A signaling device is disclosed that transmits a signal to a personal monitoring system. The signaling device may include an array of RLC components that determine the frequency of the signaling device. The frequency may be tuned by adding or removing RLC components from impacting the frequency. The signaling device may also include a wake-up mechanism for activating the signaling device for normal use and a signal indicating that a predetermined useful life is about to end.

Signaling device

A radio () provides multiple audio modes of operation, such as a cellular and dispatch modes. Illumination devices () are located near the radio's audio sources () and become activated to indicate to the user which mode of operation is present.

Communication device having illuminated audio indicator

An integrated antenna and input device is provided that includes an antenna for transmitting and/or receiving electronic signals, and strain sensing elements coupled to the antenna. The strain sensing elements detect directional movement of the antenna. Additionally, an electronic communication device is provided. The device includes a graphical display, a control circuit, an antenna, and at least one sensor. The control circuit displays information on the graphical display, and the antenna transmits and/or receives electronic signals. The sensor is coupled to the antenna and the control circuit, and relays directional movement of the antenna to the control circuit to navigate the displayed information or select specific functions of the communication device.

Integrated antenna and input device

A radio ( ) provides multiple audio modes of operation, such as a cellular and dispatch modes. Illumination devices ( ) are located near the radio's audio sources ( ) and become activated to indicate to the user which mode of operation is present.

An antenna assembly (,) includes an antenna (,), antenna mounting base (,), and a radio housing (,). The antenna mounting base (,) includes a through-hole (,) and a snap beam (,). The antenna (,) is inserted into the mounting base (,) via the through-hole (,), and the mounting base snap fits into the radio housing (,) via the snap beam (,). The snap beam (,) operates as both a snap-fit feature for retaining the antenna mounting base within the housing ((,) and as a release mechanism for removing the antenna mounting base from the housing.

Antenna assembly

This invention provides a support stand for portable electronic devices that is incorporated into a battery. The support stand is optionally detachable. When the support stand is closed, the electronic device fits into the hand or a belt holster in its normal fashion. When the support stand is open, the support stand allows the portable electronic device to rest at an angle relative to a horizontal surface. When applied to a cellular phone or two-way radio, the invention offers improved access to the display screen and microphone/speaker assembly, as well as offering improved antenna performance.

Retractable integrated radio support stand and battery including a support member

In one embodiment of the invention, an antenna (,) includes an antenna cavity used for receiving a removable stylus (,). A retention feature such as a snap (,) helps retain the stylus (,) to the antenna (,) when not in use. In an alternate embodiment, the stylus (,) is an inlay to the outer wall of antenna (,). In still another embodiment of the invention, a removable antenna stylus (,) serves as an antenna when attached to radio (,) and as a stylus when removed from the radio (,).
