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.
