    Abstract: Fibers may be intertwined to form structures for electronic devices and other parts. Fibers may be intertwined using computer-controlled braiding, weaving, and knitting equipment. Binder materials may be selectively incorporated into the intertwined fibers. By controlling the properties of the intertwined fibers and the patterns of incorporated binder, structures can be formed that include antenna windows, sound-transparent and sound-blocking structures, structures that have integral rigid and flexible portions, and tubes with seamless forked portions. Fiber-based structures such as these may be used to form cables and other parts of headphones or other electronic device accessories, housings for electronic devices such as housings for portable computers, and other structures.

    Abstract translation: 纤维可以相互缠绕以形成用于电子设备和其它部件的结构。 纤维可以使用计算机控制的编织,编织和针织设备缠结在一起。 粘合剂材料可以选择性地结合到缠结的纤维中。 通过控制相互缠绕的纤维的性质和结合的粘合剂的图案,可以形成包括天线窗口,声音透明和隔音结构,具有整体刚性和柔性部分的结构以及具有无缝分叉部分的管的结构。 诸如这些的基于纤维的结构可以用于形成电缆和耳机或其他电子设备附件的其它部件,用于电子设备的外壳,例如便携式计算机的外壳和其他结构。
