蘋果新專利曝光：Thunderbolt融入iOS設備

        美國專利商標局(以下簡稱“USPTO”)周四公布了蘋果申請的三項新專利，詳細描述了一種稱為Thunderbolt的蘋果革命性輸入/輸出技術。
        蘋果在2011年提交了多份涉及Thunderbolt的商標申請，從而引發了誰真正擁有這個商標和相關技術的疑問。市場普遍認為，Thunderbolt是由英特爾開發的，後來因英特爾與蘋果的技術合作被推向市場。
        除了申請多個Thunderbolt商標外，蘋果提交的多份內容詳盡的專利申請還表明，該公司正努力確保獲得Thunderbolt相關專利。       
        對於普通用戶來說，這些專利帶來的一個好消息便是，蘋果目前專注於未來將Thunderbolt融入iOS設備，以提升數據傳輸速度，而更為重要的是，充電速度會更快。

Abstract

High speed connector inserts and cables having improved heat conduction, high strength, and may be manufactured in a reliable manner. One example may provide a connector insert having several paths by which heat may be removed from circuitry in the cable insert. In one example, heat may be removed from one or more circuits by forming a thermal path between a circuit and a shield of the connector insert. Another path may include one or more pads on a side of an integrated circuit board that are soldered directly to the shield. A braiding surrounding a cable may be soldered or otherwise thermally connected to the shield. Another example may provide a cable having a braiding that includes one or more types of fibers, such as aramid fibers. Another example may provide for increased manufacturability by using a wire comb and a solder bar.
