Abstract: In one example an electronic device comprises at least one electronic component, a chassis comprising a first section, a connector to connect the first section of the chassis to a second section, the connector comprising a housing defining a first shaft, a retention structure disposed in the shaft, and a plurality of electrical contacts positioned within a corresponding plurality of channels in the retention structure. Other examples may be described.

Abstract: A method and apparatus to reduce emissions by gas membrane separation and liquid carrier chemical absorption. The membrane separation system consists of an absorption system containing ceramic membranes through which is circulated an absorbent carrier. Exhaust gases contact the exterior surface of the membranes and the target gasses permeate the membrane wall and are absorbed by the carrier(s) within the bore and thereby are removed from the exhaust stream. Various exemplary embodiments are described for systems to regenerate the carrier, and systems designed to remove SO2 from the exhaust. One option uses an electrostatic charger to place a charge on the gas particles, while another uses a corona generator. In this aspect, the invention is also an improved electrostatic and corona separator, that uses a carrier liquid separated from the gas stream by a membrane to bear away undesirable particles instead of a deposit or collection plate or collection bag or similar device.

Abstract: A communication system that includes a mobile device configured to dock with an external dock. The mobile device can include a docking interface and a transceiver having one or more antennas. The docking interface can establish a connection with the external dock. The external dock can include one or more antennas that are configured to connect to transceiver via the docking interface when the mobile device is connected to the external dock. The antenna(s) of the mobile device and the antenna(s) of the external dock can cooperatively communicate with one or more communication environments. The antenna(s) of the mobile device and the antenna(s) of the external dock can be configured as a Multiple-input Multiple-output (MIMO) antenna system.
