First Claim
1. An apparatus adapted to be connected to a component that is part of a pump system or a manifold trailer, the apparatus comprising:
- a block that defines a first exterior surface and an opposing second exterior surface and that comprises;
a recess that is formed in the first exterior surface and that extends towards the second exterior surface; and
an opening that is formed in the second exterior surface; and
an electronic identifying device at least partially accommodated within the recess, the electronic identifying device comprising;
a first portion having data stored thereon that provides identification of the component to which the apparatus is adapted to be connected.

Abstract
According to one aspect, an apparatus adapted to be connected to a component that is part of a pump system or a manifold trailer includes a block defining opposing first and second exterior surfaces. In one aspect, the block includes a recess formed in the first exterior surface and extending towards the second exterior surface, and an opening formed in the second exterior surface. In another aspect, the apparatus also includes an electronic identifying device at least partially accommodated within the recess, the device including a first portion having data stored thereon that provides identification of the component. In one aspect, the electronic identifying device further includes a second portion having data stored thereon that provides one of: information associated with certification of the component; and identification of the pump system or the manifold trailer of which the component is a part.

14. An apparatus, comprising:
-
a carrier comprising a block that defines a first exterior surface and an opposing second exterior surface, the block comprising; a recess that is formed in the first exterior surface and that extends towards the second exterior surface; and an opening that is formed in the second exterior surface and that extends towards the recess, the opening defining a longitudinal axis; and an electronic identifying device fixedly attached to the block and at least partially accommodated within the recess so that the longitudinal axis of the opening intersects the electronic identifying device. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16)

17. A method for securing an electronic identifying device to a component that is part of a pump system or a manifold trailer, the method comprising:
-
attaching a carrier to a band, the carrier comprising a block that defines a first exterior surface and an opposing second exterior surface; wherein the block comprises; a recess that is formed in the first exterior surface and that extends towards the second exterior surface; and an opening that is formed in the second exterior surface; and attaching the electronic identifying device fixedly to the block so that the electronic identifying device is at least partially accommodated within the recess of the block; and securing the band circumferentially around the component so that relative movement between the band and the component is prevented or reduced; wherein, when the band is secured circumferentially around the component, the electronic identifying device is disposed between the band and the component. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
