US Patent:
7804487, Sep 28, 2010
Filed:
Dec 7, 2001
Appl. No.:
10/012751
Inventors:
Thomas Acampora - San Jose CA, US
Kevin Scott Fetterman - Sunnyvale CA, US
Assignee:
Apple Inc. - Cupertino CA
International Classification:
G09G 5/00
US Classification:
345169, 36167902
Abstract:
Improved housing for a computing device is disclosed. The improved housing is provided with one of an illuminable connector, a touch pad arrangement, and a palm rest stiffening plate.

US Patent:
8233109, Jul 31, 2012
Filed:
Oct 16, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/580914
Inventors:
Kathleen A. Bergeron - Los Gatos CA, US
Laura DeForest - Sunnyvale CA, US
Kevin S. Fetterman - Los Altos CA, US
Michelle Goldberg - Sunnyvale CA, US
Timothy S. Hibbard - Menlo Park CA, US
Chung-Tse Huang - Fongshan, TW
William F. Leggett - San Francisco CA, US
Zachary Joseph Zeliff - Taipei, TW
Assignee:
Apple Inc. - Cupertino CA
International Classification:
G02F 1/1333
US Classification:
349 58, 349 60
Abstract:
A display housing for a portable computing device that utilizes a plastic cover bonded to an internal metal frame is described. To account for thermal cycling issues and in particular to prevent bond slippage, multiple types of adhesives are employed to join the metal frame and the plastic cover. In particular, a very high bond (VHB) adhesive material is used in certain areas to bond the metal inner frame to the plastic cover and a liquid adhesive is used in other areas. The plastic cover can be translucent to light. A method of coating the plastic cover to block light, such as from a backlight used for the display, is described.

Portable Computer Electrical Grounding And Audio System Architectures

View page
US Patent:
8553907, Oct 8, 2013
Filed:
Oct 16, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/580985
Inventors:
Gary Thomason - Boulder Creek CA, US
Kevin S. Fetterman - Los Altos CA, US
Laura M. DeForest - Sunnyvale CA, US
Ron Hopkinson - Campbell CA, US
Michelle Goldberg - Sunnyvale CA, US
Ruchi Goel - San Jose CA, US
John Raff - Menlo Park CA, US
Timothy S. Hibbard - Menlo Park CA, US
Assignee:
Apple Inc. - Cupertino CA
International Classification:
H03G 3/00
US Classification:
381103, 36167955
Abstract:
A portable computing device having a substantially non-conducting outer housing and alternative electrical grounding and audio system architectures is disclosed. The device can be a laptop computer having a main logic board, a keyboard assembly, an audio source positioned below the keyboard assembly, and an equalizer electrically coupled to the audio source, with each of these components being electrically coupled to a universal grounding structure. The audio source emits sound waves that are propagated through the keyboard assembly and between gaps between keyboard keys and the outer housing. Settings for the equalizer can be selected to account for sound absorption and amplification characteristics of the sound waves along these sound transmission paths. The universal grounding structure includes a plurality of separate ground components that are electrically intercoupled, each being substantially smaller than the overall portable computing device, and also includes an electromagnetic interference shield around the main logic board.

A47B 81/00
B32B 37/02
US Classification:
3122232, 4029901, 40638, 156151
Abstract:
An aluminum housing and methods of fabrication are described. The computer housing being suitable for enclosing a computer assembly. The aluminum housing includes an aluminum structural support portion covered by a thermoplastic elastomer material. The aluminum is first textured and anodized before an adhesive film is applied to an unsealed anodized aluminum surface. The thermoplastic elastomer material is then overmolded onto the pre-bonded aluminum structural support to provide a protective layer that is pleasing to the eye and touch.
