Abstract:
1. A system for controlling a process, wherein the process is implemented by a machine system, comprising: a user interface device configured to receive user input; a first transceiver coupled to the user interface device to form a first assembly, the first transceiver comprising a first transformer coil, the first transceiver configured to receive communications from the user interface device related to the user input, receive power for at least the first transceiver using current induced in the first transformer coil by a second transformer coil, and transfer the communications over the first transformer coil; a second transceiver comprising the second transformer coil and configured to receive the communications from the first transformer coil over the second transformer coil while the current is being induced in the first transformer coil by the second transformer coil, and transfer the communications to control the process implemented by the machine system; the first assembly insertable into an aperture of the second transceiver to position the first transformer coil into proximity and axial alignment with the second transformer coil; and the second transceiver configured to induce the current in the first transformer coil by coupling at least near field magnetic energy between the first transformer coil and the second transformer coil when the second transformer coil is proximate to and axially aligned with the first transformer coil along a shared axis.
