摘要： An interface antenna is positioned between a tag antenna associated with a tag and a reader antenna associated with a reader. The interface antenna receives an electromagnetic carrier signal transmitted by the reader antenna and causes an increase in intensity of the electromagnetic carrier signal at the location of the tag antenna, thereby increasing the distance over which the tag can communicate with the reader. Where the tag is attached to a packaged object, the interface antenna may be included in the package to allow wireless data communication between the tag and a reader external to the package. For example, the interface antenna may be attached to a label on the package. At least a portion of the interface antenna may be formed from a conductive ink applied to the label and/or the container. The object may be a module, also known as a customer replaceable unit (CRU), and the tag may be configured as a customer replaceable unit monitor (CRUM).

The tag reader is adapted to read tag diagnostic information from an electronic monitoring tag. The electronic diagnostic device further includes a data processor in communication with the tag reader. The data processor is adapted to determine from the tag diagnostic data whether the electronic monitoring tag is operating within predetermined parameters, to identify one of a predetermined set of error categories if the electronic monitoring tag is operating outside the predetermined parameters, and to generate error category information. The electronic diagnostic device further includes a results communication element adapted to communicate the error category information generated by the data processor. The diagnostic device may also communicate correction information to the electronic monitoring tag.

摘要： An RFID bridge antenna is positioned between a tag antenna associated with a tag and a reader antenna associated with a reader. The bridge includes at least two RF antenna elements spaced apart from one another and coupled together by an electrical conductor. The first RF antenna element is located proximate to the tag antenna and the second RF antenna element is located proximate to the reader antenna. An electromagnetic carrier signal transmitted by the reader antenna is received by one of the RF antenna element and retransmitted to the tag antenna by the other RF antenna element, increasing the distance over which the tag can communicate with the reader. Where the tag is attached to a packaged object, the RFID bridge antenna may be included in the package to allow wireless data communication between the tag and a reader. The reader may also be located external to the package. For example, one of the RF antenna elements may be attached to a label on the package, allowing data stored in the tag to be extracted by the external reader. The object may be a module, also known as a customer replaceable unit (CRU), and the tag may be configured as a customer replaceable unit monitor (CRUM). The module may take the form of a container having a closure cap equipped with a tag and the container may be stored in a cabinet along with an RFID bridge antenna mounted on the cabinet door to establish data communication between the tag and a reader.

摘要： Security for a system and process for programming electronic devices, such as electronic monitors for replaceable modules for a printing apparatus is provided by combinations of the elements controlling the installation of device programming software onto the programming system by verifying installation permissions and installing the programming software only if the installation permissions are verified. In addition, refilling the programming system with new or additional programming permissions is controlled by verifying refill permissions by reading installation card information from an installation security card and electronically verifying that the installation card information contains a predetermined installation security code. Programming electronic devices is controlled by determining if programming an electronic device is within a programming permissions of the programming system, detecting the presence of an electronic device to be programmed, and programming the electronic device only if programming an electronic device is within the programming permissions of the programming system.

摘要： An adapter suitable for installation in a machine in place of a customer replaceable unit monitor having a first interface format is described herein. Upon installation of the adapter in the machine, the adapter enables data communication between the machine and a customer replaceable unit monitor having a second interface format that is different than the first interface format. The first and second interface formats may include one or more of: configuration of an electrical interface of the customer replaceable unit monitor, configuration of a mechanical interface of the customer replaceable unit monitor, and configuration of data input to and output from the customer replaceable unit monitor. The adapter may be attached to a module before the module is installed in the machine to simplify installation of the adapter. The adapter may remain attached to the machine when the module is removed from the machine to allow the machine to communicate with other customer replaceable unit monitors having the second interface format. The second customer replaceable unit monitor may include a microprocessor and non-volatile memory disposed in a common package.
