Patent number: 10753773Abstract: A angle detection system, includes a first member pivotally coupled to a second member. An optical cable connecting an optical transmitter provided on the first member and an optical receiver provided on the second member is used by an angle detection engine to determine signal loss of an optical signal provided by the optical transmitter through the optical cable to the optical receiver. The angle detection engine then determines, based on the signal loss, a first angle of the second member relative to the first member. The angle detection engine then performs an instruction based on the first angle.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2017Date of Patent: August 25, 2020Assignee: Dell Products L.P.Inventors: John Trevor Morrison, Jace William Files
