Abstract: An electronic device having liquid-resistant modifications that prevent liquid ingress into an opening (or openings) in an enclosure of the electronic device is disclosed. For example, the electronic device may include a coating formed from a liquid-resistant material that is applied internally to the enclosure. The electronic device may further include a frame that carries a protective transparent layer designed to cover a display assembly. In order to secure the frame with the enclosure, the electronic device may include an adhesive assembly disposed over an outer perimeter of the coating. The adhesive assembly may include several adhesive parts initially separate from one another. However, with the adhesive parts between the frame and the enclosure, the adhesive parts can be compressed by the frame and the enclosure, causing the adhesive parts to expand and engage each other. As a result, the coating and the adhesive parts provide a seal against liquid.

Abstract: An electronic device having several modifications designed to prevent liquid ingress into an opening (or openings) of the electronic device is disclosed. For example, the electronic device includes a SIM tray having a sealing element designed to provide a seal at an opening that receives the SIM tray. The sealing element may include a first section and a second section extending from the first section, with the first section designed to bend with respect to (and in some cases collapse onto) the second section. The electronic device may further include an audio module fitted with a sealing element. The sealing element may include extensions extending away from a main body of the sealing element, with some extension designed to engage the audio module, and other extensions designed to engage an audio module interface. The sealing element provides a seal against liquid ingress into the audio module.

Abstract: This application relates to systems, methods, and apparatus for welding switches to a bracket for placement inside of a computing device. Each switch can include a metal region that can be welded to a metal surface of a bracket. The metal region of the switch can be a cover that is formed around a body of the switch, or an inserted molded region that is provided on a surface of the switch. The bracket can include recesses that can be used to identify when a switch is abutting the bracket before welding the switch to the bracket. Multiple welds can be provided on each switch to ensure a rigid connection exists between the bracket and switch. Welding can be performed in batches by loading multiple brackets and switches onto a pallet, and thereafter loading the pallet into a welding machine.

Abstract translation: 本申请涉及将开关焊接到支架以用于放置在计算装置内部的系统，方法和装置。 每个开关可以包括可被焊接到支架的金属表面的金属区域。 开关的金属区域可以是围绕开关的主体形成的盖，或者设置在开关的表面上的插入的模制区域。 支架可以包括凹槽，其可以用于在将开关焊接到支架之前识别开关何时与支架邻接。 可以在每个开关上提供多个焊缝，以确保支架和开关之间存在刚性连接。 可以通过将多个托架和开关装载到托盘上，然后将托盘装载到焊接机中来分批进行焊接。
