Publication number: 20170366045Abstract: Various embodiments of a wirelessly powered local computing environment are described. The wireless powered local computing environment includes at least a near field magnetic resonance (NFMR) power supply arranged to wirelessly provide power to any of a number of suitably configured devices. In the described embodiments, the devices arranged to receive power wirelessly from the NFMR power supply must be located in a region known as the near field that extends no further than a distance D of a few times a characteristic size of the NFMR power supply transmission device. Typically, the distance D can be on the order of 1 meter or so.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 4, 2017Publication date: December 21, 2017Inventors: Brett C. Bilbrey, Michael F. Culbert, Peter M. Arnold, David I. Simon, Mushtaq Sarwar, Richard W. DeVaul

Patent number: 9112327Abstract: A receptacle connector for a electronic device includes two sets of contacts arranged in two opposing rows in a cavity. A corresponding plug connector can be inserted into the receptacle connector so as to contact both sets of contacts. The receptacle connectors includes contacts that are dedicated for DisplayPort signals and contacts that provide non-DisplayPort signals. The contacts dedicated for DisplayPort signals are only enabled if the electronic device receives a notification from a connected accessory that that the accessory supports DisplayPort capability. Otherwise these contacts are in an “open” or deactivated state.Type: GrantFiled: September 7, 2012Date of Patent: August 18, 2015Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Mushtaq Sarwar, Jeffrey J. Terlizzi
