Asset tag with event detection capabilities
First Claim
1. ) A transient event detector comprising a container comprising at least one detecting area located on or in at least one wall of the container and at least one movable piece contained within the container, wherein at least one of the at least one detecting areas changes state when the movable piece enters or leaves a predetermined distance from the detecting area and an electronic circuit that is suitable to detect a transient change of state of the at least one detecting area.

Abstract
Described herein are a transient event detector comprising electrical circuitry suitable to detect a transient event, and a container having a wall with at least two electrically conductive contacts that are electrically connected to the electrical circuitry, each of the at least two electrically conductive contacts being electrically isolated from each other, and a movable electrically conductive piece that intermittently connects at least two of the at least two electrically conductive contacts when the electrically conductive piece is in motion, said movable electrically conducting piece having a mass that is low enough such that if the movable electrically conducting piece is at rest and bridges two of the at least two electrically conductive contacts no transient event is detected by the electrical circuitry, methods of use and methods of manufacture.
