Abstract: The display screen unit of a cell phone or PDA is carried in a mounting frame (26), which is bolted into the casing. The screen unit (29) is sandwiched between cushioning layers of foam. The screen unit can move laterally, relative to the mounting frame, putting the foam in shear, in response to an edge or corner impact. Springy tabs (42) are bent up from the metal backing plate (32) of the screen unit, and these springy tabs serve to cushion the impact of the screen unit against the mounting frame, in response to the edge or corner impact, leading to a marked improvement in drop test performance. As a production-line benefit, the springy tabs (42) also permit the screen unit to rest on the lip of the mounting frame, enabling the screen unit to be accurately positioned in the mounting frame just before the screen unit is finally pressed down into contact with the securing adhesive.

Abstract: In a vehicle drive system, a pair of rear wheels (1R) is driven by first and second motors (M1,M2).
The first motor is designed to specifications suited to delivering torque at low rotational
speeds and the second motor is designed to specifications suited to delivering torque at
high rotational speeds. The motor used to drive the rear wheels is selected based on the
vehicle speed. The change in the operations of the first and second motors is synchronized
with a shifting of a transmission (3) disposed between an engine (2) and a pair of front
wheels (1F). Thus, the vehicle drive system is configured and arranged to accommodate speeds
ranging from low speeds to high speeds in a sufficient manner without requiring the drive
source to become large.

Abstract: A medical device for use on the human eye is described. The device is placed in an extrocular location in a patient and delivers an electrical current that stimulates the retina of patients who are blind or have vision disorders. It has at least one electrode that makes contact with the scleral surface of the eye, the electrode typically being activated by an electrical stimulator. The device produces electrical pulses which pass through the electrodes on the scleral surface of the eye, to activate the retina of the eye, which causes the patient to experience improved vision, visual sensations or the prevention of deterioration of vision. By this means, sight can be restored or improved where patients have disorders of their retina or other parts of their visual system.
