H01Q 1/24

Abstract:

An electronic device may be provided with a housing, a logic board, and wireless circuitry on the logic board. The wireless circuitry may include first and second antennas formed from conductive traces on a surface of the logic board. The first and second antennas may include resonating element arms at opposing sides of the logic board. The first antenna may have a fundamental mode that radiates in a Bluetooth communications band at 2.4 GHz. The second antenna may radiate in a first ultra-wideband communications band such as a 6.5 GHz ultra-wideband communications band. If desired, the second antenna may also radiate in a second ultra-wideband communications band such as an 8.0 GHz ultra-wideband communications band. In another suitable arrangement, a harmonic mode of the first antenna may radiate in the second ultra-wideband communications band.

Abstract:

Electronic devices are disclosed that include a housing and a display coupled to the housing by an adhesive. The display includes an antenna component. The device includes a casing coupled to the display, a circuit board positioned within the housing, a wireless communication component coupled to the circuit board. The device includes a receptacle connector coupled to the housing and an electrical contact electrically coupled to the wireless communication component. The device further includes a plug connector that electrically connects the antenna component to the wireless communication component. The plug connector includes a first portion electrically coupled to the antenna component, positioned within the casing and translatable within the casing along a first axis orthogonal to a longitudinal axis of the first portion. The plug connector includes a second portion electrically coupled to the first portion, extending into the receptacle connector and contacting the electrical contact of the receptacle connector.

International Classification:

G06F 1/16
H04R 1/02

Abstract:

This application relates to a portable electronic device including a first sensing module and a second sensing module that are both in communication with a processor. The portable electronic device can include access ports that are formed in the housing, where the first and second sensing modules are capable of receiving an external stimulus by way of the access ports. A plate is positioned in the housing between a wall of the housing and the sensing modules. The plate and the wall define non-linear flow paths between the access ports to the first and second sensing modules. The non-linear flow paths can transmit the external stimulus to cause at least one of the first or second sensing modules to provide a detection signal to the processor that causes a display unit to present a notification that corresponds to the external stimulus.

Abstract:

A wearable band may be coupled with an electronic device, and a user can secure the electronic device around a body part of the user with an attachment mechanism of the wearable band. The wearable band and/or the attachment mechanism can include an incremental adjustment mechanism. The attachment mechanism can produce an initial fit or tightness when the wearable band is secured around the body part of the user. The incremental adjustment mechanism can be used to incrementally adjust the initial fit of the wearable band on the body part. The incremental adjustment mechanism is configured to allow the user to adjust the fit or tightness of the wearable band around the body part more finely than the attachment mechanism.

International Classification:

G01L 1/14

Abstract:

An elastomeric gasket is disclosed for use in a portable electronic device. The gasket encapsulates flexible circuits which are used to measure force exerted on a cover glass of the device. The gasket reduces the number of layers of material and thus reduces the risk that outside contaminants and liquids may penetrate the gasket layers and enter the portable electronic device and thereby damage the components of the device.
