Patent Images
1. An electrical device comprising:
- a substrate;
an electrical component on the substrate and an electrical contact;
a battery on or integrating the substrate for providing electrical energy to said electrical component, said flat battery comprising an electrode;
an open switch electrically connected between the electrical contact and the electrode, said switch preventing electrical communication between the electrical contact and the electrode while open; and
a conductor adapted to irreversibly close the open switch to thereby establish a permanent electrical circuit between the electrical contact and electrode.

Abstract
An electrical device is provided, including a substrate, an electrical component on the substrate, and a battery on or integrating the substrate for providing electrical energy to said electrical component. An open switch prevents electrical communication between the electrical component and the battery while open. A circuit activating component is adapted to irreversibly close the open switch to thereby establish a permanent electrical circuit between the electrical component and the battery.
