Abstract: Systems and methods for strengthening a sapphire part are described herein. One method may take the form of orienting a first surface of a sapphire member relative to an ion implantation device, selecting an ion implantation concentration and directing ions at the first surface of the sapphire member. The ions are embedded under the first surface to create compressive stress in the sapphire surface.

Abstract: An electronic device may include electrical components and other components mounted within an interior of a housing. The device may have a display on a front face of the device and may have a glass layer that forms part of the housing on a rear face of the device. The glass layer may be provided with regions having different appearances. The regions may be textured, may have coatings such as thin-film interference filter coatings formed from stacks of dielectric material having alternating indices of refraction, may have metal coating layers, and/or may have ink coating layers. Textured surfaces may be formed on thin glass layers and polymer films that are coupled to the glass layer. A glass layer may be formed from a pair of coupled glass layers. The coupled layers may have one or more recesses or other structures to visually distinguish different regions of the glass layer.

Abstract: The described embodiments relate generally to cosmetic surfaces and associated treatments to alter a color of cosmetic surfaces. According to one embodiment, cosmetic ink configured to be applied to a cosmetic surface can include a suspension matrix configured to suspend a number of small particles in the suspension matrix. Each of the small particles of the suspension matrix is within a desired overall diameter to cause a user to perceive a desired color due to plasmon resonance of the small particles.

Abstract: Disclosed is an injection molding system including a first plunger rod and a second plunger rod configured to move or transport molten material from a melt zone and into a mold. The first and second plunger rods are configured to control and contain the molten material therebetween while moving. The second plunger rod can also be positioned relative to the mold to apply pressure on one side of the mold as the first plunger rod pushes molten material into the mold on an opposite side to force the material into the mold cavity. The second plunger rod can further be used to eject a molded (bulk amorphous) object from the mold. The rods can move in a longitudinal direction (e.g., horizontally) between the melt zone and mold along a longitudinal axis.
