Patent number: 9128118Abstract: A test system may be provided in which devices under test are tested using radio-frequency test stations. A test station may include a test host, a test unit coupled to the test host, and a shielded enclosure. The shielded enclosure may contain a test antenna coupled to the test unit via a radio-frequency cable. A computer-controlled loading arm may be used to place a device under test on a positioner within the test enclosure. The test enclosure may have an enclosure door that is opened and closed using a computer-controlled pneumatic cylinder. When the enclosure door is closed, a portion of the enclosure door may actuate one or more levers on the positioner, which may in turn actuate one or more positioning arms to press the device under test against one or more guide surfaces on the positioner, thereby precisely positioning the device under test within the test enclosure.Type: GrantFiled: August 21, 2012Date of Patent: September 8, 2015Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Jonathan M. Haylock, Robert J. Hill, Peter G. Panagas

Patent number: 8971821Abstract: A test system may include a wireless test chamber with metal walls lined with pyramidal absorbers. A trapdoor may be provided in a wall opening to accommodate a robotic arm. The robotic arm may have grippers that grip a device under test or a support structure that is supporting a device under test. The robotic arm may move the device under test to a docking station for automatic battery charging during testing. When it is desired to perform wireless tests on a device under test, the robotic arm may move the device under test through the trapdoor into an interior portion of the test chamber. A turntable and movable test antenna may be used to rotate the device under test while varying angular orientations between test antenna and device under test. Emitted radiation levels can be measured using a liquid filled phantom and test probe on a robotic arm.Type: GrantFiled: November 20, 2012Date of Patent: March 3, 2015Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Robert W. Schlub, Boon Wai Shiu, Chun-Lung Chen, Jonathan M. Haylock, Hagan P. O'Connor

Publication number: 20140325793Abstract: A hinge apparatus includes an inner cylindrical housing having a first slot formed therethough extending between distal ends of the inner cylindrical housing, and an outer cylindrical housing having a second slot formed therethough extending between distal ends of the outer cylindrical housing and being configured to engage with the inner cylindrical housing. The first slot and second slot form unique paths which prevent complete alignment of the first slot and the second slot during axial rotation of the hinge apparatus.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 21, 2014Publication date: November 6, 2014Inventors: Jonathan M. HAYLOCK, Gordon C. CAMERON

Publication number: 20130335285Abstract: Electronic devices may be provided with conductive structures such as displays and conductive housing walls. Conductive gaskets may be used to form electrical paths between opposing conductive structures in an electronic device. During device assembly, a conductive gasket may be compressed between opposing conductive structures. The conductive gasket may be formed from a conductive gasket wall structure. The conductive gasket wall structure may surround and at least partly enclose an air-filled cavity. Conductive gasket wall structures may be formed from conductive fabric, dielectric sheets coated with metal, or other conductive wall materials. The interior of a conductive gasket may be hollow and completely devoid of supporting structures or may contain internal structures for biasing the conductive gasket wall outwards. Planar gaskets and gaskets with other cross sections may be provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 19, 2012Publication date: December 19, 2013Applicant: Apple Inc.Inventors: David P.
