Patent ID: 7187556

Claim:
A power distribution system comprising: a first printed circuit board a second printed circuit board mounted on the first printed circuit board, the second printed circuit board including a capacitive coupler; a power supply mounted on the first printed circuit board; a 64 bit processor mounted on the second printed circuit board, the 64 bit processor spaced remotely from the power supply; and a flexible cable connector comprising a first end and a second end, the first end electrically connected to the processor via the capacitive coupler of the second printed circuit board and the second end electrically connected to the power supply, the flexible connector configured with a length to cause the remote spacing of the power supply relative to the 64 bit processor, the flexible connector extending between the power supply and the 64 bit processor independent of the first printed circuit board with the flexible connector including: a plurality of insulated power wires arranged generally parallel to each other extending from the first end to the second end of the flexible cable connector; and a ground structure including a ground shield that surrounds the plurality of insulated power wires and extends from the first end to the second end of the flexible cable connector, with the ground structure configured to provide a return path for current between the 64 bit processor and the power supply.
