FWIW, here's 2 Robert Leon patents when he was at Mototrola..there's more on the USPTO website, probably 8-9 more.
Method and apparatus for making internal connections within a battery pack
Abstract
A battery pack which provides for the making of internal connections within the battery pack includes a plurality of apertures (206) having battery pack contacts (204) in register with the apertures (206) and are located on top of corresponding metal tabs (104). The invention allows for a welding tip to be passed through the aperture (206) in order to weld the battery pack contacts (204) to their corresponding metal tabs (104). Once welded the apertures (206) can be sealed by preferably placing a battery label over the apertures (206).

Antenna assembly for use with a portable two-way communications device and method of using same
Abstract
An antenna assembly (100) for use in a portable two-way radio communications device includes a radio housing (101) including one or more boss (103) used for securing portions of a substrate (105) to the radio housing. An aperture (115) located within an antenna housing (111) is positioned over an antenna boss (107) where a metal trace located on the substrate (105) can be electrically connected to the antenna housing (111) using a fastener (109). The antenna assembly (100) permits an antenna element (113) located in the antenna housing (111) to be easily connected to the substrate (105) using minimal component parts while fastening both the antenna housing (111) and substrate (105) into a fixed position.
