Publication number: 20240113774Abstract: A first data connector for communicating data with a second data connector includes a data communication interface including adjacent radiofrequency antenna elements, wherein a plurality of the adjacent radiofrequency antenna elements forms a radiofrequency data antenna array and another radiofrequency antenna element of the adjacent radiofrequency antenna elements forms a radiofrequency control channel antenna element, each radiofrequency antenna element of the radiofrequency data antenna array being configured to communicate a subchannel signal of the data to a corresponding radiofrequency data antenna element of a data communication interface of the second data connector bidirectionally. The radiofrequency control channel antenna element is configured to manage data communications through the radiofrequency data antenna array. An attachment interface is positioned on the first data connector and configured to removably attach the first data connector to the second data connector.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 30, 2022Publication date: April 4, 2024Inventors: Marc HARPER, Apoorva SHARMA, Daniel DHONDT

Publication number: 20230363504Abstract: The description relates to devices, such as user-serviceable devices. One example can include a chassis defining a cavity accessible through a rear side and a rear cover positioned against the chassis over the rear side. The device can be configured to allow movement between the rear cover and the chassis substantially parallel to the rear side to lock the rear cover against the chassis and to allow movement in an opposite direction to unlock the rear cover and further configured to impart a biasing force on the rear cover substantially perpendicular to the rear side. The device can also include a release that can be engaged through the chassis to cause the movement of the rear cover in the opposite direction to unlock the rear cover and allow the biasing force to move the rear cover substantially perpendicularly to the rear side away from the chassis.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 10, 2022Publication date: November 16, 2023Applicant: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Casey ZELIG, Ryan EYLANDER, Daniel DHONDT

Publication number: 20230299614Abstract: A wireless charging system for a planar wireless accessory includes a receiving coil positioned within the planar wireless accessory and a transmitting coil positioned within a planar electronic device. The transmitting coil generates a magnetic flux that is received by the receiving coil to charge a battery of the planar wireless accessory when the planar wireless accessory is positioned relative to the planar electronic device according to a select charging configuration of multiple user-selectable charging configurations. The transmitting coil and the receiving coil are shaped and positioned to charge the battery at a substantially uniform rate at each different one of the multiple user-selectable charging configurations.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 17, 2022Publication date: September 21, 2023Inventors: Hanming ZU, Daniel DHONDT, Casey CALLAN, Xin HUANG

Publication number: 20230034612Abstract: A hinge system has a first body and a second body rotatably connected to one another around a first pivot point. The second body has a top surface and bottom surface positioned opposite one another in a vertical direction of the second body. A translation mechanism is connected to the second body and the first pivot point to displace the first pivot point in the vertical direction relative to the second body.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 28, 2020Publication date: February 2, 2023Inventors: Anthony E. HILLYERD, Christina Ashley YEE, Aseem SINGLA, Robyn Rebecca Reed MCLAUGHLIN, Kaitlyn Marley SCHOECK, Hua WANG, Daniel DHONDT, Brian David BITZ, Joseph Benjamin GAULT
