Abstract: A top case assembly (100) for a portable computer (10) is disclosed. The assembly may include an integral unified (e.g., homogenous) top case formed from a single part. The integral top case provides an enclosure, frame and cosmetic exterior of the portable computer. The integral top case also serves as the primary structure of the portable computer. The assembly may include a variety of subassemblies such as keyboards, touchpads, circuit boards, and drives that are carried by the underside of the integral top case. The integral top case may be formed from aluminum slab that has been machined to form walls, openings, attachment areas and cosmetic areas of the top case.

Abstract: Various embodiments of connectors and connector assemblies provide modified structural features to meet evolving industrial design requirements while maintaining backward compatibility. In one embodiment, alignment posts on the two sides of a plug connector are substantially removed and the remaining connector shell reshaped so as to preserve alignment capability. Other pre-existing features such as alignment grooves and some or all springy raised tabs can be eliminated resulting in a more compact and monolithic structure for the connector without impacting functionality or backward compatibility. In another embodiment, a trim ring is molded to the base of the connector to form an integrated unit. The integrated unit results in a reduced size of the connector when it is incorporated into other devices such as a docking station. In yet another embodiment, a printed circuit board is integrated into the boot of a connector assembly to act as an intermediate connection mechanism between the cable wires and the connector pins. Other functionality such as identification circuitry or electrostatic discharge protection circuitry can be incorporated on to the integrated printed circuit board.
Abstract translation: 连接器和连接器组件的各种实施例提供改进的结构特征以满足不断发展的工业设计要求,同时保持向后兼容性 在一个实施例中,插头连接器两侧的对准柱基本上被移除,并且剩余的连接器壳体重新成形以便保持对准能力。 可以消除其他预先存在的特征,例如对准槽和一些或所有弹性凸起的突片,导致用于连接器的更紧凑和整体结构,而不会影响功能或向后兼容性。 在另一个实施例中,将修剪环模制到连接器的底部以形成一体的单元。 当连接器结合到诸如对接站的其它设备中时,集成单元导致连接器的尺寸减小。 在另一个实施例中,印刷电路板集成到连接器组件的引导件中,以用作电缆线和连接器引脚之间的中间连接机构。 诸如识别电路或静电放电保护电路的其它功能可以并入到集成印刷电路板上。
