    Abstract: A portable computing device is disclosed. The portable computing device can take many forms such as a laptop computer, a tablet computer, and so on. The portable computing device can include at least a single piece housing. The single 5 piece housing includes a plurality of steps. The plurality of mounting steps are formed by at least removing a preselected amount of housing material at predetermined locations on the interior surface. At least some of the mounting steps are used to mount at least some of the plurality of internal operating components to the housing.

    Abstract: Eine Methodik zum Verbinden von Vorrichtungskomponenten mit Schaltungen, die auf unterschiedlichen Ebenen und Orientierungen relativ zueinander sind werden beschrieben. Eine erste Schaltung kann auf einer starren Leiterplatte, die mehrere Ebenen aufweist, angeordnet werden, wobei die Leiterplatte, die mehrere Ebenen aufweist, zumindest ein flexibles Bauteil umfasst, das sich ein gemeinsames Substrat mit der starren Leiterplatte, die mehrere Ebenen aufweist, teilt, das sich von einem Körperabschnitt der starren Leiterplatte, die mehrere Ebenen aufweist, erstreckt. Das flexible Bauteil kann Leiterbahnen aufweisen, die verwendet werden um Energie und/oder Daten an eine Schnittstelle weiterzuleiten, die mit dem Energie- und/oder Daten-Leiterbahnen gekoppelt ist. Das flexible Bauteil kann abgelenkt oder verdreht sein, um eine erste Schaltung auf dem Körperabschnitt der starren Leiterplatte, die mehrere Ebenen aufweist, mit einer zweiten Schaltung, die mit einer anderen Vorrichtungskomponente assoziiert ist, zu verbinden.

    Abstract: A methodology for connecting device components with circuitry located at different levels and orientations relative to one another is described. First circuitry can be located on a multi-plane rigid circuit board where the multi-plane rigid circuit board can include at least one flexible member sharing a common substrate with the multi-plane rigid circuit board that extends from a body portion of the multi-plane rigid circuit board. The flexible member can include traces used to convey power and/or data and an interface coupled to the power and/or data traces. The flexible member can be deflected or twisted to connect first circuitry on the body portion of the multi-plane rigid circuit board to second circuitry associated with another device component.

    Abstract: A battery assembly includes a plurality of battery cells that includes at least a first 102a and a second 102b battery cell each attached to a distributed battery management unit (dBMU) 104, the second battery cell 102b being associated with an external circuit 118, and being connected to the dBMU 104 via a pre-formed battery contact 120 shaped to accommodate the external circuit 118. The plurality of battery cells 102a, 102b are electrically connected to at least the dBMU 104 such that each of the battery cells are substantially aligned with each other (see figure 10) thereby preserving a battery profile corresponding to the battery cells when unconnected. The assembly allows the battery cells to be transported in an unconnected shipping configuration before they are connected to each other in situ within the housing of a portable device, such as a tablet computer. The battery assembly can be joined directly to the housing of the portable device, without needing to use a separate battery housing.
