Abstract:
Methods and systems for verifying compatibility of components (e.g. parts or devices) of an electronic system are disclosed. In certain embodiments the method includes: irradiating a first and second components presumably associated with the electronic system, with XRF exciting radiation, and detecting one or more XRF response signals indicative of a first and a second XRF signatures, emitted from the first and second components in response to the irradiation. Then the first and second XRF signatures are processed to determine whether they are associated with respectively a first and second XRF marking compositions on the first and second components, and the compatibility of the first and second components to the electronic system is determined/verified based on the correspondence between the first and a second XRF signatures/marking. Certain embodiments also disclose electronic systems including at least a first and a second electronic components/devices respectively having the first and second XRF marking compositions that enable verification of compatibility of the components. Certain embodiments disclose techniques for pairing the first and second components (e.g. devices) based a correspondence between the first and second XRF signatures/markings thereof. Certain embodiments disclose various calibration techniques for calibrating the XRF measurements of XRF markings applied to different substrate materials of the electronic components.

Claim (Index 31):
The method of  claim 29  wherein the first component is a first device comprising a first data storage module capable of storing a first data portion indicative of a correspondence between said first and second XRF signatures; wherein the second component is a second device comprising a second data storage module capable of storing a second data portion indicative of said correspondence between said first and second XRF signatures; and wherein at least one of said first and second devices comprises a pairing controller configured and operable for: (i) accessing said first and second data storage modules via wired or wireless connection between said first and second devices; (ii) retrieving said first and second data portions from said first and second data storage modules respectively; (iii) processing said first and second data portions to determine whether said first device is paired with said second device based on said correspondence between the first and second XRF signatures of said first and second devices; and (iv) enabling conditioned activation of mutual operation of said first and second devices based on the pairing between said first and second devices.
