Abstract: A force-measuring device (FMD) assembly for a portable electronic apparatus includes a mid-frame including a base portion, a sidewall portion, and a transition region between the base portion and the sidewall portion, and force-measuring devices coupled to the inner surface of the sidewall portion. The sidewall portion and the transition region are elongate along a longitudinal axis. FMDs are coupled to the inner surface at respective contact regions of the sidewall portion and are separated from each other along the longitudinal axis. Each of the FMDs includes strain-sensing element(s). Each of the FMDs corresponds to a respective sense region of the sidewall portion. The transition region includes a respective elongate slit or trough for each of the sense regions. The respective elongate slit or trough is elongate along the longitudinal axis. Adjacent elongate slits or troughs are separated by a respective rib.

Abstract: A MEMS sensor includes a through hole to allow communication with an external environment, such as to send or receive acoustic signals or to be exposed to the ambient environment. In addition to the information that is being measured, light energy may also enter the environment of the sensor via the through hole, causing short-term or long-term effects on measurements or system components. A light mitigating structure is formed on or attached to a lid of the MEMS die to absorb or selectively reflect the received light in a manner that limits effects on the measurements or interest and system components.

Abstract: A semiconductor device may include a first substrate, a first electrical component, a lid, a second substrate, and a second electrical component. The first substrate may include an upper surface, a lower surface, and an upper cavity in the upper surface. The first electrical component may reside in the upper cavity of the first substrate. The lid may cover the upper cavity and may include a port that permits fluid to flow between an environment external to the semiconductor device and the upper cavity. The second substrate may include the second electrical component mounted to an upper surface of the second substrate. The lower surface of the first substrate and the upper surface of the second substrate may fluidically seal the second electrical component from the upper cavity.
