Abstract: A portable computer includes a display portion comprising a display and a base portion pivotally coupled to the display portion. The base portion may include a bottom case and a top case, formed from a dielectric material, coupled to the bottom case. The top case may include a top member defining a top surface of the base portion and a sidewall integrally formed with the top member and defining a side surface of the base portion. The portable computer may also include a sensing system including a first sensing system configured to determine a location of a touch input applied to the top surface of the base portion and a second sensing system configured to determine a force of the touch input.

Abstract: Eine elektronische Vorrichtung kann ein Vorrichtungsgehäuse mit einer Oberseite und einer Unterseite aufweisen. Die elektronische Vorrichtung kann auch einen Montagerahmen, der oberhalb der Oberseite des Vorrichtungsgehäuses bewegbar ist, und einen vom Montagerahmen getragenen biometrischen Fingersensor aufweisen. Ein Biegeelement kann mit der Unterseite des Vorrichtungsgehäuses verbunden und so gestaltet sein, dass es den Montagerahmen in Bezug auf das Vorrichtungsgehäuse nach oben vorspannt. Ein Drucktastenschalter kann wirkungsmäßig mit dem biometrischen Fingersensor und der Oberseite des Vorrichtungsgehäuses verbunden sein.

Abstract: An electronic device may have a housing with a lid (12A) that rotates relative to a base (12B). A display in the lid may have a thin-film transistor layer. Display driver circuitry may be mounted to the thin-film transistor layer. A display timing controller integrated circuit (34) may be mounted in the base. A rigid flex printed circuit may have a rigid portion in the base (90-4) to which the display timing controller integrated circuit is mounted and may have a rigid portion in the lid (90-2). A flexible printed circuit portion (90-1) of the rigid flex printed circuit may be used to couple the rigid printed circuit portion in the lid to the thin-film transistor layer. A flexible printed circuit portion (90-3) of the rigid flex printed circuit that extends between the lid and the base may be formed from a double-shield-layer single-signal-line-layer flexible printed circuit.

Abstract: Embodiments related to an electronic device having an adaptive input row. The adaptive input row may be positioned within an opening of a device and include a cover for receiving a touch and a display that is configured to present an adaptable set of indicia. The adaptive input row may also include one or more sensors for detecting the location of a touch and/or the magnitude of a force of the touch. The adaptive input row may be positioned adjacent or proximate to a keyboard of the electronic device.

Abstract: Keyboards include mechanisms that prevent and/or alleviate contaminant ingress. In some embodiments, a keyboard assembly includes a substrate, a key cap, a movement mechanism moveably coupling the key cap to the substrate, and a guard structure coupled to the key cap operable to direct contaminants away from the movement mechanism. In other embodiments, a keyboard includes a base; a web that defines apertures; keys moveably coupled to the base within the apertures; and a gasket coupled to the keys, the gasket fixed between the web and the base, operable to block passage of contaminants into the apertures.
