Waveguide that acts as a spring

摘要

A computing device includes a head that can be physically attached to a base. The head is capable of functioning independent of the base. The base includes a base transceiver to receive data from a first component of the base, encode the data into a signal, and transmit the signal. The base includes a base waveguide to guide the signal to a head waveguide of the head. The base waveguide includes a first portion that is attached to the base and a second portion that is unattached to the base. The second portion of the base waveguide behaves as a spring to keep the base waveguide within a predetermined distance from the head waveguide. The head includes a head transceiver to receive the signal from the head waveguide, decode the data from the signal, and send the data to a second component of the head.

1. A computing device comprising:
a head comprising:
a head transceiver to:
receive data from a first component of the head;encode the data into a signal; andtransmit the signal;a head waveguide to guide the signal; and a base comprising:
a base waveguide to receive the signal from the head waveguide, the base waveguide including a first portion that is attached to the base and a second portion that is unattached to the base, the second portion of the base waveguide behaving as a spring to keep the base waveguide within a predetermined distance from the head waveguide regardless of a position of the head relative to the base.
