Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure pertain to methods of plating magnets with a stack of layers such that the resulting magnet assembly has improved corrosion resistance. Embodiments of the disclosure are also directed to magnet assemblies formed by such methods. Some embodiments include a High Phosphorus Electroless Nickel (HiPEN) layer with Phosphorus content greater than 11% by weight.

Abstract: A mobile communication device having an acoustic divider for minimizing acoustic coupling is disclosed. The mobile communication device includes a housing having an outer surface and internal sidewalls. The outer surface and internal sidewalls define a void disposed at and below the outer surface of the housing. The mobile communication device includes a receiver disposed within the housing and below a first portion of the void, and a microphone disposed within the housing and below a second portion of the void. An acoustic divider is disposed within the void and laterally disposed between the receiver and the microphone. The acoustic divider acoustically isolates the first and second portions of the void, thereby minimizing acoustic coupling between the receiver and the microphone.
