==INTRUSION DETECTION APPARATUS FOR AN INFORMATION HANDLING SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


*This abstract for appeared for US patent application  number 17658162 Titled 'INTRUSION DETECTION APPARATUS FOR AN INFORMATION HANDLING SYSTEM'

==Simplified Explanation==

The abstract describes an intrusion detection apparatus that is used in an information handling system. The apparatus consists of a printed circuit board (PCB) with an electrical switch. The switch has conductive pads on the top layer of the PCB and a conductive ground ring surrounding the pads. There is also a mechanical pin that is connected to a part of the system's chassis. The pin has a conductive gasket at one end. When a foreign conductive object comes into contact with the ground ring, it triggers an intrusion signal to indicate the presence of the object.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

An intrusion detection apparatus, including: a printed circuit board (PCB), including: an electrical switch, the electrical switch including: conductive pads positioned on a top layer of the PCB, and a conductive ground ring positioned on the top layer and surrounding the conductive pads; and a mechanical pin coupled to a first portion of a chassis of the information handling system at a first end of the mechanical pin, the mechanical pin including a conductive gasket positioned at a second end of the mechanical pin, the first end opposite to the second end, wherein the ground ring provides an intrusion signal when a foreign conductive object is in contact with the ground ring to indicate a presence of the foreign conductive object.
