  • Patent number: 10019038
    Abstract: An electronic device may be provided with upper and lower housing portions that are separated by a gap. Hinge structures may allow the upper housing portion to rotate between a closed position and an open position. A flexible printed circuit in the electronic device may be coupled between components in the upper housing portion such as the display and components in the lower housing portion and may span the gap. A hinge gap cover may cover the gap and may overlap the flexible printed circuit to block the flexible printed circuit from view when the upper housing portion is in the closed position. The hinge gap cover may be formed from a layer of radio-transparent material that is rotatably coupled to the upper housing portion and that is biased towards the lower housing with a spring structure.

  • Publication number: 20130225050
    Abstract: An apparatus for lapping a portion of an exterior surface of a housing is described. The apparatus includes at least a lapping tool arranged to execute a lapping operation. The lapping tool takes the form of a lapping pad which includes a conduit through which slurry can be transported for local deposition on the housing during a lapping operation. The apparatus also includes a stage on which a workpiece in the form of a housing is mounted. During the lapping operation, slurry is passed through the slurry conduit in the lapping tool, the lapping tool and the housing are moved in various motions. In this way, a gradual transition region is created between an accessory region and the remainder of the housing.
