An electronic device can include a housing defining an aperture and a display assembly at least partially positioned in the aperture. The display assembly can include a substrate having a conductive portion, a display layer having pixels, a touch sensitive layer positioned on a first side of the substrate, an operational component positioned on a second side of the substrate opposite the first side, and a flexible electrical connector electrically coupled with the conductive portion and the operational component. The flexible electrical connector can include an electromagnetic antenna. A transparent cover can overlay the display assembly and can be secured to the housing.

Electronic device structure with housing

An electronic device includes a housing sidewall defining an opening and a display component, such as a display cover, disposed in the opening to form a gap between the housing sidewall and the display component. In at least one example, the cavity is defined by the sidewall and the display cover with the cavity in fluid communication with an external environment through the gap. In at least one example, an epoxy component at least partially defines the cavity and can be in direct contact with the housing sidewall.

Electronic device

Housings for electronic devices are disclosed, as well as electronic devices including the housings. A wireless communication system of the electronic device may include an antenna element within a display assembly. The antenna element within the display assembly may be operatively coupled to a conductive upper portion of the housing. The housing may define a slot between the conductive upper portion and a conductive lower portion of the housing, and a dielectric material may be positioned within the slot.

Portable electronic device having integrated antenna elements

Electronic device display and housing assembly

An electronic device can include a housing at least partially defining an internal volume and an exterior surface of the electronic device. The electronic device can also include a display assembly including a display layer, a substrate disposed below the display layer, and a substantially continuous sheet of conductive material disposed on the substrate, the sheet of conductive material covering substantially an entire surface of the substrate. A transparent cover can overlie the display assembly and can be affixed to the housing.

Display for an electronic device

An electronic device may include a rear housing wall, antenna resonating element, coil, sensor board, and antenna grounding ring structures. The coil may receive wireless charging signals through the grounding ring structures and the rear housing wall. The grounding ring structures may include concentric ring-shaped traces. The ring-shaped traces may be separated by at least one gap. The ring-shaped traces and the gaps may configure the grounding ring structures to short antenna currents at relatively high frequencies from the antenna resonating element to a ground trace on the sensor board while blocking currents at relatively low frequencies. This may allow the ground trace to form part of an antenna without substantially impairing wireless charging efficiency of the coil.

Electronic devices having antenna grounding rings

An electronic device may include an antenna element, coil, sensor board, and grounding ring structures. The coil may receive wireless charging signals through the grounding ring structures. The grounding ring structures may include concentric ring-shaped traces separated by at least one gap. The ring-shaped traces and gaps may configure the grounding ring structures to short antenna currents at relatively high frequencies from the antenna element to a ground trace on the sensor board while blocking currents at relatively low frequencies. The grounding ring structures may include conductive wings that increase capacitive coupling between the grounding ring structures and the antenna element. The grounding ring structures may be soldered to the antenna element. The antenna element and the grounding ring structures may be formed from traces patterned on the same substrate. The ground trace may form part of an antenna without substantially impairing wireless charging efficiency of the coil.

Electronic devices having extended antenna grounding rings

A device can receive configuration information associated with a set of channels to be provided as part of an Internet protocol television (IPTV) service. The device can receive information associated with a set of channel categories after receiving the configuration information associated with the set of channels. The device can receive information associated with a set of channel lineups after receiving the information associated with the set of channel categories. The device can receive information associated with a user device that is associated with the IPTV service. The device can generate, based on the information associated with the user device and the channel configuration information, a custom channel lineup using the information associated with the set of channel lineups. The device can provide, to the user device, the custom channel lineup to permit the user device to provide, for display, information associated with the custom channel lineup.

Content onboarding and custom channel lineup provisioning

A device can receive, via a single interface of a device, information identifying video content to be targeted to user devices associated with an Internet protocol television (IPTV) service. The device can receive, via the single interface of the device, configuration information relating to the video content. The device can store the information identifying the video content in association with the configuration information. The device can receive information associated with a user device of the set of user devices. The device can generate, using the information identifying video content and the configuration information, targeted information relating to the video content based on the information associated with the user device. The device can provide, to the user device, the targeted information relating to the video content to permit the user device to provide, for display, the targeted information relating to the video content in association with the IPTV service.

Targeted content delivery

Systems and methods are presented for evaluating and incorporating a plurality of input streams into a single input stream. In some embodiments, the system generates a first set of recommendations provided by a plurality of input streams and receives one or more selections of recommendations from the first set of input streams. The system determines a session intent based on the one or more selections and selects a set of input streams, from the plurality of input streams, corresponding to the one or more selection and the session intent. The system generates a second set of recommendations using the set of input streams and the session intent and causes presentation of the second set of recommendations on a user interface of a user device.

The present disclosure sets forth a safety device for scaffolding so that workmen can climb up or down on the exterior of the scaffolding in safety. The apparatus includes an outwardly extending curving davit having an elevated and radially outwardly extending end supporting, at an eyelet, a fall arrester. The fall arrester is anchored with a hook and an eyelet and has an elongate cable of adequate length extending down to a hook connecting with a D-ring on a body harness for a user. If the user falls, the fall arrester sets a brake preventing the cable from extending, thereby interrupting the fall of the workman.

A method for typographic design of a printed document utilizing typographical parameters designed by an expert typographer is provided. A standard body of text is executed in a standard font and a selected format by an expert design typographer to provide maximized readability of the standard body of text and to determine a set of reference parameters associated with that selected format. Utilizing the reference parameters in a computer program, an unskilled user may then execute a desired body of text in a desired font in the selected format to produce a printed document having substantially equal readability. The program allows a reader to switch between typefaces to produce printed documents having substantially equal copyfit in different typefaces. The computer program provides a method of comparing typefaces to establish allowed pairs of typefaces for heading and accent alternatives allowing a user to customize design documents with the parameter influencing text readability and copyfit automatically adjusted.
