Abstract: A computing component is described. The computing component includes a cosmetic prefabricated sheet of material. In some embodiments, the cosmetic prefabricated sheet of material may have a cosmetic surface and a protrusion surface. The computing component includes a protrusion extending from the protrusion surface of the cosmetic prefabricated sheet of material. In some embodiments, the cosmetic surface of the cosmetic prefabricated sheet of material is uniform in appearance to the naked eye. In some embodiments, the protrusion may have a base and an end. The base may have a cross-sectional width and the end may have a cross-sectional width. A difference in the cross-sectional width of the base and the cross-sectional width of the end may be less than 250 microns.

Abstract: Cooling of an electronic device that includes a first portion and a second portion is provided. The first portion and the second portion are rotatable relative to each other. A first sensor measures a first temperature at a first location within or on the electronic device continuously or intermittently. A second sensor measures a second temperature at a second location within or on the electronic device continuously or intermittently. A processor identifies a first state of the electronic device or a second state of the electronic device. The processor controls operation of the electronic device based on the first measured temperature and the second measured temperature when the electronic device is in the identified first state and controls the operation of the electronic device based on the first measured temperatures but not based on the second measured temperatures when the electronic device is in the identified second state.

Abstract: Printed circuit boards include conductive metallic paths, such as vias, traces, and pads on the printed circuit board. One or more metal additive structures are additively manufactured onto the printed circuit boards in a manner that forms a continuous weld with at least one of the conductive metallic paths. As a result, the metal additive structures are continuous with the printed circuit board and do not require separate attachment mechanisms (e.g., soldering or mechanical fastening). The metal additive structures may include shield cans, frames, antennas, or heat sinks for the printed circuit board, for example.

Abstract: The description relates to computing devices, such as mobile computing devices employing mesh covers. One example can include a frame that defines a perimeter of the device. An inwardly facing portion of the frame can define a recess that has opposing upper and lower surfaces. A self-retaining assembly can be positioned in the recess and can expand against the upper and lower surfaces to retain the self-retaining assembly in the recess without external mechanisms.

Abstract: A hinge for providing determinant motion in an electronic device includes a first body, a second body, and a lock. The lock includes a first cam connected to the first body and a second cam connected to the second body. The first cam has a first cam surface and the second cam has a second cam surface. The follower is positioned and moveable between the first cam and the second cam and is configured to be received by the first cam surface and the second cam surface. The first cam is rotatable about a first pivot point and the second cam is rotatable about a second pivot point.
