Patent number: 7636244Abstract: A computing device having an improved enclosure arrangement is disclosed. One aspect of the enclosure pertains to enclosure parts that are structurally bonded together to form a singular composite structure. In one embodiment, structural glue is used to bond at least two unique parts together. Another aspect of the enclosure pertains to enclosure parts that are electrically bonded together to form a singular integrated conductive member. In one embodiment, conductive paste is used to bond at least two unique parts together. The improved enclosure is particularly useful in portable computing devices such as laptop computers.Type: GrantFiled: December 29, 2006Date of Patent: December 22, 2009Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Michael Kriege, Dan Hong, John DiFonzo, Stephen Zadesky, David Lynch, David Lundgren, Nick Merz

Patent number: 6413103Abstract: Methods and apparatus for reducing electromagnetic interference emissions are disclosed. According to one aspect of the present invention, a cable includes a first coaxial cable component, a second coaxial cable component, and a grounding plate. The first coaxial cable component has a first end and a second end, and includes a first shield. The second coaxial cable component also has a first end and a second end, and includes a second shield. The grounding plate is arranged to be conductively coupled, e.g., electrically coupled, to the first shield and the second shield, and is offset from the first end of the first coaxial cable component, the second end of the first coaxial cable component, the first end of the second coaxial cable component, and the second end of the second coaxial cable component. In one embodiment, the grounding plate is also arranged to contact a ground source.Type: GrantFiled: November 28, 2000Date of Patent: July 2, 2002Assignee: Apple Computer, Inc.Inventors: Nicholas G.
