AUTO DETACHING CONNECTOR FOR ELECTRONIC DEVICES - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240347970 titled 'AUTO DETACHING CONNECTOR FOR ELECTRONIC DEVICES
The abstract describes a connector with a multi-layer peripheral structure that expands when exposed to liquid to disconnect from an electronic component without user intervention.
- The connector includes a housing and a multi-layer peripheral structure.
- The multi-layer peripheral structure encloses one or more pins and expands in response to liquid exposure.
- The multi-layer peripheral structure consists of an outer layer with a permeable material, a middle layer that expands when wet, and an inner layer.
Potential Applications: - This technology could be used in electronic devices that may need to be disconnected quickly in case of liquid exposure. - It could be beneficial in medical devices or equipment that require rapid disconnection in emergency situations.
Problems Solved: - Eliminates the need for manual disconnection in liquid exposure scenarios. - Provides a quick and automatic disconnection mechanism for electronic components.
Benefits: - Enhances the safety of electronic devices in liquid-prone environments. - Reduces the risk of damage to electronic components due to liquid exposure.
Commercial Applications: - The technology could be valuable in the manufacturing of waterproof electronic devices. - It may find applications in industries where liquid exposure is a common risk factor.
Questions about the Technology: 1. How does the multi-layer peripheral structure of the connector respond to liquid exposure? 2. What are the potential implications of this technology in the field of electronic device manufacturing?
Frequently Updated Research: - Stay updated on advancements in materials science related to expanding materials for connectors. - Monitor developments in automatic disconnection mechanisms for electronic components in liquid environments.
Original Abstract Submitted
a connector includes a housing and a multi-layer peripheral structure disposed on the housing. the multi-layer peripheral structure is configured to enclose one or more pins and to expand in response to exposure to a liquid for disconnecting the connector from an electronic component without user intervention. the multi-layer peripheral structure may include an outer layer that may include a permeable material, a middle layer disposed within the outer layer, where the middle layer may include a material that expands when wet, and an inner layer disposed within the middle layer.
