摘要:
Electronic devices having improved battery configurations, and more specifically configurations reducing overall space required for a battery and attendant electronics, as well as providing restraining mechanisms to prevent a battery from impacting these electronics.
摘要:
Various systems of an electronic device and methods for manufacturing the same are provided. In some embodiments, a routing assembly is provided that may not only route a cable along a circuit board, but that may also shield an electronic component or secure an electronic component to the circuit board. In some other embodiments, there is provided a mechanism for electrically coupling two components of an electronic device that may also be visually appealing in the context of other portions of the electronic device.

The present disclosure relates to the use of a solid background layer in conjunction with a transparent display panel. In one such implementation, a layer that is switchable between opaque and transparent states is provided between the solid background layer and the transparent display panel. By switching the switchable layer between opaque and transparent states, visibility of the background layer through the transparent display panel may be controlled.

A proximity sensor for use in a portable computing device is described. In particular various embodiments of a proximity sensor which fit in an extremely small portion of a cellular phone, and accurately determine the presence of a user's head in close proximity to a surface of the cellular phone.
摘要:
Each knuckle is molded in and/or around a coupling structure that is either welded to or is an integral part of the section. The coupling structure can be a bracket that is welded to an inner surface of a section, and the bracket is constructed to have a cross-section that minimizes capacitance. In one embodiment, a first bracket can be welded to a first conductive section, and a second bracket can be welded to a second conductive section. A knuckle constructed from an insulating material that is overmolded within and around the first and second brackets such that the first and second conductive sections are coupled together. The first and second conductive sections and their respective brackets are spaced a predetermined distanced apart, thereby ensuring the conductive sections are electrically isolated.

An illumination system for a portable electronic device (100) is provided. The portable electronic device comprises a first housing (102) having a user interface (202), and a second housing (104) having at least one light source. The second housing is slideably coupled to the first housing. Further, the second housing is capable of sliding linearly over the first housing between a first position and a second position. In the first position, the second housing conceals at least a portion of the user interface. In the second position, the second housing reveals at least a portion of the user interface. The at least one light source is capable of illuminating at least a portion of the user interface when the second housing is in the second position. Furthermore, the second housing is designed to conceal the at least one light source.

摘要:
Two shot knuckles include a first shot component and a second shot component. Both shot components are composed of different dielectric materials, where the first shot is composed of a relatively high strength structural material and the second is composed of a cosmetic material. The first shot component can physically couple two conductive sections together by interfacing with a coupling structure of that section. The first shot component includes second shot retaining regions and a cosmetic region. The second shot component occupies the cosmetic region and anchors itself to the first shot component using the second shot retaining regions. The second shot may be the only part of the two-shot knuckle visible to a user of an electronic device and can exhibit any desired color.
