    Abstract: Described herein is a feedstock comprising BMG. The feedstock has a surface with an average roughness of at least 200 microns. Also described herein is a feedstock comprising BMG. The feedstock, when supported on a support during a melting process of the feedstock, has a contact area between the feedstock and the support up to 50% of a total area of the support. These feedstocks can be made by molding ingots of BMG into a mole with surface patterns, enclosing one or more cores into a sheath with a roughened surface, chemical etching, laser ablating, machining, grinding, sandblasting, or shot peening. The feedstocks can be used as starting materials in an injection molding process.

    Abstract: An electronic device may have housing structures, electrical components, and other electronic device structures. Stress sensing structures may be formed using coatings on these electronic device structures. Stress sensing structures may have strip-shaped links that extend between pads or may be formed from blanket films. A stress sensing coating may be formed from a transparent thin film. The transparent thin film may be illuminated with monochromatic light while a video camera captures video images of resulting optical interference patterns. The video images may be captured during a test in which a device structure is exposed to stress from an impact between the device and an external object. Stress sensing coatings may also be formed from layers of material that develop cracks upon exposure to stress. Stress sensing structures may be used to evaluate stress during tests and to monitor stress during normal device use.

    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.

    Abstract: Exemplary embodiments described herein relate to methods and systems for casting metal alloys into articles such as BMG articles. In one embodiment, processes involved for storing, pre-treating, alloying, melting, injecting, molding, etc. can be combined as desired and conducted in different chambers. During these processes, each chamber can be independently, separately controlled to have desired chamber environment, e.g., under vacuum, in an inert gas environment, or open to the surrounding environment. Due to the flexible, independent control of each chamber, the casting cycle time can be reduced and the production throughput can be increased. Contaminations of the molten materials and thus the final products are reduced or eliminated.
