Appeal No. 2000-2074
Application 09/178,070
identity, is within range of electromagnetic emissions from some
of the counterparts (26,20) attached to the things (24); it emits
an electromagnetic code which identifies the category the
counterpart belongs in; and some of the other counterparts
(26,20) start to pulsate in unison because the emitted code
matches their category code thereby activating their inductive
pulse circuits. See Appellant’s specification, page 3, lines
21-28, page 4, lines 21-23 and associated figure 1. The
counterpart (16) emits a momentary irregularity in its pulsing
emission; and after a varied number of pulses, the other
counterparts (26,20) emit irregularities in their inductively
pulsing circuits. See Appellant’s specification on page 3, lines
26-29, page 4, lines 14-18 and associated figure 1. The
counterpart (16) is designed to receive emissions at one
particular pulse number (28) following its emitted irregularity
and no other; if the other counterpart’s emitted irregularity
occurs at that one pulse number (28), identity is established by
the reception of emissions to the counterpart (16); and after
which, the counterparts (16,18) have means to indicate emissions
have been sent and received, whereby identification has been
validated. See Appellant’s specification on page 3, lines 26-35,
page 4, lines 14-16 and 26-30 and associated figure 1.
