Embodiment Construction

[0024] An electronic device may include several components that fit together to form the internal and external characteristics of the device. For example, one or more internal components (eg, electronic circuits) may be placed within external components (eg, housings) to provide a device with the required functionality. The various assemblies can be manufactured using several methods including, for example, assembling and connecting the various elements together. In some cases, the outer housing assembly can be constructed by assembling several elements together to form a unitary assembly.

[0025] figure 1 is a schematic diagram of an illustrative peripheral component constructed by joining together several elements according to one embodiment of the invention. The peripheral member 100 may be configured to form an outer surface of an electronic device. In particular, peripheral member 100 may surround or surround some or all of the electronic components such that periphe...

Abstract

The invention relates to an electronic equipment assembly and a correlation method, capable of providing the decorative ornaments on the assembly for connecting a plurality of elements. Such as a mechanical processing or grinding single manufacture technology can be used in the connected element and some or all material from the elements is removed to form a smooth continuous surface of an interface spanning each element of the assembly. In some cases, the setting of the material removing process can be adjusted based on the material of the assembly element. For example, the setting can be adjusted based on the manufacture or mechanical feature of each kind of the element material.
