1. A device comprising:
- a desiccant;
an enclosure having an interior surrounding the desiccant and including a moisture vapor permeable membrane with a moisture permeability sufficient to pass moisture from outside the enclosure to the desiccant; and
a functional device within the enclosure including processing circuitry to perform at least one function associated with the desiccant, wherein the functional device is configured to control operation of the desiccant by controlling an interaction of the desiccant with an environment outside the enclosure, and wherein the functional device controls a physical exposure of the desiccant to the environment in a manner that varies over time.

31. A device comprising:
-
a desiccant; an enclosure having an interior surrounding the desiccant and including a moisture vapor permeable membrane with a moisture permeability sufficient to pass moisture from outside the enclosure to the desiccant; and a functional device coupled to an exterior of the enclosure including processing circuitry to perform at least one function associated with the desiccant, wherein the functional device is configured to control operation of the desiccant by controlling an interaction of the desiccant with an environment outside the enclosure, and wherein the functional device controls a physical exposure of the desiccant to the environment in a manner that varies over time.
