WIRELESS IDENTIFICATION DEVICE, RFID DEVICE, AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING A WIRELESS IDENTIFICATION DEVICE

摘要

A wireless identification device comprising a housing; circuitry in the housing configured to provide a signal to identify the device in response to an interrogation signal; and a selectively actuated switch supported by the housing and permitting operation of the circuitry only while the switch is actuated. A method of manufacturing a wireless identification device, the method comprising configuring circuitry to provide a signal to identify the device in response to an interrogation signal; coupling the circuitry to a selectively actuated switch, such that the circuitry provides the signal only while the switch is actuated; and encasing the circuitry in a housing such that the switch is actuable from outside the housing by touching a portion of the housing.
