Example embodiments described in this disclosure are generally directed to a mounting bracket for deployment in a vehicle. In one embodiment, a multilayer mounting bracket includes a first layer made of a dual-conductive polymer and a second layer made of a polymer that includes an endothermic blowing agent. The dual-conductive polymer includes carbon material that renders the first layer electrically conductive and also includes graphite material that renders the first layer thermally conductive. The endothermic blowing agent renders the second layer thermally insulative. An electronic module such as an engine controller can be mounted upon the first layer, which operates as a heat sink to dissipate heat generated by the electronic module and also operates as an electromagnetic interference (EMI) shield. The second layer prevents heat from being transferred from the first layer into another electronic module that may be mounted upon the mounting bracket.

Mounting bracket having electrical and thermal properties

In some aspects, a portable electronic device, having a rear housing, an upper housing coupled to the rear housing and slideable relative thereto between a closed position and an open position, an antenna, and at least one element coupled to the antenna and configured to perform at least one of inhibiting low frequency shift and increasing high frequency sensitivity of the antenna.

Portable electronic device having at least one of resonator and shield

In some aspects, a portable electronic device is provided having a slidable upper housing movable relative to a lower housing between an open position and a closed position, and a front bezel. The front bezel holds the components of the portable electronic device together and covers up at least some of the fasteners used to attach components of the portable electronic device.

Electronic device including a front bezel operable to secure the device together
