A method of enabling partial reconfiguration in a device having configurable resources is disclosed. It is for use with multiple base stations. The attaching is accomplished by placing the boot onto the operational part, and then heat shrinking the boot to attach the boot to the operational part. The means for generating the ignition pulse is formed so that the ignition pulse can be generated by a short-circuit current established by the means for identifying the short circuit. The second stage is a stage of the processing pipeline that specifies processing of a protocol-specific portion of the message. The method includes steps of storing information about an item under inspection, linking a unique item identifier with the information to uniquely associate the information with the item under inspection and retrieving the information about the item under inspection in response to a request.
