Shaving razor

An apparatus comprises a first magnetic plate; a second magnetic plate oriented parallel no the first magnetic plate, magnetically coupled to the first magnetic plate, and slidable relative to the first magnetic plate; a dielectric material positioned between the first magnetic plate and the second magnetic plate; and a contact in communication with the first magnetic plate and the second magnetic plate through which a voltage is applied, the voltage generating a signal that is responsive to a task performed on a mobile device, the signal providing a haptic effect to the first magnetic plate and the second magnetic plate upon sliding of the first magnetic plate relative to the second magnetic plate.

A hinge of a device is provided that serves as a radiator. The hinge includes first and second conductive pin elements. The opposite ends of the first and second conductive pin elements are configured to mechanically engage the device. The hinge also includes an insulator between portions of the first and second conductive pin elements. The end of at least the first conductive pin element is also configured to be in electrical communication with radio frequency circuitry of the device such that the first conductive pin element functions as the radiator.

Hinge that serves as a radiator

A method of fabricating the body of the portable electronic device as well as the resulting portable electronic device and its body are provided to facilitate the transmission of radio frequency signals through the body of the portable electronic device. In the context of a method, at least one aperture and, in some instances, a plurality of apertures are defined by laser perforation through a conductive portion of the body of the portable electronic device. The method may also anodize the conductive portion including at least partially filling the at least one aperture with an anodization layer. As such, the conductive portion of the body of the portable electronic device has a relatively consistent, metallic appearance, even though laser perforation apertures are defined therein for supporting the transmission of radio frequency signals.

Portable electronic device body having laser perforation apertures and associated fabrication method

A method of fabricating at least a portion of the body of an apparatus, such as a portable electronic device, that includes both plastic and conductive parts is provided with the body appearing relatively seamless such that the interface between the plastic and conductive parts is indistinguishable. In this regard, a plastic part may be combined with a conductive part to form at least a portion of the body of the portable electronic device. The surfaces of the plastic part and the conductive part may be metallized, such as by being subjected to vapor deposition, to metalize the surfaces of the plastic and conductive parts. The metalized surfaces of the plastic and conductive parts may then be anodized, thereby producing at least a portion of the body of a portable electronic device having plastic and conductive parts with a consistent appearance and a consistent tactile response.

Metallization and anodization of plastic and conductive parts of the body of an apparatus

In some example embodiments, a battery described herein includes a plurality of foldable cells, that when folded takes the form of an asymmetric battery that can utilize available space within a portable electronic device and further is configured to present a curved form factor. In some example embodiments, the apparatus includes a first set of cells and a second set of cells. The first set of cells and the second set of cells are disposed on a sheet that is foldable such that the first set of cells and the second set of cells form a folded battery configuration.

Battery pack

An apparatus comprising: a first interconnector portion configured to fasten to a side part of a first housing portion of a portable apparatus, and a second interconnector portion rigidly connected to the first interconnector portion and configured to fasten to a second housing portion of the portable apparatus.
