Abstract:
1. An audio adapter for providing a communications link between a first device which comprises at least a source of electronic audio signals and a second device which comprises at least a destination for electronic audio signals, the audio adapter comprising: means for converting between digital electrical signals and analog electrical signals; and means for exchanging the analog electrical signals with the second device over a physical link; characterized by: means for communicating EHF signals contactlessly with the first device over an anisotropic physical path through a dielectric medium, and for converting between EHF signals and digital electrical signals, wherein the anisotropic physical path through the dielectric medium is further characterized by a point-to-point contactless communications scheme that has an effective range on the order of one centimeter when the dielectric medium is air.
