20080198563 | SYSTEM FOR INCREASING ISOLATION BOUNDARY WITHSTAND VOLTAGE - Insulating ribs are formed into one or more portions of a housing that encloses circuitry of an electrical device. Components mounted on a board are separated according to whether they are related to a primary side of a power transformer or a secondary side. Primary related components are typically mounted on the primary side of an isolation slot formed into a circuit board and components related to the secondary are mounted on the other side. The insulating ribs are strategically placed to protrude through the slots when circuit board is mounted to the housing portion. Thus, when the housing portion is joined to another housing portion, which also may include insulating ribs strategically placed, the ribs increase the breakdown voltage of the boundary. | 08-21-2008 |

20090279270 | DUAL-CHANNEL OPTICAL NAVIGATION DEVICE - A dual-channel optical navigation system with vertically aligned sensors. The dual-channel optical navigation system includes a circuit board, a contact navigation sensor, and a free-space navigation sensor. The circuit board mechanically supports and electrically connects multiple navigation sensors on opposing sides of the circuit board. The contact navigation sensor is coupled to a first side of the circuit board. The contact navigation sensor generates a contact navigation signal based on contact navigation images of a contact navigation surface approximately adjacent to the dual-channel optical navigation system. The free-space navigation sensor is coupled to a second side of the circuit board. The free-space navigation sensor generates a free-space navigation signal based on free-space navigation images of an operating environment of the dual-channel optical navigation system. | 11-12-2009 |
20090290315 | COMMUNICATION DEVICE AND ELECTRONIC APPARATUS USING THE SAME - In a communication device, a ground plane disposed on the upper or lower surface of a board or inside the board includes a first ground region disposed on a semiconductor circuit and connected thereto, and a second ground region disposed under an amplifier-and connected thereto. The first ground region and the second ground region do not overlap with each other. | 11-26-2009 |
20100195297 | ELECTRONIC BALLAST WITH GROUNDING SPACER AND INSULATING FILLER - An electronic ballast provides a ballast housing including a circuit board electrically and mechanically connected to the ballast housing by an electrically conductive spacer. The circuit board includes a ground electrode surrounding a clearance hole through which an electrically conductive fastener is inserted into a fastener hole located in the spacer. An insulating filler is disposed in the ballast housing between the housing interior surface and the circuit board. A lighting fixture including an electronic ballast is also provided. | 08-05-2010 |
20100246147 | Microphonics Suppression in High-Speed Communications Systems - One design aspect in electronic systems, such as communication systems, is noise suppression. More particularly, this relates to microphonics suppression in high-speed communication systems, such as microwave wireless radio systems. The present invention contemplates system design for substantially eliminating microphonic behavior created by mechanical stimulus such as vibrations and the drum effect. A preferred approach includes isolating the motherboard from its mounting harnesses (mechanical interconnection) and adding an echo damping and shock absorption pad to the underside of the enclosure cover to stiffen the enclosure cover while maintaining its light weight. Preferably also, this approach isolates the entire motherboard rather than a particular component. A design using this approach is particularly useful in an outdoor unit (ODU) of a split-mount microwave radio system. | 09-30-2010 |
