Abstract: A ceramic material having an electronic component embedded therein, and more particularly to a sapphire surface having an electrically energized component embedded within. In some embodiments, the sapphire surface may take the form of a portion of a housing for an electronic device. Since sapphire may be substantially transparent, it may form a cover glass for a display within or forming part of the electronic device, as one example. The cover glass may be bonded, affixed, or otherwise attached to a remainder of the housing, thereby forming an enclosure for the electronic device.

Abstract: A pixel driving circuit includes a storage capacitor, a first, a second, and a third transistor. A method for driving an organic light emitting diode (OLED) display includes controlling the second transistor by a first signal from a gate line such that the second transistor is switched "Off" for a first phase, and "On" for a second phase and a third phase, "Off" for a fourth phase. During the second phase, storing a threshold voltage of the first transistor on the storage capacitor coupled between the gate and the source of the first transistor. During the third phase, supplying a data voltage from a data line to the gate of the first transistor, and switching off the third transistor by a second signal such that the voltage at an anode of the OLED does not vary with pixel location and provides brightness uniformity for the display.

Abstract: Examples of tooling fixtures and methods for manufacturing computing devices are described. According to some examples, a computer component may be shaped using successive steps of forging after deep drawing. In some examples, certain components may be assembled to form sub-assemblies of computer components and the sub-assembly may then be machined to drive closer tolerances. According to other examples, a work holding tool is described which may include a first plurality of individually movable pins for supporting a first surface of a work piece, the tool also having a second plurality of individually movable pins for applying a restraining force over a second opposite surface of the work piece to retain the work piece in position while maintaining it in its natural state.
