Abstract:
A heat-dissipating wireless communication system for a computer device comprises an antenna configured for wireless communications, the antenna configured to dissipate heat generated by the computer device.
Abstract:
An electronic device has a display in which the casing of the display includes a plurality of recessed cavities into which radio and antenna modules can be inserted to provide the electronic device with a wireless communication capability. The display can have cavities for one or more radios and one or more antenna modules. A radio electrically connects to one or more antenna modules via conductor(s) contained within the display and connects to the host electronic device via a serial bus (e.g., USB). Accordingly, the display can have a plurality of radio/antenna combinations thereby concurrently providing the electronic device with multiple wireless communication capabilities.
Abstract:
A wireless communication system comprising a radio module. The radio module comprises a radio transceiver and an antenna electrically coupled to the radio transceiver. The radio module may also comprise an electromagnetic shield disposed relative to the antenna to enable the antenna to transmit a radio signal to a location external to the electrical device without electromagnetic interference from within the electrical device.
Abstract:
A system of one embodiment comprises a first component; and a second component that, when in a first state, restricts physical access of the first component by a user, and when the second component is in a second state the second component permits physical access of the first component by the user. The system further comprises logic that, responsive to the second component transitioning from the first state to the second state, triggers disabling of at least one function of the system while permitting at least a second function of the system to remain enabled. In certain embodiments, the first component comprises a subscriber identity module (SIM), and wireless communication is disabled responsive to the second component transitioning to the second state.

Abstract:
Embodiments of devices and methods employ usage mode based antenna selection. One disclosed method embodiment comprises determining a usage mode of a device, and selecting a subset of the available antennas in the device. The subset that is selected corresponds to the usage mode.
Abstract:
A portable computing device antenna identification system comprises an antenna configured to be disposed in the portable computing device, the antenna having a sensor connector uniquely configured to transmit a signal indicative of an identity of the antenna.
Abstract:
A wireless communications validation system comprises a validation module configured to determine an identity of an antenna disposed in a computer system and an identity of a wireless module disposed in the computer system, the validation module configured to validate permissible combination of the antenna with the wireless module.
Abstract:
A portable electronic device, including a base mechanically coupled to a display enclosure with a hinge, is built including latches on the display enclosure configured to mechanically lock the display enclosure to the base when the display is closed. The latches are permanently coupled to the display enclosure and are electrically coupled to a wireless network circuit in such a manner as to act as an RF antenna for the wireless network.
