Patent Images
1. A breach sensor, comprising:
- a substrate including an integrated circuit;
a breach sensing element coupled to the circuit;
wherein the breach sensing element includes a light sensing element; and
a barrier configured to separate the breach sensing element from an ambient environment;
wherein the light sensing element is configured to capture light from the ambient environment admitted into the breach sensor in response to barrier damage;
wherein the light sensing element is configured to generate power in response to the barrier damage; and
wherein the integrated circuit is configured to operate on the power generated by the light sensing element.
