  • Patent number: 9455228
    Abstract: This is directed to self-shielded components and methods for making the same. A self-shielded component can include an electromagnetic interference (EMI) shield that contains circuitry within a shielded space defined by the EMI shield. Self-shielding can be achieved by interfacing a conformal shield layer to a ground layer disposed on or within a substrate of the self-shielded component. The combination of the conformal shield layer and the around layer can form a boundary of the shielded space that envelops circuitry requiring shielding. This enables the self-shielded component to be mounted to a circuit board without requiring a shield can or other processing to impart EMI shielding. In addition, the self-shielded components include the benefits of EMI shielding while simultaneously decreasing space requirements.

  • Publication number: 20140133174
    Abstract: Electronic devices may include displays. A display may include backlight components that provide backlight illumination for the display. Backlight components may include a light guide plate that distributes light from a light source across the display. A plastic display chassis may be used to support display layers and backlight components. A light blocking material such as a layer of metal or opaque coating material may be formed on a surface of the plastic display chassis and may be used to reduce light leakage from the backlight components to the exterior of the electronic device. A metal barrier structure may be formed on a surface of the support structure and may be used to ground a conductive display layer to a conductive support structure such as a metal display chassis or a metal housing member. The plastic display chassis may be insert molded around a light barrier structure.

  • Patent number: 8118216
    Abstract: A method (and system) of discovering a significant subset in a collection of documents, includes identifying a set of documents from a plurality of documents based on a likelihood that documents in the set of documents carries an instance of information that is characteristic to the documents in the set of documents.

  • Patent number: 7983468
    Abstract: A method (and system) for extracting information from a document, includes segregating a set of documents from a plurality of documents based on a likelihood that at least one document in the set of documents carries an instance of a preset information.
