Patent ID: 7757607

Claim:
A pyrotechnic ignition system comprising: an electric power source; a pyrotechnic device; an ignition communication pathway from the power source to the pyrotechnic device; wherein the pathway includes an electrical conductor comprising a receiving induction member in electrical communication with the pyrotechnic device; a transmitting induction member in electrical communication with the power source; and a wireless portion which is intermediate the power source and the conductor along the pathway and is defined between the receiving induction member and the transmitting induction member; wherein the pyrotechnic device is selectively ignitable via the pathway in response to an electric current which is produced by the power source and flows within the transmitting induction member to produce an electromagnetic field across the wireless portion to induce an electric current in the receiving induction member; and wherein the transmitting induction member is adjacent the receiving induction member during ignition of the pyrotechnic device.
