    Abstract: An apparatus comprises a fingerprint sensor having a set of capacitive elements configured for capacitively coupling to a user fingerprint. The fingerprint sensor may be disposed under a control button or display element of an electronic device, for example one or more of a control button and a display component. A responsive element is responsive to proximity of the user fingerprint, for example one or both of a first circuit responsive to motion of the control button, and a second circuit responsive to a coupling between the fingerprint and a surface of the display element. The fingerprint sensor is disposed closer to the fingerprint than the responsive element. The control button or display component may include an anisotropic dielectric material, for example sapphire.

    Abstract: This application relates to securing and positioning internal components within a housing of a portable computing device. In one embodiment, a number of insert molded retaining members are utilized to inhibit outward deformation of a sidewall of the housing during a drop event. In another embodiment, a cowling is utilized to retain a number of board-to-board connectors within communication slots on a printed circuit board (PCB). In another embodiment, a C-shaped washer having diametrically opposed protrusions is utilized to adjust an alignment of an internal component.

    Abstract: Electronic devices may be provided that have antenna traces. The antenna traces may be configured to form an inductive loop that serves as a near field communications antenna. A layer of ferrite may be provided to reduce interference between the antenna and internal device components. The layer of ferrite and the antenna traces may be deposited on a common substrate such as a layer of polymer or a dielectric electronic device housing. A protective layer of polymer may be used to form a coating on the layer of ferrite. Ferrite may be formed on the same side of a substrate as the antenna traces or may be formed on an opposing side of the substrate.

    Abstract: A portable electronic device may include an enclosure defining an interior cavity and having a front cover, and a haptic engine positioned in the interior cavity. The haptic engine may include a first body component defining a first side of the haptic engine and including a first spring flexure and a first end element molded over a portion of the first spring flexure, a second body component defining a second side of the haptic engine opposite the first side and including a second spring flexure and a second end element molded over a portion of the second spring flexure, a movable mass component coupled to the first spring flexure and the second spring flexure, and a coil configured to induce a linear movement of the movable mass component in response to the actuation signal thereby producing a haptic output.
