Monitoring Device and Method of Operating a Monitoring Device to Transmit Data
First Claim
1. A monitoring device, comprising:
- a first substrate adapted to be secured to a structure;
a second substrate;
a third substrate disposed between the first and the second substrates; and
an electronic circuit affixed to the third substrate, wherein the electronic circuit comprises at least one light emitting device and a processor, and the at least one light emitting device is positioned such that light emitted thereby is directed outwardly through the second substrate,wherein the processor is adapted to select a plurality binary values to transmit, and in response, to operate the at least one light emitting device in one of an on state and off state in accordance with each binary value.

Abstract
A monitoring device and a method of operating the monitoring device are disclosed. The monitoring device includes a first substrate adapted to be secured to a structure, a second substrate, and a third substrate disposed between the first and the second substrates. The monitoring device further includes an electronic circuit affixed to the third substrate, wherein the electronic circuit comprises at least one light emitting device and a processor, and the at least one light emitting device is positioned such that light emitted thereby is directed outwardly through the second substrate. The processor selects a plurality binary values to transmit, and in response, to operates the at least one light emitting device in one of an on state and off state in accordance with each binary value.
