Communication system with enhanced partial power source and method of manufacturing same

摘要

The system of the present invention includes a conductive element, an electronic component, and a partial power source in the form of dissimilar materials. Upon contact with a conducting fluid, a voltage potential is created and the power source is completed, which activates the system. The electronic component controls the conductance between the dissimilar materials to produce a unique current signature. The system can also measure the conditions of the environment surrounding the system.

主权项

1. A method of manufacturing a communication device including a partial power source, the method comprising:
depositing a layer of adhesion material onto a first location of a support structure, wherein the layer of adhesion material defines a plurality of holes; depositing a first material onto the layer of adhesion material, wherein the first material adheres to the layer of adhesion material; depositing a layer of transition material onto a second location of the support structure; depositing a second material onto the layer of transition material, wherein the first material and the second material represent a voltage potential difference when the first material and the second material come into contact with a conducting fluid and spinning a polymer onto the device to provide a protective coating.
