Abstract
A memory unit generates a corresponding output signal bearing data in response to an input signal. The memory unit includes a series of circuit stages configured to be triggered by the input signal at a first stage of the series, thereby causing a sequential triggering of stages along the series to a last stage to generate the output signal. The data is represented in time durations taken for each stage in the series to trigger a subsequent stage. In at least one embodiment, the data-bearing output signal is a temporally-encoded reflection of interrogation radiation received from an interrogation device. Each stage is configured to produce a detectable fluctuation in the output signal upon triggering of the stage such that the data in the output signal is represented by the time between fluctuations produced by each stage triggering a subsequent stage in the series.
