Abstract:
A system for enabling a chassis-coupled modular mobile electronic device includes a thermally conductive chassis, a set of module couplers that couple modules of the modular mobile electronic device to the chassis (both thermally and mechanically), a module communication network configured to enable data transfer between the modules, and a module power network configured to enable power transfer between the modules when the modules are coupled to the chassis.
Abstract:
Examples herein include modules and connections for modules to couple to a computing device. An example module includes a housing comprising an end to couple to a computing device, multiple capacitive pads that each include data contacts to enable data transfer, a power contact pad to provide or receive power, and a ground contact pad to couple to ground. The ground contact pad is larger in size than the power contact pad, and the ground contact pad is positioned closer than the power contact pad to the end of the housing configured to couple to the computing device.
