    Abstract: An optical component such as a camera, an acoustic component such as a speaker, or other electrical component may be mounted on the surface of an electronic device housing. A window structure may overlap the component. The window structure may be formed form an optically transparent material to allow light to pass or may be formed from an acoustically transparent material to allow acoustic signals to pass. A conductive structure such as a metal member may surround at least part of the periphery of the window structure. The conductive structure may serve as an antenna structure for an antenna. Radio-frequency transceiver circuitry may be coupled to an antenna feed for the antenna using a radio-frequency transmission line. The conductive structure may serve as a cosmetic trim for the electrical component.

    Abstract: An electronic device may have a housing such as a metal housing. Openings may be formed in the housing to accommodate a button, to form a camera window, to form a microphone port, and to form a camera flash window. An input-output component mounting member may be used to mount input-output components to the housing of the electronic device. The input-output component mounting member may have a recess that mates with a corresponding protrusion on the housing. Screws may attach the input-output component mounting member to the housing. The protrusion and recess in the input-output component mounting member may ensure that the input-output component mounting member is accurately aligned with respect to the housing. Input-output components such as a microphone, button switch, camera, and camera flash may be mounted to the electronic device with the input-output component mounting member.

    Abstract: An electronic device may have an electrical component with a moving portion. The moving portion of the electrical component may include a moving mass and may include coils or other circuitry coupled to the moving mass. The moving mass may be supported within a support structure such as a housing structure. Springs may be coupled between walls in the housing structure and end portions of the moving mass. The coils or other circuitry on the moving mass may be coupled to flexible printed circuit cables. The flexible printed circuit cables may be coupled to the coils at the ends of the moving mass adjacent to the springs. The flexible printed circuit cables may have localized stiffeners that help prevent damage to metal traces in the cables during cable bending. The cables may have U-shapes or other suitable shapes.

    Abstract: Electronic devices may be provided that contain multiple housing portions. The housing portions may be coupled together using hinges. The hinges may include hinges based on a three-bar linkage, hinges based on a four-bar linkage, hinges with slotted members, hinges formed from flexible support structures, and hinges based on flexible housing structures. Flexible displays may be mounted to the housing portions overlapping the hinges. When the housing portions in a device are rotated relative to each other, the flexible display may bend. The hinge may be configured to allow the flexible display to be placed in a front-to-front configuration in which an active side of the display faces itself or a back-to-back configuration. Engagement structures may be used to help the housing grip external objects and to hold the housing portions together. The hinges may be provided with rotational detents to help hold the flexible display in desired positions.

    Abstract translation: 可以提供包含多个壳体部分的电子设备。 壳体部分可以使用铰链联接在一起。 铰链可以包括基于三杆连杆的铰链,基于四杆连接件的铰链,带有开槽构件的铰链,由柔性支撑结构形成的铰链以及基于柔性壳体结构的铰链。 柔性显示器可以安装到与铰链重叠的壳体部分。 当装置中的壳体部分相对于彼此旋转时,柔性显示器可以弯曲。 铰链可以被配置为允许柔性显示器被放置在前置配置中,其中显示器的活动侧面向自身或背对背配置。 可以使用接合结构来帮助外壳夹住外部物体并将壳体部分保持在一起。 铰链可以设置有旋转棘爪以帮助将柔性显示器保持在期望的位置。

    Abstract: A woven fabric includes light transmissive fibers woven into the fabric to provide a visual display. The fabric may be used as a tether to releasably connect a portable electronic device to a user. The light transmissive fibers may transmit light to convey information to the user. The fabric may also be used as part of the housing of an electronic device.

    Abstract: An article is disclosed. The article is an open connector that includes a base and first and second sides. The base and the first and second sides together define a receptacle channel. The receptacle channel is sized and shaped to receive a connector insert. The open connector includes one or several electrical contacts that can be located proximate to the base of the open connector. The electrical contact electrically connects with the connector insert. The open connector includes a retainer that can interact with a portion of the connector insert to retain the connector insert within the receptacle channel.
