International Classification:

G06F 1/16

US Classification:

361686, 348730, 725139

Abstract:

A mobile information handling system (IHS) docking apparatus includes a base having a display device. An IHS docking connector is located on the base.

Appl. No.:

11/458130

Inventors:

Bruce Montag - Austin TX, US

Assignee:

Dell Products L.P. - Round Rock TX

International Classification:

G06F 3/00
G06F 13/12
G06F 13/38

US Classification:

710 7, 710 30, 710 62, 710 69

Abstract:

Videoconferencing through an information handling system is supported with a display, camera and microphone that communicate with the information handling system through a single cable, such as a DisplayPort cable. Visual information is communicated from the information handling system to the display through a unidirectional main link and display control information is communicated between the information handling system and the display through a bidirectional auxiliary link. Peripheral information, such as digitized audio signals captured by the microphone and packetized video information capture by the camera, are communicated to the information handling system through the auxiliary link. Peripheral commands generated at the information handling system, such as camera control commands, are communicated from the information handling system to the peripheral through the auxiliary link.

Appl. No.:

12/179257

Inventors:

Joe E. Goodart - Austin TX, US
Pratik Mehta - Austin TX, US
Bruce Montag - Austin TX, US

Assignee:

Dell Products L.P. - Round Rock TX

International Classification:

G06F 1/16

US Classification:

36167921

Abstract:

A display system includes a display chassis defining a display chassis housing. A display panel is located in the display chassis housing. A power supply module chassis defines a power supply module housing and is coupled to the display chassis outside of the display chassis housing. A power supply module is located in the power supply module housing and coupled to the display panel. Such display system architecture allows the display chassis to be much thinner than conventional externally connectable display chassis.

International Classification:

H04L 12/28
H04L 12/56
H04N 7/18
H04N 7/16

US Classification:

370389, 370352, 725 78, 725148

Abstract:

DisplayPort micropackets of uncompressed visual information are adapted to conventional network infrastructure with a switch having DisplayPort ports, network ports and a packet converter. The packet converter encapsulates DisplayPort packets for communication through network ports and extracts DisplayPort packets from network packets for communication through DisplayPort ports. An address resolution table associates the switch ports with each other and with a packet converter operation by using a control field that defines the packet converter operation for information received at each port, such as encapsulation, extraction or native switching.

International Classification:

H04L 12/56

US Classification:

370389, 370468, 370438, 370522, 345 12, 345204, 710 62

Abstract:

DisplayPort micropackets of uncompressed visual information are adapted for communication across a network by stuffing packets with sink device identification information. For example, a packet stuffer adds selected portions of sink device EDID information to DisplayPort packets, such as EDID bytes through , to a predetermined portion of the DisplayPort packets, such as between symbols FS and FE. Adding sink device identification information to each DisplayPort packet supports routing or switching of the packets to the identified sink device.

Appl. No.:

11/756053

Inventors:

Bruce Montag - Austin TX, US

Assignee:

Dell Products L.P. - Round Rock TX

International Classification:

G06F 13/14
G06F 15/00
G06T 1/00

US Classification:

345520, 345501

Abstract:

Wireless communication of display information between an information handling system and display is supported by a direct connection between a graphics system of the information handling system and a transceiver of the information handling system. For example, the graphics system outputs pixel level display information through a cable directly to the transceiver. A converter on the transceiver converts the display information to network information, such as from a DisplayPort format to a PCI Express format, so the transceiver can send the display information through a wireless network, such as a personal area network, to the display. A display module located at the transceiver coordinates initiation of communication of display information from the graphics system to the display.

International Classification:

H01Q 3/02

US Classification:

342374

Abstract:

A device includes, in one embodiment, first and second patch antennas. The first patch antenna is disposed at a dielectric substrate, and defines a first principle plane. The second patch antenna is disposed at the dielectric substrate, and defines a second principle plane, an orientation of the second principle plane being different from an orientation of the first principle plane. A switch is coupled to the first patch antenna and to the second patch antenna, the switch to select between operation of the first patch antenna and operation of the second patch antenna.
