A system with a cost estimation tool for estimating a realized bandwidth consumption of a logical edge between a logical producer unit and a logical consumer unit of an operation unit graph during placement and routing of the logical producer unit, the logical consumer unit, and the logical edge onto a reconfigurable processor is presented as well as a method of operating such a cost estimation tool and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium including instructions that, when executed by a processing unit, cause the processing unit to operate such a cost estimation tool The cost estimation tool may be configured to determine the realized bandwidth consumption of the tentative assignment based on an upper bandwidth limit of the logical edge, an end-to-end bandwidth, a scaling factor of a realized bandwidth, and a congestion estimation of the physical link.

A cost estimation tool in a system for implementing an operation unit graph on a reconfigurable processor is presented as well as a method of operating a cost estimation tool for determining scaled logical edge bandwidths in an operation unit graph in preparation of placing and routing the operation unit graph onto a reconfigurable processor. The cost estimation tool may be configured to receive the operation unit graph, divide the operation unit graph in first and second subgraphs, determine maximum latencies of the first and second subgraphs, and determine a scaled logical edge bandwidth of a logical edge that couples a first logical unit of M logical units in the first subgraph with a second logical unit of N logical units in the first subgraph based on M, N, and scaled bandwidth limits of the M and N logical units.

A biometric input system for an electronic device is provided. The biometric input system may be a fingerprint sensing system. The biometric input system includes a biometric sensing component, which may be a capacitive sensing component. The biometric input system also includes a composite cover element, which may be a dielectric cap or coating, and the biometric sensing component is capable of receiving a biometric input from a user through the composite cover element. Electronic devices including the biometric input system are also provided.

A force input sensor includes a load cell to adapt a compressive force applied to the force input sensor into a strain experienced by a strain sensor in the load cell. In particular, the load cell includes two compression plates separated from one another by a gap so as to define a volume between them. A flexible substrate (a 'diaphragm')&#x2014;includes a strain sensor and is disposed and supported within the volume. One of the two compression plates includes a feature (a 'loading feature') that extends toward a central region of the flexible substrate. As a result of this construction, when the compression plates receive a compressive force, the loading feature induces a bending moment in the flexible substrate, thereby straining the strain sensor.

A portable electronic device can include a housing defining an aperture and a display positioned in the aperture. The display and the housing can define an internal volume and a speaker assembly can be positioned in the internal volume. The speaker assembly can include a speaker enclosure sealed to the housing within the internal volume, the speaker enclosure and the housing defining a speaker volume, and a speaker module in fluid communication with the speaker volume, the speaker module including a diaphragm positioned at an aperture defined by the speaker volume, the diaphragm defining multiple ridges.
