    Abstract: A scalable and compact computer system of three-dimensional subsystems (20-23) each having capacitive couplers (25) of its external surfaces for transmitting and receiving electrical signals to and from adjacent subsystems (20-23). Each surface having an electrically non-conducting substrate, one or more electrically conducting pads on the substrate, and electrical leads for coupling the pads to the subsystem's circuits. Two adjacent pads, each from a different subsystem (20-23), form a capacitive coupler (35) to carry the signals between the subsystems (20-23). The pads are covered by a low-loss dielectric material having a large dielectric constant for improved signal transmission. A differential signal may be supported using two capacitive couplers (25) to respectively carry the positive and negative signals of the differential signal. The subsystems (20-23) might be replaced or left in place when they failed. Additional subsystems (20-23) might be added to the system to expand its capacity.

    Abstract translation: 每个具有其外表面的电容耦合器(25)的三维子系统(20-23)的可缩放和紧凑的计算机系统,用于向相邻子系统(20-23)发送和接收电信号。 每个表面具有非导电衬底,衬底上的一个或多个导电焊盘,以及用于将焊盘耦合到子系统电路的电引线。 来自不同子系统(20-23)的两个相邻的焊盘形成电容耦合器(35),以在子系统(20-23)之间传送信号。 焊盘由具有大介电常数的低损耗介电材料覆盖以改善信号传输。 可以使用两个电容耦合器(25)来支持差分信号,以分别承载差分信号的正和负信号。 子系统(20-23)在故障时可能会更换或保留在原位。 可以向系统添加附加子系统(20-23)以扩展其容量。
