1. A micro range RF data transmission system comprising:

  • at least one transmitter incorporated in a moving device, said moving device moves along a fixed path; and

    at least one receiver positioned along said fixed path such that when said moving device moves along the fixed path and is positioned proximate to one of the at least one receiver, one of said at least one transmitter aligns with said one of the at least one receiver creating a data transfer point, when said one of said at least one transmitter is at said data transfer point, said one of said at least one transmitter transmits a micro range signal to said one of said at least one receiver, said micro range signal cannot be detected outside a micro range, wherein at least one receiver is incorporated into said moving device and at least one transmitter is positioned along said fixed path, said at least one transmitter is positioned along said fixed path such that when said at least one receiver in said moving device is proximate to one of said at least one transmitter, said one of said at least one receiver in said moving device aligns with said one of said at least one transmitter creating a reverse data transfer point, said data transfer point and said reverse data transfer point allow for a simultaneous bi-directional data transfer between the fixed path and the moving device.
