Publication number: 20240057275Abstract: An assembly for stacking a plurality of circuit boards of an electronics package is provided. The assembly may comprise a chassis structure, a first plurality of printed circuit board (PCB), and a second plurality of PCBs, where the second plurality of PCBs are configured to be coupled to connectors of the first plurality of PCBs that are accessible via connection access points in the chassis structure. The first plurality of PCBs is positioned on a first side of the chassis structure, and the second plurality of PCBs are positioned on a second side of the chassis structure. Positioning tolerancing of the second plurality of PCBs relative to the first plurality of PCBs is provided by the connectors of the first plurality of PCBs.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 11, 2023Publication date: February 15, 2024Applicant: NIO Technology (Anhui) Co., Ltd.Inventors: Tseng-Mau Yang, Waylon Y.

Patent number: 11860409Abstract: A display may have an array of display pixels that generate an image. A coherent fiber bundle may be mounted on the display pixels. The coherent fiber bundle may have a first surface that is adjacent to the display pixels and a second surface that is visible to a viewer. The coherent fiber bundle may contain fibers that carry light from the first surface to the second surface. The second surface may be planar or may have a central planar region and curved edge regions that run along opposing sides of the central planar region. The fibers may have cross-sectional surface areas with a first aspect ratio on the first surface and a second aspect ratio that is greater than the first aspect ratio on the second surface.Type: GrantFiled: August 10, 2021Date of Patent: January 2, 2024Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Tseng-Mau Yang, Christopher D. Prest, Dale N. Memering

Publication number: 20230309264Abstract: An assembly includes a condenser plate, a plurality of pads and one or more heat-pipes. The condenser plate includes a plurality of apertures. Each of the plurality of apertures overlaps a location of a corresponding one of a plurality of integrated circuits. Each of the plurality of pads is disposed within each of the plurality of apertures and is configured to move in a vertical direction. The one or more heat-pipes are attached to the condenser plate and the plurality of pads and are configured to move in the vertical direction. Each of the plurality of pads is configured to be in thermal connection with the corresponding one of the plurality of integrated circuits by a movement of the one or more heat-pipes in the vertical direction to transfer to the condenser plate, thermal energy received by each of the plurality of pads from the plurality of integrated circuits.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 27, 2023Publication date: September 28, 2023Applicant: NIO Technology (Anhui) Co., Ltd.Inventors: Tseng-Mau Yang, Bradley J.

Publication number: 20230209880Abstract: An electronic device may be provided with a display mounted in a housing. The display may have an array of display pixels that provide image light to a user. The array of display pixels may form an active display structure with a rectangular shape. The rectangular active display structure may be surrounded by an inactive border region. Optical structures such as a sheet of glass or another optical member may have portions that are configured to bend light from the display pixels along the periphery of the active display structure. The optical member may have an area that is larger than the area of the active display structure, so that the presence of the optical member may serve to enlarge the apparent size of the display. Solidified liquid polymer may be used to support the optical structures and may be interposed between the optical structures and the active display structures.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 2, 2023Publication date: June 29, 2023Inventors: Tseng-Mau Yang, Christopher D.

Publication number: 20190254185Abstract: An electronic device having multiple housing components interlocked together by a molded material is disclosed. In order to provide interlocking surfaces for the molded material, the housing components can include various geometries designed to receive and retain the molded material such that the housing components are secured with one another. For example, a first housing part can undergo several material removal operations to form multiple ribs, each with through holes. When the molded material extends along the ribs and into the through holes, the molded material cures and interlocks with the first housing part. A second housing part can include several stepped indentions that receive the molded material. Also, a third housing part can include a dovetail indention to receive the molded material such that the first and second housing parts interlock with the third housing part. The indentions can provide retention in three dimensions to protect against decoupling.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 26, 2019Publication date: August 15, 2019Inventors: Tyler B. CATER, Benjamin J. POPE, Scott A. MYERS, Benjamin Shane BUSTLE, Tseng-Mau YANG, Adam J. BRINKMAN
