Abstract: Cable assemblies for providing electrical communication between hinged sections of an electronic device are described. The cable assemblies can include a cover that covers one or more cables that run through a hinge region of the electronic device. The cable and cover can be drawn over a mandrel of the hinge region. The cover and the portions of the mandrel can be visible to a user at the hinge region of the electronic device. The cover can be sufficiently rigid to guide a path of the cable and protect the cable from bending beyond a prescribed angle during rotation of the electronic device at the hinge region. The cover can also be sufficiently rigid to prevent ceasing or folding of the cover and the cable during rotation of the electronic device at the hinge region. The cable assemblies can also include a hinged cover that can be pivoted to close a gap between two hinged sections of the electronic device.

Abstract: Embodiments are directed to laser-based processes for forming features on the surface of a part. The feature may include a geometric element, a color element, and/or a surface finish element. In some cases, the laser-formed features are formed as a pattern of textured features that produce an aesthetic and/or tactile effect on the surface of the part. In some cases, the texture features may be sufficiently small that they may not be discerned by the unaided human eye. Also, in some cases, a multiple laser-based processes are combined to form a single feature or a finished part having a specific aesthetic and/or tactile effect.

Abstract translation: 实施例涉及用于在部件的表面上形成特征的基于激光的工艺。 该特征可以包括几何元素，颜色元素和/或表面光洁度元素。 在一些情况下，激光形成的特征形成为纹理特征的图案，其在部件的表面上产生美学和/或触觉效果。 在一些情况下，纹理特征可能足够小，使得它们可能不被肉眼看出。 此外，在一些情况下，多个基于激光的多个工艺被组合以形成具有特定美学和/或触觉效果的单一特征或成品部件。
