  • Patent number: 8534347
    Abstract: A connector system is provided. The system includes a substantially circular interconnecting hub, and a plurality of circuit board bays configured substantially radially around the substantially circular interconnecting hub. Each circuit board bay has a plurality of aligned connectors configured to receive a circuit board. The interconnecting circuit hub has, for each individual circuit board bay, a direct data pathway connecting the individual circuit board bay to all remaining circuit board bays of the plurality of circuit board bays. Each of the plurality of circuit board bays can directly communicate through the interconnecting hub with each of the remaining circuit boards bays.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7497734
    Abstract: A connector is provided. A plurality of parallel pins is mounted in a connector. A circuit board is connected to the connector. Some of the pins are configured to communicate signals from the circuit board and others of the pins are configured to communicate corresponding signal grounds from the circuit board. The pins are organized on the connector such that at least two out of every three of the pins that are configured to communicate signals do not have any neighboring aggressor pins.
