Abstract:
The present application describes various embodiments of systems and methods for providing internal components for portable computing devices having a thin profile. More particularly, the present application describes internal components configured to fit within a relatively thin outer enclosure.
Abstract:
A multipart computer housing is described. The multipart computer housing includes at least a structural support layer and a body. The body includes at least an outer layer formed of lightweight flexible material and an inner layer attached to the outer layer. The inner layer is connected to the support layer forming a load path between the inner layer and the structural support layer. A load applied to the multipart computer housing is transferred by way of the load path to the support layer without substantially affecting the outer layer.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus for mitigating the effects of interference between multiple air interfaces located on an electronic device. In one embodiment, the air interfaces include a WLAN interface and PAN (e.g., Bluetooth) interface, and information such as Receiver Signal Strength Index (RSSI) as well as system noise level information are used in order to intelligently execute interference mitigation methodologies, including the selective application of modified frequency selection, variation of transmitter power, and/or change of operating mode (e.g., from multiple- in multiple-out (MIMO) to single-in, single-out (SISO)) so as to reduce isolation requirements between the interfaces. These methods and apparatus are particularly well suited to use cases where the WLAN interface is operating with high data transmission rates. Business methods associated with the foregoing technology are also described.
Abstract:
A portable computing device, comprising: a single piece, seamless housing; and a top cover pivotally connected to the single piece seamless housing, the top cover comprising: a display housing enclosing a recess and including a first alignment pin extending from an inside surface of the display housing, and a camera module disposed within the recess, the camera module comprising: a lens assembly, a camera printed circuit board (PCB), and a first receiving feature having a size and shape in accordance with the first alignment pin, the first alignment pin being received into the first receiving feature that aids in aligning the lens assembly to a lens opening in the display housing.
