  • Expandable audio visual adapter module with multi-port voltage and power management circuitry
    Patent number: 10468842
    Abstract: A USB Type-C audio-visual adapter system includes a base module and an expansion module. The base module has a first housing with a first face and a second face, where the first face includes USB and A/V connectors and the second face includes a first expansion connector. The second face is offset inwardly from an edge of the first housing defined by a lip extending about the second face. The expansion module has a second housing with a first face that includes a second expansion connector, where the first face of the second housing is configured to be received within a recessed area formed by the lip of first housing to facilitate mechanical and electrical coupling of the first and second expansion connectors.

  • Devices and methods for modular optical cabling systems
    Patent number: 9564971
    Abstract: A modular optical cabling system converts and transmits digital electronic signals from a source such as a computer to any suitable target device such as a display or a projector through an optical backbone. A modular transmitting unit connects the source to a modular optical cable and converts the digital electrical signals to optical signals. A modular receiving unit receiver connects the modular optical cable to the target device and converts the optical signals to digital electrical signals. A directional modular optical cable connects between the transmitter unit and the receiver unit.
