Abstract:
Systems (100) and methods (1400) for detecting removal and attempted removals of an electronic component from an electronic device. The methods comprising: disposing the electronic component (112) on the electronic device such that a conductive surface of the electronic component contacts a ground conductor (802) disposed on a first surface (812) of an internal circuit board (500); using an electro-mechanical member (700) to mechanically couple the electronic component to the internal circuit board and to create an electrical path from the ground conductor to a sensing conductor (800) disposed on a second surface (814) opposed from the first surface of the internal circuit board; and sensing a break in the electrical path.
Abstract:
A communication device (100) comprising: a housing (106) having a front panel (132) and a plurality of sidewalls (134); a plurality of electronic connectors (108-112, 124-128) disposed on said front panel; at least one handle (102, 104) pivotally coupled to a first sidewall such that the handle is transitionable between a locked closed position and an unlocked open position; and at least a first lock mechanism (140, 142) coupled to the housing and the handle so as to facilitate a selective transition of the handle from its locked closed position to its unlocked open position. The handle is angled N0 degrees relative to the first sidewall and resides adjacent to the electronic connectors when in its locked closed position. The handle is angled N degrees in a direction away from the first sidewall when in its unlocked open position, where N has a value greater than zero.

Abstract:
A mount system (10) for a portable radio. The mount system (10) includes a base member (20) which defines a support surface (22) with a given perimeter and a skirt depending from the support surface (22) over at least a portion of the given perimeter. At least one connecting mechanism is defined by the base member. A cover member (50) including a plate member (52) is interconnected to the base member such that a radio receiving space is defined between the plate member (52) and the support surface (22).
