Abstract: An electronic device such as a desktop computer may have a housing with a conductive housing wall and a display mounted to the housing opposite the conductive housing wall. A conductive tongue may extend through an opening in the housing wall to secure the housing to a hinge barrel on a desktop stand. A slot antenna may be formed from a slot element in the conductive tongue. The antenna may be fed by a flexible printed circuit coupled across the slot element or by a feed printed circuit in the housing that is coupled to the conductive tongue by a conductive screw. A conductive sleeve may be placed over the conductive tongue. The stand may be replaced with a mounting bracket.

Abstract: A structure can include a body having a first surface and a second opposing surface. The three-dimensional structure can include the body defining a first pattern of first cavities extending into the body from the first surface and the body defining a second pattern of second cavities extending into the body from the second surface. One or more first cavities can eccentrically intersect with one or more second cavities to define a pattern of apertures in the body.

CPC classification number: G06F1/1656 , G06F1/1637
Abstract: An electronic device can include a processor, output device(s) coupled thereto, and an outer housing or enclosure containing these and other electronic and/or optical items. The enclosure can include a substantially thin contoured component having an external surface exposed to a user and an internal surface. A stiffening plate situated with respect to the internal surface provides a substantial increase in the torsional stiffness and/or bending stiffness of the enclosure. The stiffening plate and contoured component can form a cavity therebetween, and one or more ridges, fins, plates, foam structures and/or other structural items can be located within the cavity. In various embodiments, the device can be a laptop computer and the contoured component can be a dome shaped outer housing behind the display portion thereof.

Abstract: An electronic device having protruding features and a method for molding the protruding features to the electronic device are described. The protruding features may be formed by a molding tool that releases a material that flows through several apertures of a substrate. Also, the molding tool is positioned with respect to the substrate such that the material from the molding tool flows from an interior region of the substrate to an exterior region of the substrate via the several apertures. Accordingly, each aperture extends from an opening of the interior region and to an opening of the exterior region of the substrate. In some cases, the apertures may include a conical shape. For example, the opening in the interior region may include a diameter greater than a diameter of the opening in the exterior region. In this manner, the material, when cured, is mechanically secured to the substrate.
