1. An apparatus, comprising:

  • a plurality of memory modules disposed within a portable housing and configured to store data; and

    a reconfigurable circuit module disposed within the portable housing and operatively coupled to the plurality of memory modules, the reconfigurable circuit module configured to be operatively coupled to a sensing device and a host processor, the reconfigurable circuit module configured to receive a representation of sensed data generated at the sensing device, the reconfigurable circuit module configured to receive the representation of the sensed data from the host processor when a frequency associated with the sensed data meets a criterion, the reconfigurable circuit module configured to receive the representation of the sensed data from the sensing device and not the host processor when the frequency associated with the sensed data does not meet the criterion,the reconfigurable circuit module configured to transition from a first configuration to a second configuration in response to receiving the representation of the sensed data, the reconfigurable circuit module configured to retrieve, based on the representation of the sensed data and when in the second configuration, data stored in at least one memory module from the plurality of memory modules, the reconfigurable circuit module configured to compare the retrieved data to the representation of the sensed data to produce matched data, the reconfigurable circuit module configured to send a data match result based on the matched data.
