Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a battery pouch that includes a cavity. The battery pouch also includes a first transition between a first side of the battery pouch and a second side of the battery pouch. The first side of the battery pouch includes a first sealed portion having a minimum threshold distance between the cavity and the edge of the battery pouch. More specifically, the first sealed portion is located between a first outer edge of the cavity and a first outer edge of the battery pouch. The battery pouch also includes a second side having a second sealed portion with minimum threshold distance. Other embodiments are also described and claimed.

Abstract: A battery assembly includes a battery cell with leads extending from the battery and a circuit including a substrate and contacts that extend from the substrate. The leads are coupled to the contacts by mechanical or adhesive bonds located on sections of the contacts extending from the substrate. In various implementations, the circuit may include a variety of different components coupled to the substrate. Such components may be operable to perform a variety of functions such as regulating, monitoring, controlling, and/or otherwise managing the battery cell. Such components may include one or more battery management units, safety circuits, capacity gauges, and/or other components.

Abstract: Adhesive may be used to bond electronic device structures together. The adhesive may be a heat activated film. Heat to activate the film may be produced by vibrating electronic device structures so that they rub against each other. An ohmic heating element may be used to produce heat under the control of circuitry inside an electronic device and may be adjusted based on temperature sensor data. Infrared light may pass through a display cover layer to activate the heat activated film. Radio-frequency signals may heat the heat activated film and may be absorbed by fibers in the film or resonant elements such as metal traces. Exothermic reactions may be used to activate the film. An ultraviolet light source may initiate curing of a solid adhesive film layer before the layer is pressed between structures to be joined. A display may produce light that cures adhesive in an electronic device.

Abstract: An electrical board-to-board connector including a flexible cable assembly having a low profile or dimensionally reduced configuration. The connector body of a cable assembly may be widened to provide the structural rigidity sufficient to support an array of solder lead connections. Other support elements may be omitted from the cable assembly, which results in a reduced height dimension. The flexible cable assembly may also include a cowling used to retain the cable assembly against a circuit board. The cowling may also be configured to reduce the dimensions or dimensional footprint of the connection.

Abstract: An electronic device has a self-healing elastomer applied over one or more external electronic connectors. The self-healing elastomer may obscure the electronic connectors from the user as well as provide environmental protection for the connector and the electronic device. Electronic probes may temporarily penetrate the self-healing elastomer to mate with the electronic connector. After removal of the probes the self-healing elastomer may elastically reform and self-heal.

Abstract: An electronic device has structures that are assembled using attachment structures. The attachment structures change shape to help join the electronic device structures together. Structures that may be joined together can include electronic device housing structures, display structures, internal device components, electrical components, and other portions of an electronic device. The attachment structures can include heat-activated attachment structures, structures that are activated using other types of applied energy, and structures that change shape due the application of chemicals or other treatments.
