Patent ID: 8050039

Claim:
An enclosed electronic apparatus comprising: an enclosure having an exterior surface; a first continuous heat-transfer band forming at least a portion of the exterior surface of the enclosure, the first continuous heat-transfer band having first and second substantially continuous lateral edges on either side thereof, and one or more mounting points on an internal side of the continuous heat transfer band to which a printed circuit board assembly is mountable; at least one printed circuit board assembly mounted to the heat transfer band at the one or more mounting points, the printed circuit board assembly including at least one thermally conductive portion forming a thermal path between a heat-producing electronic component of the printed circuit board assembly and the heat transfer band; a first enclosure portion sealing a first continuous lateral edge of the heat transfer band against penetration of fluid or debris; and a second enclosure portion sealing a second continuous lateral edge of the heat transfer band against penetration of fluid or debris, further comprising an encoder shaft opening in one of the first enclosure portion and a second enclosure portion; an encoder mounted with the electronic apparatus, and encoder shaft thereof extending through the encoder shaft opening; a continuous shaft gasket in compression between the encoder shaft and the encoder shaft opening; and an encoder knob mounted to the encoder shaft, the encoder knob covering the area of encoder shaft opening.
