1. A computer system, comprising:
- an adapter that has a first primary inductive connector that is adapted to provide power at a power frequency, and a second secondary inductive connector that receives a first signal at a secondary signal voltage;
a computer that has a first secondary inductive connector that is adapted to receive said power from said first primary inductive connector at a secondary power voltage when said computer is adjacent to said adapter, said computer further having a second primary inductive connector adapted to provide said first signal to said second secondary inductive connector of said adapter;
first feedback means for controlling and maintaining a level of said power supplied by said first primary inductive connector as a function of said secondary power voltage received by said first secondary inductive connector by generating a first feedback signal which is transmitted from said first secondary inductive connector to said first primary inductive connector;
second feedback means for controlling and maintaining a level of said first signal supplied by said second primary inductive connector as a function of said secondary signal voltage received by said second secondary inductive connector by generating a second feedback signal that is transmitted from said second secondary inductive connector to said second primary inductive connector; and
,filter means for filtering said power frequency from said first and second feedback signals transmitted to said first and second primary inductive connectors.

Abstract
A computer that can be electrically coupled to an adapter with wireless inductive connectors. The adapter has a first primary inductive connector that provides power and a second secondary inductive connector that receives digital signals. The computer has a first secondary inductive connector that can receive power and a second primary inductive connector that provides digital signals. The connectors are located within the adapter and computer, so that when the computer is placed adjacent to the adapter, the inductive connectors became electrically coupled.
