| 摘要 |
A connector (100 100a) for connecting conductors (23 23a) of electrical or optical signals, the connector (100 100a) including as component thereof an embedded integrated circuit (200 200a) for performing a function having to do with either signals being conveyed across the connector or having to do with the connection itself, with active components of the embedded integrated circuit drawing power either from the power propagating along the conductors (23 23a) through the connector (100 100a), via a battery (210) included in the connector (100 100a), or via supply voltage lines (230). The integrated circuit/ chip (200 200a) can be electrical, optical, optoelectronic, or quantum. |
