Shield for use with a computing device that receives an inductive signal transmission
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A computing device comprising:
- a housing;
a set of components for enabling receipt of an inductive signal transmitted from another device, the set of components being at least partially contained within the housing; and
an inductive shield positioned near or adjacent to an exterior surface of the housing to shield one or more electrical elements within the housing from a magnetic flux that is provided in connection with the signal transmitted from the other device, wherein the inductive shield is formed to have low magnetic reluctance.

21. A computer system comprising:
-
a pair of computing devices, each device in the pair including one or more magnetic coils to enable that computing device to transmit or receive an inductive signal from another device in the pair; wherein at least one of the computing devices in the pair includes an inductive shield to protect one or more electrical elements of that device from a magnetic flux, the magnetic flux being provided with transmission of an inductive signal from that device, or reception of the inductive signal on that device; and wherein the inductive shield is formed to have low magnetic reluctance. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24)
