Definitions
- Embodiments of the present invention relate generally to computer buses, and in particular, to computer buses that can be placed in different orientations for particular applications.
- a bus is a subsystem for transferring data between computer components of a single computer or between computers. Unlike a point-to- point connection, a bus logically connects several peripherals over the same set of signal lines. In other words, each bus typically comprises a set of signal lines that electronically connect devices, such as a CPU and memory.
- a bus includes an address bus and a data bus. The data bus transfers data whereas the address bus transfers information regarding the physical location of the data or the location of the destination of the data. Buses can be parallel buses, which carry data words in parallel on multiple signal lines, or serial buses, which carry data in bit-serial form. Most computers have both internal and external buses.
- An internal bus is composed of a set of signal lines printed on a circuit board. The internal bus connects the internal components of a computer.
- an external bus connects external peripherals to a circuit board.
- a computer bus includes multiple opto-electronic engines disposed within a housing and multiple flexible connectors. Each flexible connector extends through an opening in the housing and is coupled at a first end to an opto-electronic engine and at a second to an electronic device.
- the flexible connectors enable the bus to be placed in different orientations and positions in order to optimize space and connectivity requirements or limitations It is also the case that components other than flexible connectors, such as formed metal traces or elastomeric conductors, could provide electrical connectivity between OE engine and secondary electrical device..
