Abstract: An input mechanism for a portable electronic device includes a rotational manipulation mechanism, such as a cap or shaft. The input mechanism also includes a sensor having first capacitive elements coupled to the manipulation mechanism, second capacitive elements, and a dielectric positioned between the first and second capacitive elements. Movement of the manipulation mechanism alters the positions of the first and second capacitive elements with respect to each other and is determinable based on capacitance changes resulting therefrom. In some implementations, the second capacitive elements may be part of an inner ring or partial ring nested at least partially within an outer ring or partial ring.

Abstract: A ceramic part and methods for making the ceramic part are disclosed. A green body or non-sintered part may be formed using a casting or molding process. The green body may not be sintered or may be partially sintered before machining one or more features into a surface of the green body. After machining, the component may be fully sintered to create a hardened ceramic component.

Abstract translation: 公开了一种陶瓷部件和陶瓷部件的制造方法。 可以使用铸造或模制工艺形成生坯或非烧结部件。 在将一个或多个特征加工到生坯体的表面之前，生坯体可能不被烧结或可以部分烧结。 在加工之后，组分可以被完全烧结以产生硬化的陶瓷组分。
