Electronic device
An electronic device comprising: a substrate having a curved surface, a printed circuit board, and plural flexible wiring substrates, each of two of the plural flexible substrates has a terminal portion that is connected to the curved surface, the printed circuit board has a cutout between the two flexible wiring substrates.
Modular Deformable Platform
A modular deformable electronics platform is attachable to a deformable surface, such as skin. The platform is tolerant to surface deformation and motion, can flex in and out of a plane of the platform without hindering operability of electrical components included on the platform, and is formed via arrangement of discrete flexible tiles, with corners of adjacent tiles connected by a flexible connection material so that individual tiles can translate and rotate relative to each other. Interconnects disposed on bases of separate tiles electrically connect adjacent tiles via their connected corners, and electrically connect components disposed on different tiles. Each pair of adjacent corner connections defines an axis about which at least a portion of the platform can flex without deformation and without hindering connections between tiles. The flexible material and/or bases of the tiles can include Parylene.
ELECTRONIC CONTROL DEVICE
A wiring board (3) has first and second rigid sections (11, 12) each having six metal leaf layers, and a flexible section (13) having two metal leaf layers that connect the both rigid sections (11, 12).

Mutually-independent two control systems are arranged so as to be symmetrical about a board center line (M). Detection signal lines (51) of rotation sensors (37, 38) located at the middle of the first rigid section (11) extend along the board center line (M) on the flexible section (13). Each of the two control systems is configured along a wiring direction of the detection signal lines (51).
Portable speaker system
A portable audio input/output device may include one or more openings that extend through a cover of the device and allow acoustic signals outside a housing of the device to reach a microphone disposed within the housing. The opening(s) may be illuminated by a light guide disposed within the housing, which scatters light emitted from lights disposed within the housing. In some instances, a hole may pass through a printed circuit board to allow acoustic signals to be received by the microphone disposed below the printed circuit board. An input/output (I/O) interface module with multiple buttons and inputs may be installed in the hole. The multiple buttons and I/O ports of the I/O interface module may be aligned along an axis vertical relative to the housing and centered with respect to each other.
