SYSTEM FOR VALIDATING REFILLABLE FUEL CARTRIDGES
First Claim
1. A refillable fuel cartridge for an electronic device comprising:
- a fuel container having a compartment to store fuel;
an access controller configured to authenticate another device using a first pre-specified authentication technique; and
a transceiver operatively coupled to the access controller, the transceiver being configured to receive an authentication query from the other device, the authentication query being used for authenticating the refillable fuel cartridge using a second pre-specified authentication technique.

Abstract
A system for validating refillable fuel cartridges is provided. The system includes a first device (302) and a second device (304). The first device is a refillable fuel cartridge that can be used in an electronic device (100). The first device includes a first access controller (306), a first transceiver (308), and a first fuel container (312). The first access controller authenticates the second device by using a first pre-specified authentication technique. The first transceiver receives an authentication query from the second device and the first fuel container stores fuel. The second device includes a second access controller (316), a second transceiver (318), and a second fuel container (322). The second access controller authenticates the first device by using a second pre-specified authentication technique. The second transceiver receives an authentication query from the first device and the second fuel container stores fuel.

20. A system for validating one or more refillable fuel cartridges, the system comprising:
-
a refillable fuel cartridge to be used with an electronic device comprising; a first fuel container having a first compartment to store fuel that is capable of being oxidized to produce electrical energy; a first access controller operatively coupled to the first fuel container, the first access controller being configured to authenticate a second device using a first pre-specified authentication technique; and a first transceiver operatively coupled to the first access controller, the first transceiver being configured to receive an authentication query from the second device, wherein the second device comprises; a second fuel container having a second compartment to store fuel that is capable of being oxidized to produce electrical energy; a second access controller operatively coupled to the second fuel container, the second access controller being configured to authenticate the first device using a second pre-specified authentication technique; and a second transceiver operatively coupled to the second access controller, the second transceiver being configured to receive an authentication query from the first device.
