A device, system and method for transmitting a response command to a radio using a visualization of locations of radios and communication links therebetween is provided. A device generates a visualization of respective locations of radios and communication links therebetween, the visualization distinguishing between the radios that are inside a coverage area of a communication network and a first radio that is outside of the coverage area, the visualization indicating a second radio in communication with the first radio via a local communication link. The device detects an input indicating a response command associated with the first radio. The device determines a routing path from the computing device to a given radio of the radios that are inside the coverage area. The device transmits, to the given radio, via the routing path, the response command.

A breather valve and a portable communication device including a breather valve are provided. The breather valve includes a housing having a bottom portion having an opening and side portions, a rigid substrate located within the housing and a breathable membrane mounted to the rigid substrate. The breather valve further includes a gasket having a top surface and a bottom surface, and a preloaded compression element across the gasket and the rigid substrate. The gasket has an upper energy director located at the top surface and a lower energy director located at the bottom surface. The preloaded compression element provides at least a first compressive position providing a contact between the lower energy director and the bottom portion of the housing and a second compressive position in which air passes around the lower energy director and the upper energy director.

Automatic testable breather valve

A device for clearing liquid from an audio transducer is provided. The device comprises an audio transducer and a port from an external surface of the device to the audio transducer. The device further comprises a liquid clearing mechanism for pushing liquid, trapped in the port, out of the port to clear a path for sound between the audio transducer and the external surface, and an actuator for operating the liquid clearing mechanism.

An apparatus, method and communication system are provided for acoustically detecting the deployment of equipment. The equipment may comprise portable objects (), such as a gun, taser or baton, used by law enforcement. The apparatus comprises plurality of acoustical ridges () integrated within a body worn accessory (). A predetermined sound pattern () is generated from the acoustical ridges in response to sliding the portable object across the plurality of acoustical ridges integrated within a body worn accessory. Information pertaining to the portable object, such as dynamic information pertaining to the removal and insertion of the portable object to and from the body worn accessory () is determined. A communication system () including a portable communication device () can store the information and/or transmit alert signals to a base station () for tracking deployment of the portable object.

Apparatus, method and system for acoustically detecting deployment of portable equipment

An electrical connector and an electronic device including the electrical connector. The electrical connector comprises a housing and an electrical contact. The housing includes a first wall oriented in a first direction, a second wall oriented in a second direction that is transverse to the first direction, and an aperture defined by the first wall and the second wall. The electrical contact is disposed within the aperture and has a singular structure with a first end and a second end opposite from the first end. A first portion of the electrical contact extends from the aperture in the second direction and is configured to deflect toward the first wall along the second direction. A second portion of the electrical contact extends from the aperture in the first direction and is configured to deflect toward the second wall along the first direction.

Dual direction, electrical battery connector and electronic device with a dual direction electrical battery connector

An improved venting and sealing assembly for a portable communication device is provided. The venting and sealing assembly is formed of a housing enclosure having a walled aperture with a bottom surface and an offset through-hole passing therethrough. A flexible substrate having a vent hole is coupled to the housing enclosure across the walled aperture such that the vent hole is offset from the offset through-hole. A breathable membrane is coupled across the vent hole of the flexible substrate. A rigid plate having an opening is coupled to the breathable membrane, the opening of the rigid plate being aligned with the vent hole of the flexible substrate. A closed-loop sealing rib is formed around the vent hole of the flexible substrate and/or upon the bottom surface of the walled aperture of the housing enclosure. The assembly provides a vent path and a self-sealing enclosure.

A rotary control () provides improved running-torque through a running-torque stack up assembly (). The running-torque stack up assembly () may be implemented in a modular approach () independent of a shaft () and switch housing, or may be implemented to incorporate the shaft () and switch housing. The running-torque stack up assembly () is formed of a spring (), a stationary disk (), and a rotating disk () having sliding top and bottom surfaces provided through either pads () or an overmolded coating ().

Rotary control

A rotary on/off control switch () provides improved torque with single click operation. Rotary on/off control switch () is formed of a casing (), a drive member (), and a carrier member () having frictional elements () coupled thereto. A lever () and drive member () provide rotation of the carrier within the casing. In response to rotation of the drive member (), carrier member () and lever (), each frictional element () travels against the casing generating torque for single click ON operation. Rotation past a predetermined angle causes the carrier member () to remain stationary for variable function control of the rotary on/off control switch (). Reverse rotation of the drive member (), carrier member () and lever (), generates torque for single click OFF operation.
