The present disclosure provides systems, methods, and devices for producing an interconnect. An electronic device of the present disclosure includes a deformable substrate including a circuit. The circuit includes a channel extending from a first portion of the deformable substrate to a second portion of the deformable substrate. A first circuit component is adjacent to the first portion of the deformable substrate. A second circuit component is adjacent to the second portion of the deformable substrate. A first metal material is formed overlaying a first portion of the deformable substrate including a first portion of the channel. A second metal material interfaces with the first metal material, thereby substantially occupying an interior volume of the channel.

Systems, methods, and devices for producing interconnects on deformable substrates of electronic devices

Systems and methods of controlling activation of different input elements using an actuator are disclosed herein. An example method includes in response to detecting that a representation of a finger is located by a first input element: obtaining information regarding a first amount of force to actuate the first input element, and causing adjustment of a physical characteristic of an actuator so that a first amount of force directed to a component of the actuator activates the first input element. In response to detecting that the representation of the finger is located by a second input element, the method also includes: obtaining information regarding a second amount of force distinct from the first amount of force, and causing adjustment of the physical characteristic of the actuator so that the second amount of force directed to the component of the actuator activates the second input element.

Systems and methods of controlling activation of physical or virtual keyboard keys using an adjustable electrostatically-controlled actuator, and methods of manufacturing electrostatically-controlled actuators for use therewith

Disclosed apparatus may include a membrane, a first electrode supported by the membrane, a second electrode, and optionally a controller configured to control an electrical potential applied between the first electrode and the second electrode. Example apparatus may include one or more flexible membranes that may, at least in part, define an enclosure that is at least partially filled with a dielectric fluid. A flexible membrane may include a functionalized polymer or inorganic dielectric material, such as a fluoropolymer composite including at least one electrically conductive additive and/or at least one toughener. Examples also include associated materials (e.g., polymers), methods of fabrication, methods of apparatus operation, and systems.
