Patent ID: 7379713

Claim:
A circuit package comprising: a first and a second circuit unit within the circuit package; a connection unit operable to connect to at least one external circuit and to provide electrical power to the circuit package, wherein the connection unit is operable to wirelessly connect the circuit package to an external circuit unit and to obtain electrical power from an optical field; a transmission unit operable to transmit electromagnetic waves and operably connected to the first circuit unit, wherein the electromagnetic waves are provided as optical radiation; and reception unit operable to receive electromagnetic waves and operably connected to the second circuit unit, wherein the electromagnetic waves are provided as optical radiation, such that data from the first unit may be transmitted by electromagnetic waves to the second unit through the transmission unit and the reception unit; wherein the second circuit unit comprises a connection control unit operable to control connections to at least one circuit external the package and to coordinate data interchange with the first circuit unit; and wherein the connection control unit comprises: the connection unit; a logic circuit operable to provide identifiers for the first and the second circuit units and to provide data protocols; and at least one transmission unit operable to transmit electromagnetic waves, such that data may be interchanged between the connection unit and the first circuit unit using electromagnetic waves.
