    Abstract: Exemplary embodiments described herein relate to methods and systems for casting metal alloys into articles such as BMG articles. In one embodiment, processes involved for storing, pre-treating, alloying, melting, injecting, molding, etc. can be combined as desired and conducted in different chambers. During these processes, each chamber can be independently, separately controlled to have desired chamber environment, e.g., under vacuum, in an inert gas environment, or open to the surrounding environment. Due to the flexible, independent control of each chamber, the casting cycle time can be reduced and the production throughput can be increased. Contaminations of the molten materials and thus the final products are reduced or eliminated.

    Abstract: An electronic device such as a media player may be formed from electrical components such as integrated circuits, buttons, and a battery. Electrical input-output port contacts may be used to play audio and to convey digital signals. Electrical components for the device may be mounted to a substrate. The components may be encapsulated in an encapsulant and covered with an optional housing structure. The electrical input-output port contacts and portions of components such as buttons may remain uncovered by encapsulant during the encapsulation process. Integrated circuits may be entirely encapsulated with encapsulant. The integrated circuits may be packaged or unpackaged integrated circuit die. The substrate may be a printed circuit board or may be an integrated circuit to which components are directly connected without interposed printed circuit board materials.
