Patent ID: 8094654

Claim:
A method of transferring information in electronic modules connected in a series circuit such that a particular number of input connections of one of the electronic modules is connected with the particular number of output connections of another of the electronic modules, the method comprising: transferring, at each electronic module, information which each electronic module receives on an input side at an nth of each electronic module's input connections is transferred to an nth of each electronic module's output connections; wherein the input connections and the output connections of each electronic module are arranged in a same geometric arrangement; receiving, at each electronic module, irrespective of a geometric orientation of the input connections of a given electronic module in relation to a geometric orientation of the output connections of a corresponding electronic module connected with the given electronic module on the input side of the given electronic module, at the same of the given electronic module's input connections, a particular information which is transmitted by the same output connections of the corresponding electronic module; and if the particular information comprises n bits detecting or correcting errors, where n is a natural number, transmitting the n bits detecting or correcting errors via n further input connections or output connections of each electronic module which are not subject to rotation or reflection.
