Abstract: A portable electronic device (100) includes a housing (104), a touch-sensitive display at least partially within the housing, a sensor array (134) including a first camera module (138) having a first field of view, a second camera module (139) having a second field of view different from the first field of view, and a light source (136), and a rear cover (132) formed from a glass material and defining a raised sensor array region positioned over the sensor array (132). The raised sensor array region defines a first hole extending through the rear cover (132) and positioned proximate a first corner region of the raised sensor array region, and a second hole extending through the rear cover (132) and positioned proximate a second corner region diagonal from the first corner region. The first camera module (138) includes a first camera housing defining a recess at a corner of the first camera housing, and the second camera module (139) includes a second camera housing extending into the recess.

Abstract: A portable electronic device (900) includes a housing, a front cover defining a front side of the portable electronic device, a display stack (1102) below the front cover and comprising a plurality of display layers configured to produce a graphical output in a display region (902) of the display stack, the graphical output visible through the front cover, and a light sensor module (922) positioned at least partially within the housing and coupled to the display stack (1102) in the display region. The light sensor module (922) may be configured to receive ambient light passing through the front cover and through the plurality of display layers and, while a blanking interval (1122) is positioned over the light sensor module (922), produce an output corresponding to the received ambient light, the portable electronic device (900) configured to determine an ambient light value based at least in part on the output from the light sensor module (922).

Abstract: An electronic device (100) can include a housing and a support component (130) joined to the housing. The support component (130) can include a thermal conduction layer (135) defining a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface. The support component (130) can also include a first support layer (131) overlying the first surface and a second support layer overlying the second surface. A ratio of the thickness of the thermal conduction layer (135) to the combined thickness of the first support layer (131) and the second support layer can be at least 1.5.

Abstract: An electronic device that includes a vision system carried by a bracket assembly is disclosed. The vision system may include a first camera module that captures an image of an object, a light emitting element that emits light rays toward the object, and a second camera module that receives light rays reflected from the object. The light rays may include infrared light rays. The bracket assembly is designed not only carry the aforementioned modules, but to also maintain a predetermined and fixed separation between the modules. The bracket assembly may form a rigid, multi-piece bracket assembly to prevent bending, thereby maintaining the predetermined separation. The electronic device may include a transparent cover designed to couple with a housing. The transparent cover incudes an alignment module designed to engage a module and provide a moving force that aligns the bracket assembly and the modules to a desired location in the housing.

Abstract: Flexible battery packs for use in electronic devices are disclosed. In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the flexible battery pack may include a plurality of cells, such as galvanic or photovoltaic cells. The battery pack also may include a plurality of laminate layers coupled to the cells that include a top laminate layer and a bottom laminate layer. An adhesive may be used to couple the top and bottom laminate layers together such that each of the plurality of cells is isolated from each other. This arrangement may allow the battery to be shaped to fit a form factor of the electronic device. This arrangement also may allow one or more of the cells to be selectively removed from the plurality, which may be desirable from a manufacturing perspective.
