Abstract: A flexible housing for a flexible electronic device is coupled to a cover lens for enclosing components disposed between the flexible housing and the cover lens. The flexible housing includes a flexible polymer substrate. A first metal layer covering at least a portion of the flexible polymer substrate. A second metal layer is disposed on the first metal layer. A protective coating covers the second metal layer.

Abstract: Described are techniques for controlling the transfer of heat on various portions of a device or other structure. A structure may include a substrate having a first thermal conductivity. A material having a different thermal conductivity is distributed on the substrate. The position, quantity, and thickness of the material affects the manner in which heat is transferred away from at least one hot spot on the substrate.

Abstract: Techniques are described to determine a thickness of individual layers of a plurality of metal layers that include a first metal layer disposed on a polymer material and a second metal layer disposed on the first layer, such that the first layer is between the polymer material and the second layer. A measurement device may determine a resistance of the plurality of metal layers and calculate (e.g., estimate) a thickness of the individual layers based on the resistance of the individual layers and based on a resistivity of individual metals used in the plurality of metal layers. The measurement device may determine whether the individual thicknesses are within predetermined thickness ranges to determine whether to pass a quality control test.

Abstract: The disclosure describes methods of fabricating a single-piece housing for an electronic device using an injection molding process. Illustrative fabrication processes describe variations of positioning internal components of an electronic device into a mold enclosure and injecting a foam material to produce a single-piece housing that surrounds the internal components. The single-piece housing may be fabricated to provide the electronic device with at least some buoyancy, as well a means to expel thermal radiation emanating from internal components. Further, the fabricated single-piece housing provides enough structural rigidity to protect internal components of the electronic device from damage, while retaining some malleability to flex without damage when an external pressure is applied.

Abstract: A housing of a computing device, such as a computer, laptop computer, cellular phone, personal digital assistant (PDA), tablet computer, electronic reader or e-reader, or other mobile device constructed using a combination of a metal material and a lightweight core material. The housing includes a front housing component including a display and a rear housing coupled to the front housing component with an internal side of the rear housing facing the front housing. The rear housing component includes a core material and a structural material coupled to the core material at strategic locations. For example, the structural material may be located around a periphery of the rear housing, around connection ports of the electronic device, and diagonally across the external side to provide strength and stiffness to the rear housing.

Abstract: Solid structures for thermal management are provided. In one aspect, the solid structures can comprise a metal-ceramic composite member assembled to be in thermal contact with a heat source. The metal-ceramic composite member can be mechanically coupled to an assembly (e.g., an electronic assembly) containing the heat source, and can provide mechanical stability to such assembly. In another aspect, the solid structures can comprise an oxide member that covers a surface of the metal-ceramic composite member, forming a metal-ceramic-oxide interface at the surface. The thickness of the oxide member combined with the magnitude of its thermal conductivity relative to the thermal conductivity of the metal-ceramic composite member can permit heat transport substantially along a direction substantially parallel to the metal-ceramic-oxide interface, and can reduce heat transfer through such interface.
