Publication number: 20250112383Abstract: Examples can provide extended-range high-speed interconnect by providing microcoax cables in a hybrid flexible circuit board, which can be referred to as a hybrid flex or microcoax flex. This hybrid flex can be used to convey signals an extended distance within an electronic device. Multiple signals can be conveyed using corresponding microcoax cables. The microcoax cables can include a center conductor, an insulating layer, and an outside shield layer. The cables can be held in position in the hybrid flex relative to each other by a polyimide or other insulative layer. Copper layers can be provided on either or both the top and bottom of the polyimide or other insulative layer. Additional conductors can be embedded in the polyimide other insulative layer to convey power and ground. The microcoax and other conductors can be soldered to a flexible circuit board or other substrate using jet soldering.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 9, 2023Publication date: April 3, 2025Applicant: Apple Inc.Inventors: Steven Webster, Henry M.

Patent number: 11809686Abstract: User interfaces may enable users to initiate voice-communications with voice-controlled devices via a Wi-Fi network or other network via an Internet Protocol (IP) address. The user interfaces may include controls to enable users to initiate voice communications, such as Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) calls, with devices that do not have connectivity with traditional mobile telephone networks, such as traditional circuit transmissions of a Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN). For example, the user interface may enable initiating a voice communication with a voice-controlled device that includes network connectivity via a home Wi-Fi network. The user interfaces may indicate availability of devices and/or contacts for voice communications and/or recent activity of devices or contact.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2021Date of Patent: November 7, 2023Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Blair Harold Beebe, Katherine Ann Baker, David Michael Rowell, Peter Chin
