US Patent:
8199477, Jun 12, 2012
Filed:
Jun 11, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/483205
Inventors:
Dinesh C. Mathew - Fremont CA, US
Nicholas Alan Rundle - Santa Clara CA, US
Bryan W. Posner - La Selva Beach CA, US
Assignee:
Apple Inc. - Cupertino CA
International Classification:
G06F 1/16
US Classification:
36167929, 36167926, 36167927, 349 58, 345905, 3122231, 3122232
Abstract:
An electronic device housing may contain a display module. The display module may contain layers of material such as a color filter layer and a thin-film transistor layer. These layers of material may be mounted in a display module chassis. A cover glass may cover the display module. The housing may have springs that mate with corresponding holes in the chassis of the display module to hold the display module in place within the housing. The springs may flex about a flex axis that is perpendicular to a planar rear housing surface and the planar layers of the display module. A disassembly tool may be inserted into a gap between the cover glass and housing sidewalls. When the disassembly tool is rotated, a fin on the tool may press against an engagement structure in the spring and may release the spring from the display module.

US Patent:
8519564, Aug 27, 2013
Filed:
May 12, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/778738
Inventors:
Aleksandar Pance - Saratoga CA, US
Nicholas Alan Rundle - San Jose CA, US
John Douglas Field - Los Gatos CA, US
Assignee:
Apple Inc. - Cupertino CA
International Classification:
H02J 3/14
US Classification:
307 31
Abstract:
An apparatus for providing power to an electronic device may include a power input configured to receive an input voltage from a power supply, and a rectifier operatively connected to the power input and configured to convert the input voltage to a first voltage. The rectifier may further be configured to transmit the first voltage to a first power output operatively connected to the rectifier. The apparatus may further include a power converter operatively connected to the rectifier and configured to convert the first voltage to a second voltage different than the first voltage and a first relay operatively connected to the rectifier to selectively prevent the first voltage from being transmitted through the first power output. The power converter may further be configured to transmit the second voltage to a second power output operatively connected to the power converter.

Shape Reflector And Surface Contour Mapping

US Patent:
20130201325, Aug 8, 2013
Filed:
Sep 28, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/630025
Inventors:
Apple Inc. - Cupertino CA, US
Nicholas Alan RUNDLE - San Jose CA, US
Assignee:
APPLE INC. - Cupertino CA
International Classification:
H04N 7/18
US Classification:
348135, 348E07085
Abstract:
The three dimensional surface shape of one or more layers of a reflective object is determined by examining one or more captured images reflected from the reflective object. Curved surfaces reflect a distorted image altered by the surface shape. By analyzing one or more captured images of the distorted reflected images, the shape of the surface that caused the distortion is estimated. A captured distorted image is compared to a reference undistorted image having known geometric properties. A system to capture and process such images is assembled from components including an image capture assembly such as a digital camera to capture reflected images and a positioning assembly on which to orient the components with respect to each other. Multiple surface layers of the reflective object are separately estimated using polarizations, luminance levels, chroma values or combinations thereof contained in one or more captured images.

International Classification:
H05K 9/00
H01Q 1/52
US Classification:
343841, 174351, 174356
Abstract:
Electronic devices may be provided with conductive structures such as displays and conductive housing walls. Conductive gaskets may be used to form electrical paths between opposing conductive structures in an electronic device. During device assembly, a conductive gasket may be compressed between opposing conductive structures. The conductive gasket may be formed from a conductive gasket wall structure. The conductive gasket wall structure may surround and at least partly enclose an air-filled cavity. Conductive gasket wall structures may be formed from conductive fabric, dielectric sheets coated with metal, or other conductive wall materials. The interior of a conductive gasket may be hollow and completely devoid of supporting structures or may contain internal structures for biasing the conductive gasket wall outwards. Planar gaskets and gaskets with other cross sections may be provided.

Abstract:
Examples of computing devices including a processor, memory, and a display device housed within the same enclosure are described. In examples, the display device, which may include a cover glass, may be attached to the enclosure using a multilayer adhesive member, the multilayer adhesive including a first adhesive layer and a second adhesive layer disposed on opposite sides of a foam layer. The first and/or second adhesive layers may include two or more layers of a pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA), which may be separated using one or more adhesive carrier films. In examples, the first and/or second adhesive layers may include a low tack (e.g. removable) PSA for adhering to surfaces of the display and enclosure and for facilitation removal and re-workability of the adhesive joint.
