Abstract: An adhesive stack comprises a shear layer positioned between two adhesive layers. The shear layer, comprised of a weak adhesive sub-layer positioned between substrate sublayers, is designed to fail upon application of a deliberate and appropriate shear force and before the failure of the adhesive layers. The adhesive sub-layer defines a width and/or length less than a width and/or length of another layer or sub-layer of the adhesive stack. The adhesive stack aids in securing components within an electronic device to prevent movement of the component when the device is dropped, hit, or bumped. The adhesive stack may occupy minimal space within the device, and reduce the cost of securing the component within the device's interior. The adhesive stack may allow for replacement of the component by an authorized person applying an appropriate and deliberate force. The adhesive stack may aid in identifying components replaced by an unauthorized person.

Abstract translation: 粘合剂堆叠包括位于两个粘合剂层之间的剪切层。 设置在位于衬底子层之间的弱粘合剂子层的剪切层被设计为在施加有意和适当的剪切力并且在粘合剂层失效之前失效。 粘合剂子层限定了小于粘合剂叠层的另一层或子层的宽度和/或长度的宽度和/或长度。 粘合剂叠层有助于将元件固定在电子设备内，以防止在设备掉落，撞击或碰撞时组件的移动。 粘合剂堆叠可能占用设备内的最小空间，并降低将部件固定在设备内部的成本。 粘合剂堆可以允许授权的人员使用适当的和故意的力来更换部件。 粘合剂层可以帮助识别由未经授权的人更换的部件。

Abstract: An input device is disclosed. The input device includes a movable touch-sensitive track pad capable of detecting an object in close proximity thereto so as to generate a tracking control signal. The input device also includes a movement indicator capable of detecting the movements of the movable track pad so as to generate one or more other control signals (e.g., button signals). The control signals can be used to perform actions in an electronic device operatively coupled to the input device.
