Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Technologies are described herein for a conductive magnetic coupling system. The system includes a signal supply component that provides electrical and/or data signals to a signal consumption component that utilizes the signal to provide an output. The two components are magnetically coupled together such that the magnetic coupling mechanisms not only provide the bonding mechanism for securing the components to one another, but also provide the electrical and communicative continuity that allows for the transfer of electrical and/or data signals between the two components. Aspects provide for the repositioning of the signal consumption component along any section of a signal supply component configured as a magnetic track system. Aspects further provide for a flexible, fluid impermeable signal supply component in which a signal consumption component is repositionable along its length.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A light emitting diode (LED)-based light fixture, comprising: a track system including at least two electrically conductive tracks; a track holder for securing the at least two electrically conductive tracks to a base; a slidable LED assembly comprising at least two magnetic couplers, wherein the at least two magnetic couplers of the slidable LED assembly slide along a length of the at least two electrically conductive tracks while maintaining power to t…
