Abstract: An electronic device that includes a deformable feature designed to seal two or more parts of the electronic device is disclosed. The deformable feature may be designed to deform, in response to a force applied to the deformable feature, with little or no compression. The deformable feature may include a cavity or relief volume extending along the deformable feature to define a space or void in the deformable feature. In response to a force, the deformable feature may deform such that a material (or materials) defining the deformable feature occupies or extends into the space or void, or in a location previously occupied by the space or void. The deformable feature may provide a protective seal between two or more parts that prevents ingress of contaminants, such as a liquid.

Abstract: Antenna related features of a mobile phone or computing device are disclosed. In one embodiment, wireless control and signal are fed separately through difference types of flexes to optimize performance and cost. In one embodiment, active switching and processing of differing conductive trace lengths are performed on an antenna flex so that antenna performance can be optimized for multiple wireless technologies covering a wide range of wavelengths. In one embodiment, a cantilever arm affixed to a ground screw can provide double grounding in a region with no available screw points due to high z constraint. In one embodiment, a device can provide double feed for antenna through a single screw. In one embodiment, a short pin can be configured to support thinner metal. In one embodiment, a “vibrator bracket/LDS short pin” structure can be used to share a common screw point.

Abstract: Methods for applying a hydrophobic coating to various components within a computing device are disclosed. More specifically, a hydrophobic coating can be applied by a plasma assisted chemical vapor deposition (PACVD) process to a fully assembled circuit board. Frequently, a fully assembled circuit board can have various components such as electromagnetic interference (EMI) shields which cover water sensitive electronics. A method is disclosed for perforating portions of the EMI shields that overlay the water sensitive electronics. Methods of sealing board to board connectors are also disclosed. In one embodiment solder leads of the board to board connectors can be covered by a silicone seal.
