A sensor arrangement for an electronic device with user input means comprises a sensor. The sensor is adapted to generate an electric field in an area of the user input means and to enable a detection of a change in the electric field. The sensor arrangement further comprises a conductive web. The conductive web is arranged between the sensor and an external surface of the user input means, in order to concentrate the volume of the generated electrical field.

Sensor arrangement comprising a conductive layer

In accordance with an example embodiment of the present invention, an apparatus is provided, comprising: a base element; a key top configured to pivot in relation to the base element; a first electrode coupled with the key top; a second electrode coupled with the base element; an isolating layer; the key top having a first pivoted position in which the first electrode, the second electrode, and the isolating layer form a capacitor with a first capacitance, and a second pivoted position in which the first electrode, the second electrode, and the isolating layer form a capacitor with a second capacitance.

Apparatus and method for an actuator in an electronic device

A hinge arrangement including a living hinge adapted to movably connect two members to each other; and at least one plate spring adapted to connect to the two members. When the two members are in a folded position, the living hinge has a general 'U' shape and the plate spring has a general 'U' shape aligned with and generally overlapping the general &#x201c;U&#x201d; shape of the living hinge.
