Abstract: A method is disclosed for configuring each device of a batch of electronic devices with a respective unique identifier 12. A key set 38 is obtained in which each key is a random or pseudo-random number having a key width equal to a predefined code width 36. For each seed of a set of locally unique seeds 40, a uniquely invertible function is applied to generate a corresponding code 12c. The uniquely invertible function, which may be a block cipher 32, is configured to convert a seed into a corresponding code using the key set (see Figure 3). Every code generated for a given seed of the set of seeds is therefore unique for that set of seeds. The unique identifier is formed from the corresponding code and assigned to an electronic device 10.

Abstract: A hybrid encoder comprising an inductive encoder and a magnetic encoder where the inductive encoder acts as an absolute encoder and comprises a metal target 12 having a ramped width 13 and an inductor coil configured to generate an oscillating electromagnetic field. An inductive sensing circuit detects a manipulation of the oscillating electromagnetic field as the inductor coil(s) 14 moves relative to the metal target in a direction L which is perpendicular to the width 13 of the metal target. As the coil forms part of an LCR circuit the change in resonant frequency may be measured. The magnetic encoder acts as an incremental encoder and comprises multiple multipole magnets 16 and a magnetic sensing circuit (28 in figure 5) such a sensor chip is configured to detect a change in magnetic field as the magnetic sensing circuit moves relative to the dipole or multipole magnets. In rotary form, the target may be crescent shaped. However, the invention may be a linear encoder. The arrangement removes the disadvantages associated with an optical device due to dust accumulation.
