Abstract: Sensor assemblies for electronic devices are described. According to some embodiments, the sensor assemblies include solid-state sensors, such as capacitive sensors, piezoelectric sensors or piezoresistive sensors. The sensor assemblies can include a number of features that provide a compact profile, making them well suited for integration into small spaces of electronic device enclosures. The sensor assemblies can also include features that isolate movement of various parts of the sensor assemblies, allowing for accurate detection of a sensing event. According to some embodiments, the sensor assemblies are coupled to haptic actuators, speaker, or both, which mimic the feel of a mechanical button and enhance a user's experience.

Abstract: A handheld electronic device may be provided that contains a conductive housing and other conductive elements. The conductive elements may form an antenna ground plane. One or more antennas for the handheld electronic device may be formed from the ground plane and one or more associated antenna resonating elements. Transceiver circuitry may be connected to the resonating elements by transmission lines such as coaxial cables. Ferrules may be crimped to the coaxial cables. A bracket with extending members may be crimped over the ferrules to ground the coaxial cables to the housing and other conductive elements in the ground plane. The ground plane may contain an antenna slot. A dock connector and flex circuit may overlap the slot in a way that does not affect the resonant frequency of the slot. Electrical components may be isolated from the antenna using isolation elements such as inductors and resistors.

Abstract: Improved housings for electronic devices are disclosed. In one embodiment, an electronic device housing can have one or more outer members (e.g., exposed major surfaces), such as front or back surfaces, that are formed of glass. The one or more glass surfaces can be part of outer member assemblies that can be secured to other portions of the electronic device housing. In other embodiments, apparatus, systems and methods for robustly attaching a cover portion of an electronic device to a bottom portion, e.g., a housing portion, of the electronic device are described. The electronic device can be portable and in some cases handheld.

Abstract: Electronic devices are provided with a protective housing having one or more housing components. A housing component can be formed from a single sheet of material to appear as if the housing component had been formed from a hollowed out solid block of material. The sheet of material may be deep drawn, forged, and machined to form the housing component. One or more holes may be formed through a portion of the housing component to provide an I/O interface.

Abstract: An electronic device having a semi-rigid battery pack is disclosed. The semi-rigid battery pack offers an internal power supply with relatively high energy density (energy per volume) with a stiff cover covering the battery pack to shield other internal components from the battery pack. The cover may also be formed with a larger dimension than that of the battery pack such that when the battery pack undergoes a swelling event, the battery pack increases its volume while still be contained by the cover. In this manner, other internal components may be positioned proximate to the cover without being affected by the battery pack. In another embodiment, a mold member covers an outer peripheral portion and supports the battery pack while allowing the battery pack to undergo a swelling event.
Abstract translation: 公开了一种具有半刚性电池组件的电子设备。 半刚性电池组提供具有相对较高的能量密度（每体积能量）的内部电源，并且具有覆盖电池组的刚性盖以屏蔽来自电池组的其它内部部件。 盖子也可以形成为比电池组的尺寸更大的尺寸，使得当电池组经历膨胀事件时，电池组增加其体积，而仍然被盖子包含。 以这种方式，其他内部部件可以被定位成靠近盖而不受电池组的影响。 在另一个实施例中，模具构件覆盖外周部分并且在允许电池组经受膨胀事件的同时支撑电池组。
