    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: Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to a shimless button assembly. According to such embodiments, a shimless button assembly includes a button component and a switch mechanism. The button component includes a compressible member that is configured to expand and contract in order to occupy a volume of space between the button component and the switch mechanism. The volume of space between the button component and the switch mechanism may be caused by differing tolerances between the various components of the button assembly, such as, for example, the button component and the switch mechanism.

    Abstract: A support surface includes a table top, moving portions, base portions, and sensors. The moving portions are configured to move the table top in multiple degrees of freedom. Each moving portion is configured to move the table top in a degree of freedom and prevent movement of the table top in other degrees of freedom. The base portions are coupled to the moving portions and are configured to support the moving portions. The sensors are configured to receive a user input and communicate the user input to the moving portions so that the moving portions move the table top based upon the user input.

    Abstract: The disclosed technology relates to a cable configured for high current applications. The cable includes a conducting member having a conductor surrounded by an insulating layer, and a cooling conduit having a tubular portion and a coolant. The coolant is configured to flow within the tubular portion to cool the conductor. The conducting member is spiral wound around the cooling conduit along a length of the cooling conduit to increase a contact area between the conducting member and the cooling conduit to thereby improve a transfer of heat from the conducting member to the cooling conduit.

    Abstract: Power management systems for an electronic product demonstration fixture for demonstrating portable electronic devices. The product demonstration fixture may include an exhibition portion and a base portion. A portable electronic device offered for sale may be affixed to the exhibition portion. The base portion may include an electronic display, an auxiliary battery, and an auxiliary controller. The auxiliary controller may direct power from the auxiliary battery to the electronic display upon determining that a battery within the electronic display has fallen below a particular selected level. Similarly the auxiliary controller may direct power from the auxiliary battery to the portable electronic device offered for sale upon determining that a battery within the portable electronic device has fallen below a selected level.
