Sep 30, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/570972
Inventors:
Todd F. Gotham - Campbell CA, US
Shin Nishibori - Portola Valley CA, US
Christopher J. Stringer - Woodside CA, US
Michael McBroom - Leonard TX, US
Daniel McBroom - Leonard TX, US
Brian Sudderth - Leonard TX, US
John Ternus - Redwood City CA, US
Assignee:
Apple Inc. - Cupertino CA
International Classification:
G06F 1/16
US Classification:
36167921, 345174, 438455, 381 87, 349158
Abstract:
A display cover to housing interface system includes a display screen fronted by a display cover having front and obverse faces and a distal edge between the faces around a circumference thereof (i. e. , edge thickness), and also an outer housing that provides support for the display cover. A portion of the display cover distal edge or thickness is fully exposed to outside, such that the display cover is exposed and substantially visible when viewed directly from the front and at least one side while installed. The display cover can be glass, while the housing is metal. A protective layer located between the housing and display cover protects the display cover from the housing. Various support components hold the display cover in place, and can include magnets and/or a stabilizer assembly affixed along a bottom edge of the display cover and adapted to couple to a bottom chin of the housing.

Optical Scanning System And Integrated Optics Module Therefor

View page
US Patent:
20030047608, Mar 13, 2003
Filed:
Sep 12, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/953553
Inventors:
Paul Huss - Rosewood OR, US
Jorge Acosta - Eugene OR, US
Christopher Sautter - Porland OR, US
Todd Gotham - Sunnyvale CA, US
Elmer Thielman - Eugene OR, US
Assignee:
PSC Scanning, Inc.
International Classification:
G06K007/10
G06K007/14
US Classification:
235/454000
Abstract:
An integrated optics module for an optical scanning system that includes a scanning mechanism that generates a scan pattern from a laser beam is provided. The module includes an optics block, a laser mounted on the optics block, routing optics mounted on the optics block in the path of the laser beam emitted from the laser, a collection lens disposed on a surface of the optics block, and mounting fixtures configured to mount the optics module to the scanner housing in a fixed position. The routing optics are configured to route the laser beam through the collection lens toward the scanning mechanism when the module is mounted in the scanner system. If the laser beam routed through the collection lens is pre-aligned, no additional scanner system optical alignment is required when the optics module is mounted into the scanner housing.

Magnetic-Based Visual Display Cover Arrangement

US Patent:
20090027583, Jan 29, 2009
Filed:
Jul 27, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/829845
Inventors:
Michael David McBroom - Celeste TX, US
Daniel McBroom - Leonard TX, US
Brian Thomas Sudderth - Leonard TX, US
John Patrick Ternus - Redwood City CA, US
Todd Gotham - Campbell CA, US
Andrew Lauder - Santa Clara CA, US
International Classification:
G02F 1/13
G06F 1/16
US Classification:
349 58
Abstract:
A display housing for housing a display monitor is provided. The display housing includes an enclosure for enclosing at least a portion of the display monitor. The enclosure is non-ferrous and has a first side and a first magnetically attractable assembly coupled to the enclosure. The display housing also includes a non-opaque screen having a second side and a second magnetically attractable assembly coupled to the non-opaque screen such that when the second side of the non-opaque screen is mated with the first side of the enclosure, a magnetic attraction force is created between the first magnetically attractable assembly and the second magnetically attractable assembly. The first magnetically attractable assembly and the second magnetically attractable assembly are configured such that the magnetic attraction force is sufficiently strong to hold the non-opaque screen to the enclosure during use.

H01S 4/00
US Classification:
361681, 295921, 361679
Abstract:
Electronic devices are provided with a protective housing having one or more housing components. A housing component can be formed from a single sheet of material to appear as if the housing component had been formed from a hollowed out solid block of material. The sheet of material may be deep drawn, forged, and machined to form the housing component. One or more holes may be formed through a portion of the housing component to provide an I/O interface.

Internal Connection Retention Components For Computing Devices

View page
US Patent:
20130077234, Mar 28, 2013
Filed:
Sep 23, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/244123
Inventors:
Houtan R. FARAHANI - San Ramon CA, US
George V. ANASTAS - San Carlos CA, US
Larry A. BARHAM - Fremont CA, US
Todd F. GOTHAM - Campbell CA, US
Min C. KIM - San Jose CA, US
George M. SIMMEL - Cupertino CA, US
Gregory A. SPRINGER - Sunnyvale CA, US
Assignee:
APPLE INC. - Cupertino CA
International Classification:
H05K 7/00
US Classification:
36167955
Abstract:
A computing device includes a Mini DisplayPort or other standardized plug and port connection that is fully internalized within the full device housing. The port can be affixed or coupled to a printed circuit board, with a display cable having a mating plug that is plugged into the port. To prevent the inadvertent uncoupling of the plug from the port, one or more clips, clamps, fixtures, or other cable retention components can hold the cable and/or plug in place at or near where the plug inserts into the Mini DisplayPort or other standardized communication port. Added stability to the cable can also be provided at or near such location.

Camera Battery Control Method For Low Ambient Temperatures

View page
US Patent:
20190158742, May 23, 2019
Filed:
Dec 27, 2018
Appl. No.:
16/233491
Inventors:
- San Mateo CA, US
Ihab A. Ali - Cupertino CA, US
Todd Gotham - Los Altos CA, US
International Classification:
H04N 5/232
H04N 1/00
Abstract:
A camera system includes a lens assembly and image processing electronics internal to the camera housing and thermally coupled to the battery assembly. The battery assembly is sensitive to low ambient temperatures and may become damaged if the temperature of the assembly becomes sufficiently low. The camera system comprises a thermal management system that dissipates heat from electronic components of the camera to increase or maintain the temperature of the battery assembly. The thermal management configures the electronic components in different modes to create a step-wise increase of the resistive heat generated in the camera system and thereby increase the temperature of the components in the camera system.
