portion of the inner surface (703). The overlapping portion of the outer surface (704) has opaque marks (602). The opaque marks (602) provide information visible from the outside of the housing (202). A method is also provided for applying the opaque marks (602) to the housing (202).

A method for solder deposition by the use of a laser (24), comprises the steps of applying a predetermined thickness of solder (6) to a substrate (2) including over a printed circuitry pattern (4) on the substrate, laser printing (24) to a reflow temperature the solder on the printed circuitry pattern, leaving an un-reflowed portion (9) and then removing (26) the un-reflowed portion of the substrate, leaving solidified solder (7) on the printed circuitry pattern of the substrate. Additionally, if desired, a part (12) having solder pads (14) can be placed on the solder (7) after tack media (13) is placed on the solder. Then the part (12) and substrate can be reflowed in an oven (34).

A housing (18) for an electronic device comprises a chamber (16) having an interior (14) for receiving electronic circuitry and a detachable contaminant barrier (12) generally contouring the interior (14) of the chamber (16) for preventing foreign particles from entering the chamber (16), for removing existing foreign particles in the chamber (16), and for aiding in the handling of the housing (18) during assembly. The detachable contaminant barrier (12) includes a first protrusion (22) for manipulating said contaminant barrier (12) and said housing (18) and a second protrusion (24) for removing said contaminant barrier (12) from said housing (18).

Method for manufacturing a selective call receiver

A vented blood gas syringe is capable of allowing arterial blood to enter into a specimen chamber due to blood pressure or due to the aspirating the blood into the chamber where insufficient blood pressure of the patient exists. The blood gas syringe is fabricated of conventional parts modified for venting. The plunger of a conventional syringe has air passages through the lower rib thereof to allow air to pass into the air space formed by the body of the plunger. The passages are further sized to restrict the flow of blood therethrough. A slice is made in the upper rib and at least one air passage is provided from the air space between the ribs to the slice. The upper portion of the upper rib above the slice becomes a flap which can act as a valve resting on a seat formed by the slice to allow air to pass upward but not downward.
