Abstract: A mobile computing device is presented. The mobile computing device has two housing segments that each contains a set of electrical components. The housing segments are slideably coupled to each other to move between a first position and a second position. The mobile computing device also has a cable connector that connects the sets of electrical components together. The cable connector is configured to include three connector structures that are each configured to mate with a connector. A first connector structure is configured to mate with a first connector of the first housing segment in connecting to the first set of electrical components. Similarly, a second connector structure is configured to mate with a first connector of the second housing segment in connecting to a first portion of the second set of electrical components.

Abstract: A slider assembly for a computing device to interconnect at least two housing segments is disclosed. The first housing segment provides a first base plate and the second housing segment provides a second base plate. The slider assembly interconnects the two housing segments so that the segments may move about each other between a contracted and extended position. The slider assembly includes a rail that is provided with the first base plate and that engages a structure that is provided with the second base plate. The rail is enabled to move between one of the contracted or extended position. The slider assembly also includes a ground spring to maintain contact between the second base plate the rail.

Abstract: A speaker component for a portable electronic device which accepts a receiver and redirects the sound emitted from the receiver toward the speaker hole in the device housing is disclosed. The receiver may be oriented such that sound is directed away from the speaker hole to reduce the footprint of the receiver within the device housing. A channel of the speaker component may redirect or port the sound to the speaker hole. Accordingly, embodiments provide more flexibility for positioning of the speaker hole and the receiver with respect to the device housing. The speaker component may also have a self-contained back volume chamber adjoining the receiver which does not include portions of the device housing or other components of the portable electronic device, thereby improving the sound quality of the sound emitted from the receiver and providing more flexibility as to the size and shape of the back volume chamber.
