ELECTRONIC APPARATUS IMPROVED IN DURABILITY OF SOLDER JOINT - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18626429 titled 'ELECTRONIC APPARATUS IMPROVED IN DURABILITY OF SOLDER JOINT
The patent application describes an image capturing apparatus with a unique design for securing an HDMI connector.
- HDMI flexible circuit with mounting surface
- HDMI connector mounted on the mounting surface
- Plug for inserting and removing from the connector
- Main base with mounting portion parallel to the mounting surface
- Reinforcing member covering the HDMI connector from the opposite side
- Movement of HDMI connector and flexible circuit between main base and reinforcing member
- Minimum clearance between reinforcing member and HDMI connector smaller than with flexible circuit
Potential Applications: - Camera systems - Video recording devices - Surveillance equipment
Problems Solved: - Secure mounting of HDMI connector - Protection of connector during movement
Benefits: - Enhanced durability - Improved connectivity - Easy maintenance
Commercial Applications: Title: "Enhanced Image Capturing Apparatus for Professional Photography" This technology can be used in professional cameras, video recording equipment, and surveillance systems, enhancing their performance and longevity in demanding environments.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the design of the apparatus improve the durability of the HDMI connector? 2. What are the potential cost implications of implementing this technology in camera systems?
Original Abstract Submitted
An image capturing apparatus includes an HDMI flexible circuit having a mounting surface, an HDMI connector mounted on the mounting surface of the HDMI flexible circuit, a plug being capable of being inserted therein and removed therefrom, a main base having a mounting portion substantially parallel to the mounting surface, and a reinforcing member that includes part covering the HDMI connector from an opposite side to the mounting portion in a direction orthogonal to the mounting surface and is fixed to the main base. The HDMI connector and the HDMI flexible circuit can move in the direction orthogonal to the mounting surface between the main base and the reinforcing member. In the direction orthogonal to the mounting surface, a minimum clearance between the reinforcing member and the HDMI connector is smaller than a minimum clearance between the reinforcing member and the HDMI flexible circuit.
