Abstract :
We present a comparison of two technologies for use in implementing a wireless data path. The target environment is a mobile, modular computer system that aims to improve the economics and productivity of users that currently use multiple PCs. An inductive power delivery subsystem is described, and both optical and capacitive data delivery subsystems are compared
