Apple registra nuevas patentes


Apple, like nearly every multinational company dedicated to technology, has some new patents that will predictably use in the near future. In the first of the patents Apple as a record of working with integrated Heatpipe (Patent No. 7508662). A patent will probably get to see some day in the MacBooks.

The Heatpipe is a device used in computers to dissipate heat from them. And although using these as the sole source of cooling a processor is not viable (they emit too little space in temperature and time faults occurring in the system) if they can be used to release (in a passive way) certain components of a computer .

The second patent is a biometric security system and have described in greater detail here (though in English). The biometric DENTIFICATION should work simply by putting our thumb on the touch screen if this is an iPhone or an iPod. In the event that we are in a notebook, so this would work with the touchpad (the sensor that moves with the mouse on some laptops) and the webcam (so you will use something else to it from ciberligue to undress in front of the shift).

In addition to the patents described above, there are rumors about the possibility of using the microphone, or shaking the iPhone in a predefined sequence, this also could be used to unlock, for example.
