    Abstract: A portable electronic device including an enclosure having an enclosure wall that forms an interior chamber. A speaker module is positioned within the interior chamber and includes a speaker and a module wall forming a back volume chamber of the speaker. The back volume chamber includes an acoustic vent port formed through the module wall to acoustically couple the back volume chamber to the interior chamber. The device further including an electromechanical valve for regulating the acoustic coupling of the back volume chamber to the interior chamber. The electromechanical valve is operable to transition between an open configuration in which the acoustic vent port is open to the interior chamber and a closed configuration in which the acoustic vent port is closed off from the interior chamber.

    Abstract: There is provided a mobile phone (300). The mobile phone (300) comprises a display (303), wireless communication circuitry (320), a battery (330), and an enclosure (310) enclosing the display, the wireless communication circuitry, and the battery. The enclosure (310) comprises a front cover (302) formed from a transparent material and defining a front exterior surface of the mobile phone, a rear cover (132) formed from a glass material and defining a rear exterior surface of the mobile phone, and a first housing component (314). The first housing component (314) comprises a first wall section (317) defining a first side exterior surface of the mobile phone, a second wall section (319) defining a second side exterior surface opposite to the first side exterior surface, and a mid-chassis section (323) extending between the first wall section and the second wall section. The enclosure (310) further comprises a second housing component (312) positioned at a first end of the first housing component and defining a first exterior corner surface, and a third housing component positioned at the first end of the first housing component and defining a second exterior corner surface.

    Abstract: Sensor assemblies for electronic devices are described. According to some embodiments, the sensor assemblies include solid-state sensors, such as capacitive sensors, piezoelectric sensors or piezoresistive sensors. The sensor assemblies can include a number of features that provide a compact profile, making them well suited for integration into small spaces of electronic device enclosures. The sensor assemblies can also include features that isolate movement of various parts of the sensor assemblies, allowing for accurate detection of a sensing event. According to some embodiments, the sensor assemblies are coupled to haptic actuators, speaker, or both, which mimic the feel of a mechanical button and enhance a user's experience.
