13. A Universal-Serial-Bus (USB) device comprising:
-
a substantially cylindrical cap having a closed end and an open end, said open end opposing the closed end, and the closed end having a first diameter; and
a main body comprising a substantially cylindrical casing having a first end and a second end, and a printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) having a USB connector, wherein the casing partially houses the PCBA such that the USB connector protrudes out of the first end of the casing, wherein the second end of the casing defines a cylindrical depression having a second diameter substantially the same as the first diameter to allow the second end of the casing to mate with the closed end of the cap. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15)
