Abstract: A method of reading a transponder population including a plurality
of electronic transponders (10.1 to 10.10) includes the steps of energizing
the transponders with an energizing signal and causing all the
transponders to reply to the energizing signal with respective identification
code data. A reader (100) reads the respective identification code data
originating from one transponder of the plurality of transponders at a time.
Immediately after a transponder of the plurality of transponders has been
read, an acknowledgement signal is transmitted from the reader setting a
resetable flag (20) in the transponder for an indefinite period. The set flag
is utilized to inhibit the transponder from responding to the energizing
signal, as long as the flag is set and to cause the transponder to wait for
and to react to a reset signal to reset the flag and to revert to an active
mode wherein it automatically responds to the energizing signal. A
transponder (10), command decoder (26) and an electronic RF
identification system (110) are also disclosed and claimed.

Abstract: Differential switching circuitry, for use for
example in a digital-to-analog converter, includes: a
first switch element (S1) connected between a common
node (CN) and a first output node (OUT1), and a second
switch element (S2) connected between the common node
(N) and a second output node (OUT2). First and second
driver circuits (12, 14) correspond respectively to the
first and second switch elements, each driver circuit
switching its corresponding element ON and OFF in
dependence upon an applied input signal (IN1, IN2).
The driver circuits co-operate such that one switch
element is ON when the other is OFF. Each switch
element (S1, S2) is paired with a matching element (46,
44) in the other switch element's driver circuit. That
matching element (e.g. 44) is coupled operatively to
its paired switch element's driver circuit (14) and is
matched, e.g. in gate-source potential, with its paired
switch element (S2) such that switching of the matching
element from OFF to ON is matched with switching of its
paired switch element (S2) from OFF to ON, that
switching of the matching element serving to bring
about switching of said other switch element (S1) from
ON to OFF. 
     In such differential switching circuitry,
symmetrical switching of the switch elements is ensured
even if the input signals do not undergo symmetrical
changes.
