Patent Images
1. A method for non contact programming of a first device having memory means in accordance with a data signal produced by a second device, comprising the steps of:
- a) generating at said second device a localized electromagnetic pulse signal corresponding to said data signal;
b) positioning said first device relative to said second device so as to effect electromagnetic coupling therebetween; and
c) sampling and detecting said electromagnetic pulse signal at said first device and in response decoding and storing said data signal in said memory means, whereby said first device becomes programmed in accordance with said data signal.
