Iperi yamalungelo awodwa omenzi wechiza asanda kupapashwa yi 'I-U.S. Patent kunye ne-Ofisi yophawu lwentengiso'Le veki iqinisekisa ukuqhubeka nokusetyenziswa kwe-Apple kwe-Liquidmetal, onokuyibona apha 9,101,977. Inkampani yeCupertino ayikasebenzisi le teknoloji yeLiquidmetal kuzo naziphi na iimveliso ezinokuthengiswa, kodwa amalungelo awodwa abenzi anjengala acebisa ukuba ingakwenza oko kwixesha elizayo.
Apple yandisa i ilayisensi eyodwa kunye ne-Liquidmetal kude kube ngu-2016, esetyenziswe yiLiquidmetal ukwenza i sim eject isixhobo ye-iPhone, isixhobo esilula kwaye esomeleleyo ngokumangalisayo, kodwa izicelo zelungelo elilodwa lomenzi wechiza ezithe zaphuma namhlanje zibonisa ukuba isebenza ukwenza okungakumbi ngezinto.
Kwi patent, enesihloko "Indlela yokusebenzisa i-pre-alloy core shell shape ukwenza i-alloys ngendlela elawulwayo", (Uxolo inguqulelo), iApple ichaza indlela yokudala i ubunzima beglasi yeglasi yezinto eziphathekayo (BMG) kunye nezinye isinyithi okanye ingxubevange yesinyithi ngenxa dibanisa ezona mpawu zintle zento nganye.
Apple patent icebisa iintlobo ezintathu ezahlukeneyo zokulahla, kubandakanya a I-BMG core ene-casing yentsimbi, kunye nentsimbi yentsimbi kunye ne-a BMG ukutyabeka, kunye nentsimbi ingxubevange / BMG.
Ezi zixhobo zenzelwe ukulwa neengxaki ezikhoyo ezinokuvela xa i-BMG iphoswa, njengokwakheka kweekristale ngaphakathi kwesinyithi xa Amazinga okupholisa akalunganga. Xa oku kusenzeka, izinto eziphathekayo ilahlekelwa zizo zonke iimpawu zayo zomatshini.
I-patent yesibini ye-Apple, enesihloko "Igumbi elibandayo lokuphosa i-alloys e-amorphous kusetyenziswa iindlela ezibandayo zokudibanisa induction induction", iinkcukacha a Indlela yokudibanisa i-BMG usebenzisa i-induction crucible ebandayo.
Amalungelo awodwa omenzi wechiza anzima ukuyiqonda, ekuqaleni kweposti ungaya kwi-patent ngesiNgesi. I-Apple iphonononge amathuba okusebenzisa i-Liquidmetal, kodwa okwangoku siza kuyibona ingena kumgca weemveliso zenkampani. Kodwa kulula ukubona ukuba kutheni iApple inokukhangela ezinye iindlela kwi-aluminium esetyenziswayo namhlanje.
Nangona ineengenelo zayo, Ialuminiyam inokukrweleka kwaye ibotshwe ngokulula, kwaye ube nenye utyekelo lokugoba, njengoko kubonisiwe kwi-iPhone 6 Plus. Nangona kunjalo, iApple iqalile ukusebenzisa i 7000 series aluminiyam, yintoni eninzi yomelele kunealuminiyam eqhelekileyo.
