The glasses also comprise electronics that are coupled to the fiber reinforced structure, wherein the electronics are configured to facilitate presentment of imagery onto a lens of the glasses.

A polyamide molding material is proposed, which comprises at least one partially crystalline, partially aromatic polyamide (A) and at least one amorphous polyamide (B). The polyamides (A) and (B) together make up 30-60 wt.-% of the polyamide molding material. Furthermore, the polyamide molding material comprises 40-70 wt.-% glass fibers (C) having flat cross section, 0-15 wt.-% of at least one nonhalogenated flame retardant (D), and 0-10 wt.-% further additives (E), the components (A) to (E) adding up to 100 wt.-% of the polyamide molding material. The at least one partially crystalline, partially aromatic polyamide (A) has a glass transition temperature of at least 105° C. The polyamide molding material according to the invention is preferably distinguished in an injection-molding burr formation test in that, at a melt temperature of 320° C. and a tool temperature of 90° C., and a dynamic pressure of 100 bar and a holding pressure of 400 bar, at the flow path end of a mold arm having a vent gap dimension of 30 μm, burrs having a length G of at most 30 μm result. Such a polyamide molding material results in molded parts having good surface quality and low warpage when injection molded and is suitable for the production of housings or housing parts of electrical and electronic devices.

The present invention discloses a method of manufacturing a housing and an electronic device. The method comprises the following steps: preparing a mold according to a predetermined shape of the housing, wherein the mold comprises at least one moving die and at least one fixed die, a first texture structure is formed on the inner surface of the mold, and the first texture structure comprises a plurality of projections arranged in a first arrangement, and a groove recesses inwardly is formed between any two adjacent projections, and the groove is formed by etching and removing a part of the moving die and/or the fixed die by the laser engraving method; closing the moving die and the fixed die, and heating the mold to a predetermined mold temperature; and injecting a raw material in a melting state into the mold cavity of the mold; retaining a pressure of the raw material in the mold cavity of the mold; cooling the mold; opening the mold to complete the housing. The housing made of the first material exhibits a second material effect in visual and/or tactile senses.

A probe assembly and a method of manufacturing a probe assembly. In one aspect there is a method of manufacturing a probe assembly comprising providing an electrode carrier carrying a plurality of electrodes, the electrode carrier comprising a top wherein the plurality of electrodes are exposed relative to the top and a bottom having a plurality of electrical contacts in electrical communication with the plurality of electrodes respectively; moulding a body around the electrode carrier to retain the electrode carrier whilst leaving the plurality of electrodes exposed. The invention also extends to a biomass monitoring system comprising a flexible enclosure including a probe assembly and support arrangement for receipt of the probe assembly in an engaged configuration.

A portable computing device is disclosed. The portable computing device includes a retention member that provides a force to a flexible circuit disposed in a top portion and a bottom portion of the portable computing device. The retention member limits movement of the flexible circuit when, for example, the flexible circuit receives a force in response to the top portion pivoting with respect to the bottom portion. The bottom portion of the portable computing devices includes a bottom case having multiple terraced regions. The terraced regions allow the bottom portion to receive additional internal components, such as one or more battery packs, a main logic board, and/or one or more speaker modules. The battery packs are secured to the terraced region via adhesive rings. Although the terraced regions require additional material removed from the bottom case, the internal components secured to the bottom case provide structural support.
