Abstract: An electronic device may include a display and an enclosure. The enclosure may include a housing, a front cover coupled to the housing and comprising a front cover member positioned over the display, and a rear cover coupled to the housing and including a rear cover member. The rear cover member may be formed from a glass material including metal nanoparticles configured to impart color to the glass material and having a dielectric constant from 5.5 to 7.5 in a frequency band from 5 GHz to 45 GHz. The rear cover member may include a first portion defining a first thickness and characterized by a first color, and a second portion defining a second thickness, greater than the first thickness, and characterized by a second color, different from the first color.

Abstract: A portable electronic device may include a housing having a wall defining an opening in the housing and at least a portion of four side surfaces of the portable electronic device. The portable electronic device may further include a display at least partially within the housing, a front cover positioned in the opening in the housing and over the display, the front cover defining a front surface, a peripheral side surface extending from the front surface and at least partially surrounded by the wall of the housing, and a notch that, together with a portion of the wall of the housing, defines an acoustic port of the portable electronic device. The electronic device may further include an acoustic port cover positioned at least partially in the acoustic port and a speaker at least partially within the housing and configured to direct sound through the acoustic port cover.

Abstract: A portable electronic device may include a touch-sensitive display, a housing at least partially enclosing the touch-sensitive display, the housing defining an audio port along a side of the housing, the audio port defining a partially enclosed volume, and an acoustic module positioned within the housing and including an audio enclosure defining a first passage and a second passage, a microphone operably coupled to the partially enclosed volume of the audio port by the first passage, a pressure sensor operably coupled to the partially enclosed volume of the audio port by the second passage, and an acoustic mesh positioned between an end of the second passage and the audio port.

Abstract: A stack of media items are urged along a transport path that includes a bend in the track of the transport path. A first phase of separating the media items from the stack includes pre-separating the media items from the stack as the media items are urged along the bend. A second phase includes separating a leading media item from the stack by urging the leading media item exiting the first phase between opposing rollers to transport the leading media item along the transport path within a value media depository.

Abstract: Systems and methods for deskewing a media object may include receiving, at a deskew of a self-service terminal, the media object. The method may also include engaging a drive member to position the media object into a first position within the deskew. A deskew member may be engaged in a first direction to position the media object into a second position within the deskew. The deskew member may be engaged in a second direction to position the media object into a third position within the deskew.
