to other system components. An example is when the PTs replace
electronic components in test instruments and computers. Figure
5 depicts a flow diagram of AT 50 which conducts location,
identification, inventory, motion detection and measurement and
system functions (col. 22, lines 50-52). Shown in figure 8 is a
drawing of a two room building surrounded by a fence 111. Taut
wire 112 on fence 111 has PTs 135, which are embedded into fence
111. Numerous items in the drawing have PTs attached to them.
Also shown is active transceiver 126-AT. In the system depicted,
someone climbing over the fence will move wire 112 and displace
chips 135. This position change is noted by AT 126 and an alarm
is forwarded to a security service through automatic telephone
dialer 120, or will broadcast an alarm at the building location.
Similarly, if someone opens doors 128 or breaks window pane 132,
the chips (PTs) 135 change position and an alarm is sounded (col.
27, lines 23-63).
Turning to Fuller, we find that the reference is directed to
an apparatus and method for loading a software program from a
radio modem to an external computer. As shown in figure 1, radio
modem 100, includes an antenna 102 which receives RF signals
(col. 2, lines 63-66). The radio modem has an interface which
connects to an external computer through a PCMCIA bus 120 (col.
